I stumbled over this website after searching "menopause belly". After reading a posting, I immediately joined. This is my second day, and I'm very excited. I am 48 years old, wife and mother of 2 boys. The past 2 years have been horrible. My body has a mind of its own, and I have this belly that I never had before - I look like I'm 5-6 months pregnant. I just changed jobs and am back working in a very professional office with visitors and employees from all around the world. I can't fit into any of my good clothes and had to buy all new - my husband keeps telling me to take my other clothes to a tailor and get them "let out". What a joke! I have a small frame and when I gain 5 pounds - I go up a size and I turn into godzilla. I don't even know how much weight I have gained, because I'm too scared to get on the scale. Anyway, I am going to do the research on HCG. I have an appt. with my OBGYN next month and will talk to her about this diet and injections. I am currently taking bio-identical hormones for about a year - but truthfully - I don't really feel like they are helping. I still don't have much energy or motivation. My hair seems like it's become thinner, my skin is different (breakouts too), and I don't like to look at my body (I jump into the shower and when finished, I wrap a towel around me). I exercize on my Norditrak and do stretches. Will someone or all of you tell me how you are currently doing on this weight loss system. I'm a little nervous about injections. Plus, don't you have to be careful with certain vitamins so you don't harm your body? I would LOVE to hear from you ladies - I'm inspired!!! Thanks much!!!
