Update! 12/1/2024

Hello December!

I have finally reached a weight and size that makes me happy and less obsessive with the scale. I no longer weigh every day. Feels incredibly freeing.

But I do want to say: women clothing sizes are stupid. They range so dramatically between brands. It’s crazy how a certain size or number on the scale can make or break your day. It’s never ending.

But for me, 2025 I can focus on healthy gains versus weight loss!

Hugs to you all!

💋

Picture: 2019: size 12-14. Now: size 4-6. Total loss over 3 years #75 in my 50’s! It’s not been easy. But worth it!!

My advice in this scenario is to ensure you eat a breakfast high in protein and fiber before 11am to stabilize blood sugar and not further spike cortisol. If you do skip a meal, it’s better to make it dinner.

Best Menopause Supplements for Weight Loss

Effective Weight Management During Menopause: The Role of Supplements and Lifestyle Changes

IntroductionMenopause is a natural phase in every woman's life, but it can bring about significant changes, particularly in weight management. During this time, hormonal shifts make it more challenging to maintain or lose weight. Managing weight gain during menopause is essential for overall health and well-being, helping women stay active and confident as they transition through this phase.

Understanding Menopause and Weight GainMenopause triggers hormonal changes, particularly a drop in estrogen levels, which affects metabolism and body composition. As metabolism slows, women may notice increased fat around the abdomen and difficulty losing weight, even with healthy eating and exercise habits. Additionally, these changes can lead to muscle loss, making it harder to burn calories efficiently. Weight gain during menopause is a common struggle, but understanding the factors behind it can help women find effective solutions.

The Role of Supplements in Weight ManagementSupplements can play an important role in supporting weight loss during menopause. The right supplements can help balance hormones, boost metabolism, and improve energy levels. It’s crucial to choose supplements that are specifically designed for menopause, as they target the unique challenges women face during this stage. Supplements can provide additional support where diet and exercise alone may fall short, promoting better weight management and overall health.

Key Ingredients to Look for in Menopause Supplements

When choosing menopause supplements, it’s important to focus on ingredients that have been shown to support weight loss. Key ingredients include:

Calcium and Vitamin D: These help maintain bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, which becomes a concern during menopause.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These healthy fats help reduce inflammation, support heart health, and can aid in weight loss by regulating metabolism.

Green Tea Extract: Known for its fat-burning properties, green tea extract boosts metabolism and helps burn calories more effectively.

Black Cohosh: This herbal extract is often used to balance hormones and reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes, which can also impact weight.

Magnesium: Magnesium helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, making it easier to control cravings and manage weight.

I take pictures of everything I cook and eat in part so doctors will take my probably-steroid-related rapid weight gain seriously and try to figure out the root cause (because it's evidently an endocrine issue) instead of rolling their eyes and telling me to lay off the fried chicken and sugary soda or whatever. Girl I'm fat I eat like a dietician's dream in defense against medical malpractice. I would like to exercise more but nobody will treat my chronic pain and REPEATED SHOULDER DISLOCATIONS lmao

It most definitely affects my mood when there is no definable sunrise!

But nope. Life is what you make it. And I'm very lucky to have the ability and allowance to sit in the morning light, no matter what the quality, and enjoy my breakfast.

I didn't do much of a fast. Around 13.5hrs. Continuing my focus on....well.....relaxing the obsessive FOCUS, lol.

And I just scraped through the Menopause Reset tip of waiting two hours before having caffeine.

But scrape through I did!

That was after a pretty heavy upper body strength workout.

Wow, it feels good to get back into serious training!

Hello Monday, I'm ready for you!

[alwaysalreadyangry]

surgeon suggested HRT without me even bringing it up first so I’m getting HRT!!! I mean I have to wait for my GP to give me the prescription but I’m speaking to her on Wednesday, I already have the clinic letter ❤️

Anyway there were no signs of recurrence so I’ve now been discharged and they only need to see me if I have any symptoms. Which is both good but also I cannot BELIEVE it has been two years since surgery. In some ways I feel like mentally I am still there and maybe always will be. I don’t really get how to move on from this. But time, as ever, doesn’t wait.

How the menopause is destroying my life (and why I still laugh about it - Just!)

Menopause is supposed to be a natural and normal part of aging for women, but let me tell you, it feels more like a cruel and unusual punishment. Ever since I entered this phase of life, I have been experiencing a range of symptoms that make me feel like I am losing my mind, my body, and my dignity. Here are some of the ways that menopause is destroying my life, and how I try to cope with them with a sense of humour.

Low libido. This is one of the most disappointing and frustrating symptoms of menopause. It is like having a switch for sex that turns it off completely or makes it painful or unsatisfying. No matter how much I love or desire my partner, I can’t seem to get aroused or orgasmic. Sometimes I feel like I am frigid or impotent. I have had to fake it or avoid it altogether to spare myself or my partner from embarrassment or disappointment. The only way I can deal with it is by communicating openly with my partner, trying new things or toys in bed, using lubricants or creams, and seeking professional help if needed.

