I just turned 48 and last spring started menopause! uhg. Between developing a slight blood sugar problem and the hormone thing, I piled 20 pounds on while dieting!!! I already badly needed to lose weight so the extra 20 really did me in. I feel 20 years older than I am. But hormones and sugar under control, now is the time to get the weight and everything else under control. Just started Atkins.

I'm a wife to a very wonderful supportive man and have a teenage son.
