Hi just a newbie here, I decided to trial this for one month and if I like what I see I will then look into a yearly subscription. I am very excited to be here as I have recently gained weight through menopause, my gynaecologist told me I am now over menopause abs I am only 46, had a partial hysterectomy at 35. I am the heaviest I have ever been and really would like to she’s about 10 kilos .. any tip, advise or people like myself I would love to hear your story 😊

Hi Jules, I am new as well. Thought I would try this app as a trial and if the first month works I would sign up for the year. I too have have just gained weight due to menopause and not start to love my body any more 🥴. I am only 48 and am trying to lose 15 kilos. My doctor told me to count my carbs ( I also have diabetes type 2) and walk for exercise. God luck in you journey 😊

Hi Jules$ and Dee_lights. Same club — the post-menopause club. I’ve been post for about 6 years now (I’m almost 52) and have found that losing weight takes a longer than it used to and seems easier to gain — Bad combination! But it can be done…. I’ve had to really rethink my relationship with diet/food and exercise — well, I work on that EVERYday (lol). Acceptance that it won’t be as easy as when I was in my 20s…. Or 30s… or (for me), 40s. Celebrate every pound. Don’t ever say “just a pound lost” or “only 10 mins of exercise.” It all counts that day, and toward building a better habits and mindset.
I have tons more to say about being a post menopausal woman and look forward to more meaningful conversations about it. 😊 You can do it. We all can!

It takes a village! I’m part of the post menopause club and have to agree that as we age losing weight becomes more of a challenge 😢
