You have to have gone six months without having a period to be considered post menopausal, I've gone two. I am so happy to be finished with that part of my life I can't even tell you how happy!!

I have lost ten pounds. I thought at first it was getting the new puppy because I started taking them all for a walk every morning instead of just hit and miss walks every once in a while and that may be part of it, but, I'm pretty sure it is the getting thru menopause. I feel better - I mean that makes sense because for the six months before I stopped I was bleeding heavily and painfully for weeks at a time with very little time in between periods. I was worn out.

I've heard women who were ashamed or sad because of menopause - I feel FREE!!

I know I need to do some reading about how to adjust my eating and supplements to maintain optimum health and I will as soon as I make it thru the first six months and can totally believe it is finally OVER!!

My mom is currently in this stage and yep, she's losing weight, too. Interesting, huh? I'm glad you are feeling "freer." :)

You should do something to celebrate. :)

Yea!
Historically, this is when women are of the most use.

I am so glad to be getting closer, but it's in 'fits and starts' - I haven't skipped a period for a few months, but at least I'm not having them every two weeks like I was for awhile. I'm happy for your Aola and not too far behind. I love losing the weight, too. Even a little bit helps motivate me.
