I gained weight whilst going through the menopause too...it's a killer! I have been on here since August and managed to lose a stone, which feels great.

Have you managed to check out the pinned post section on here, to the right of the screen if you are on a pc and at the bottom on a mobile. It has a post for newbies with loads of useful links and advice.

The forum is lovely and really supportive.

Wishing you all the best...you can do it!

hi - I'm also feeling somewhat menopausal but haven't had anything confirmed. I'm also hoping to lose the best part of a stone for Xmas. Also got a holiday booked for early next year. Making an effort to eat less and move more. Here's to us 😊

Hello 😊 Weight loss is definitely more difficult after the menopause but not impossible 😊 I've found restricting sugar and white carbs helpful, also eating earlier in the day 😊

Good luck 😊

Thank you....yes let's! Ideally I'd like to lose a stone and a half but a stone by Xmas sounds doable! I'm pleased to have stuck to diet for 3 days! For me it's been hard to get in the zone but I know my physical and mental health will improve if I am a bit lighter. Let's support each other!

Hello Besom21 I have lost over a stone this year but I'm still 3 stones overweight. I'm struggling and haven't lost anything since the end of June, but would like to lose another stone before Christmas. I would be very happy to keep in touch along the way. Good luck with your weight loss.
