2 weeks later no change!!! grrr this happens everytime I diet & exercise I can't get below 80kgs and its making me furious!!! I weigh everything I eat & drink, I adhere to my advised daily calorie intake, eat only fresh healthy foods and push myself to exercise regardless how tired I am. My peri menopause is driving me bonkers- lack of sleep obviously due from the on/off 24 hr sweats & hot flushes, and now crazy hormones making me emotional. Been extreme these last 2 weeks the worst I've ever experienced, makes me wonder if this is hindering my weightloss? The Harmony herbal menopause tablets making no difference. (scream) I'm living a nightmare I can't escape from!!! I won't give up I HATE BEING OVERWEIGHT! 😡

Maybe try to not take the tablets maybe that's why you can't lose weight. Diets are no good just try healthy eating keep track of what you are eating and don't go over your calories if you are 80 kilos don't go over 1500 calories a day. I got this information on weight watchers 10 years ago. You can even buy weight watchers calculator on ebay the one you get is with calories and saturated fat on it that way you can work out what the point system is I hope this helps

Thanks Bridget, yes it's not a diet its my lifestyle. I'm eating healthy foods, I've not eaten any junk foods, sweets (of any sort), pasta, deep fried foods, alcohol, rarely sauces, & rarely bread, or diet drinks. I've love water & drink plenty. I need the menopause tablets otherwise I won't be able to cope (only those who experience this will understand, its a nasty change!) Yesterday I started Harmony extra strong tablets as my symptoms were driving me over the edge. These tablets worked, I feel sane again & actually slept sound for the first time in weeks. I'm determined to lose weight.

Yes, menopause is challenging. Please keep up the good work. Sometimes weight loss takes time. Reflect on what you have already achieved.

I hear and understand. I have this too. I can’t take the meds for it so I have all your symptoms plus some. Don’t give up. Just keep going. Your weight will sort itself. Maybe just maintain for a month. Then give it another go. I have just done this and it’s starting to move again. Maintenance is important too. Just a suggestion. 🥰🥰

Kookaburrasong, thankyou.
So true to reflect on what I've achieved 🥰 it certainly is keeping me motivated. The weather's been a bit cool so this morning I went through trying on all my "dreaded large collection" of brand new sized pants & leggings ranging from16-20 🙄.
I was pleased to find all the size 18's & 20's too big! 🤗 So in my collection bag for Vinnies they go.

Mrsmck, thanks. 🥰 I have taken your advice and did a bit of shopping to buy eyeshadow & mascara. I will make an effort to wear makeup more often, it does help me feel good.👏

Mials11 🥰🥰🥰 glad to hear I'm not alone. I too was 54 kgs and put on 30kgs (response from my body when I got TSS) plus another 12kgs from the hormones causing so much problems. We are going to fight this together and have the victory 💪we are not overweight from letting ourselves go 🙄 We are mighty strong women!!! This community keeps us encouraged whenever we feel down or defeated. Awesome group.🥰