Why You've Gained Weight & Can't Lose It

If you’re really honest, or maybe not so honest, with yourself, you can easily name the thing or set of things that let to your jeans being unbreathable. It doesn’t take us much to come up with the list of things that equated to that moment of laying on the bed, holding your breath, trying to button your jeans and praying the zipper doesn’t pop. It’s a horrifying moment and we’re hoping it’s…

How about a before and after photo? I’ve come a long way. Be kind to yourself! 💋

[sleepycatmama]

55 here and in menopause. It will also fuck up your tendons. Apparently HRT helps, but I wouldn't know. My doctor said I can't have HRT because I'm fat. Really tired of the tendon pain, and my feet twisting up to the sides when that flares up.

Gather around, my young friends and fellow dinosaurs, let me tell you about some BULLSHIT no one ever tells you about. I'm talking about menopause and perimenopause. Now, menopause has a very stringent medical definition. You have to not have had a period for exactly 12 months and a day to be considered in menopause. All the bullshit before that day once you start going through The Change is considered perimenopause. Here's some bullshit you might experience that people actually talk about when you're in perimenopause:

- shorter time between periods

- irregular periods

- hot flashes and/or cold flashes

- fucked up sleep

- OMG NIGHT SWEATS

- Vagina as dry as the Sahara desert

- lighter periods and/or endless bleeding like it's The Flood but it's in your pants

- lack of interest in Adult Fun Times

This time of joy can last anywhere from a couple of years to a god damn decade and there's no medical way right now to predict it.

Here's some of the REAL bullshit they don't tell you about but your dinosaur aunt is here to let you know:

- You can start perimenopause in your 30s, don't listen to idiot doctors who tell you you're "too young" because they don't know your body like you do.

- Perimenopause will make you HELLA DUMB. Seriously, I'm talking Bigly broken brain. Brain fog? Check. Short term memory? Wave goodbye to it. Ability to make words form out of thoughts? Yeah, good luck to you.

- Perimenopause can cause horrible fatigue because in addition to losing estrogen, you're also losing testosterone. Oh and that also leads to muscle wasting, cool cool.

- Things might suddenly hurt more because estrogen is known to be neuroprotective.

- If you're super lucky like I am, and like to collect rare illnesses, you might even get Burning Mouth Syndrome 💀

- And meanwhile, while you're going through this bullshit, you'll be getting gaslit by doctors who are operating based on 30 year old debunked data about how HRT causes breast cancer (not really) and that they shouldn't put you on it until you're in actual menopause. (Data shows starting HRT early can potentially prevent Alzheimer's in later years.)

- There are entire online clinics right now (I use Midi Health) focused on providing care for peri and menopausal patients and they will happily prescribe you HRT even if your regular PCP or OBGYN do not (if you meet the criteria). I've been pretty impressed with how holistically they view the patient. For full disclosure, I learned about them from my integrative health doctor and they do not accept Medicare (yet).

I'm 46 years old right now and I've been symptomatic for perimenopause for the last 8 years, although it's gotten the most dramatic in the past 2 years or so, which I hope means I'm almost done, holy hell. Yeah I was on the early side, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to you, so it's never too early to think about these things. And I hope to at least spare some of you the mind-fuckery I've been through because no one told me about most of this stuff, including my own mother who just DOESN'T REMEMBER what happened to her and now I completely understand why. And because I also have a connective tissue disease, I used to just dismiss my pain and fatigue as being caused by that illness rather than the loss of hormones.

Anyways, this is why we need Elders in our lives, so they can do Grandma Story Hour like I just did and validate you when the entire medical field tries to gaslight you. I hope you've found some or all of this educational/useful. Please share with your friends because we really do NOT talk about this stuff enough. (Ewwww Moon Blood!)

Stay well, and don't let the bastards grind you down!

Let’s have a REAL conversation about aging and the changes our bodies go through.

If you’ve followed me awhile, you know I was 60 lbs overweight in my 20s. Got sick of the discomfort and yo-yo dieting, took responsibility, learned my mind and body, and became obsessed with nutrition. My nutrition and fitness has been dialed in for years and I know my body. Yet, despite doing everything right, I gained 10 lbs this last year. Perimenopause blindsided me.

I feel softer than I’ve been used to, hormones are going crazy, mood and body temp all over the place…. It’s humbling, to say the least. (Ladies, raise your hand if you feel me!? 🙋🏻‍���️) Instead of fighting the natural process (which would only increase stress & work against hormone health), I’m staying curious and relearning me in this new phase. I’m determined to go through this new phase the best I can!

There is a RIGHT way to eat and exercise based on your cycle, or the phase of life you’re in. When I learned this new science, I realized I was pushing my body past the point of hormone balance. Fitness is such a mental release for me, but doing high-interval training during my luteal phase or in perimenopause was turning on fat storage and working against my hormone balance. The way we eat and move can either hurt or help hormone health. Learning and implementing this can make all the difference. More to come on this….
