Hi Judy, thanks so much. I’m so happy with these makes.
As far as my weight loss journey goes it took me 10.5 months to lose 80 lbs. I am post menopausal so I understand your situation.
No secret, I began by researching what the appropriate number of calories for my body, age and honest level of activity was. Then I began to keep a food journal. I bought a food scale and planned out my entire days worth of food. If I did not write it down I did not eat it.
As I lost some weight I was able to increase my activity in the way of strength training with dumbbells. This did wonders for increasing a post menopausal metabolism. I continued with the food journal increasing my calories to fuel my workouts as I continued to build muscle. Today at my goal weight I continue with the food journal and the strength training. I also do some cardio for heart and lungs but my heaviest concentration is weight lifting.

@@sewjourns7128 well you look amazing! Thank you for sharing your story 🥰I really appreciate it! I have been doing some research and found that for menopausal women weight training is best. I love your idea of writing and planning your meals. I will start to journal and plan better myself. I live a busy life so I think having some pre prepared meals would work better for when Im too tired to cook. So you’ve not only inspired me in my sewing but in my menopause/ Weight loss journey as well. Can’t thank you enough! 🤗😘
