Greetings from California!

Since September I've been losing weight with GLP's. This week I'm down nearly twenty pounds. (!!!) For someone going through menopause, the progress has been gradual and consistent, but watching the scale finally drop after 6 years of continuous weight gain is incredible. Having a feeling of control at last is such a comfort. I can't wait to hear how others have succeeded. If you're a woman going through the menopause transition, I'd really like to connect. This shit is real hard and we need each other 🙂

My start was with a friend's ozembic, after that I moved to tirz from single vial websites, and in the end I discovered grey. Since November, I've been stuck to the screen, learning, reading and absorbing on other platforms and forums. Not much work is getting done on my end these days, but I'm so thankful to find communities of people who want to support one another, share information, and lower cost and risk together.

After a few orders arrived, I realized I need to be testing/filtering and probably a bunch of other things I don't even know about yet. That's how I found this forum. Hoping to join group testing.

Excited to be here. Thank you for having me.
 
I'm in Peri and things have been slow and steady for me too! Honestly, that pace suits me fine — I'm vain and I don't want my face to run into any problems as the weight comes off lol. After I got covid I put on a lot of weight, and then came a year of chronic fatigue, followed by years of massive POTS. My cardiovascular recovery has been gradual, which is awesome, and I've finally made it back to weights.

Prior to covid I was a bit too thin, so when the weight went on I could see that my face looked really good, so my hope is to drop the perfect amount of weight so the body looks great and the face does too. Right now I've got a good hip to waist ratio.

anyway excited that there are menopausal ppl here!! I'm in another chat and it's mostly very lovely gym bros but I fee like my needs are a little different lol
 
Appreciate you telling us your story, Rose.

Steady wins the race! And I get wanting to keep your face looking full. Those few added pounds do a great job of masking lines!!

I figure what we need and go through is a world away from the gym bros, though I'm glad to pick up what I can from them. My brother is doing this too and he keeps wondering -why do I hit so many plateaus? 😆🤷‍♀️

Are there any groups out there for people like us?
 
I really miss being in California. With the insulation I've recently lost, I think things would be far more pleasant there compared to the northern area.

At the moment, a heat wave has us in its grip 😆
 
Yep, it’s both wonderful and strange. While the entire east coast is stuck beneath 60” of snow, I’m pulling out my sundresses.

Right now I'm out jogging in jeans plus a thick winter coat, so that sounds wonderful to me.
 
Yesterday, the Wine Country hit 73 degrees. Ideal conditions for taking the Harley out and getting some fresh air.
