LOL! I guess that I have unwittingly taken one for the team. I have not had more than a couple pounds variance of weight in years. I am now just past 5 1/2 years out and am up 25 pounds from my standard weight. Yeah, Marta.... I went to the earlymenopause.com and the other site (don't recall the name) and have found that I fit the bill on several of the points. Symptoms: ** hot flashes (well, more like periods of being flushed) ** weight gain (quite pi$$ed about that one) ** sleeping poorly (I have had to start melatonin again) ** moody (maybe due to lack of sleep, but easily angered or emotional) Plan of action: ** have immediately increased my water consumption ** taking a melatonin at night when getting ready for bed, instead of waiting til I have laid there for 40 minutes ruminating ** not journaling necessarily, but taking better note of what I eat and going for less carbs ** plan to make red velvet cake for birthday, then lay off sweets (maybe have a donut a week that my evil doctor brings and forces me to eat, lol) ** exercise at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes at a time, and slowly increase this in a few weeks in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, I aim for 2000 mg beyond what is in my food and regular vitamins. Most days I hit it. If I'm out longer than expected, I may occasionally have a 1500 mg day. And I take my multi's and my ADEK's and an occasional biotin and folic acid...all that stuff. I even drink a little protein supplement now and then. So, Dee!!! Would you please go get fat for a while? I'm asking because I seem to learn from YOUR mistakes and for the past few days, I've eaten tons of food...much of it garbage. (Please remember that I'm a revision and we start out with a generally bad attitude of the been-there-done-that-variety...so, kindly allow for that factor.) If you could just start ballooning up and take a few photos, maybe I'd catch on and save myself even MORE heartache. You wouldn't mind, would you? It would be for the good of the patients!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 , I made that one up. Is it real? lol Freakin' funny! Oh, and the weight, maybe that is my problem, also. I tried to exercise this am and it turns out I am allergic to it so I have to start slowly and work my way up. My feet broke out in hives after less than five minutes on the elliptical trainer.
