No guys you are not mad, but it sure feels like it. There are days that I get up and wonder who that person in the mirror is lol. Between hot -flashes, up and down in the night time, mood swings, and the added weight just don’t know who this person living in my body is.
Have dieted ‘ walked given up about anything that has been deemed fattening ‘ and still the weight is there. Am at my wits end ‘ and my sex life is gone on an extended holiday, from which I think it’s never gonna return.
But hopefully I will find something which will give me back control of my life and my body. So if anyone out there has any suggestions as to anything I can do they would be very much appreciated.
Meanwhile I will go back to my search, for the old me, who is buried in under the extra 30 lbs I have and don’t want.
Thanks guys for listening, have a great day. Hang in there it has to end sometime.

I’m 58, I began putting on some weight at about 50 when I began menopause. Nothing that used to work for weight loss worked so I thought I was stuck with it. then a year ago, I decided to cut out sugar, and lower my food intake ( I was wanting to feed my face continually), Started exercising 30- 45 minutes 4 days a week. Finally after about a month it started coming off. I’m 5′ 1 and have lost 15 lbs so down to 115 and I feel great. i may go for a few more lbs this summer when I get in the mood again. Don’t give up, I noticed it took at least 3 weeks to even lose 1 lb, so was only losing a couple of pounds a month to be begin. It was one of the hardest things I’ve done. But it was worth it!
