I think going through menopause is what made me gain so much weight (that is before BFC) and I sometimes wonder if being post-menopause is what is making my weight loss so slow! But losing slow is better than not losing at all.<br />I use the coconut oil from Walmart too! I use it in my baking and cooking.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900189705707651375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-21537693835991495332012-05-31T21:23:55.375-07:002012-05-31T21:23:55.375-07:00I'm 53 years old and I have been in menopause ...I'm 53 years old and I have been in menopause since 2008 and nights are the worse for me. I can fall asleep and then it seems like I'm startled awake for no reason then I realize that I went to bed freezing and now I'm sweating to death and feel like I can't breathe so I'm awake. I started taking a natural remedy from Costco and it seems to help a lot. It is Estroven. I take one at dinner time. Yes you will have weight gain when you start menopause. I use to call it my menopausal fat. That will start tapering off after you stop having your periods. Menopause is different for everyone and yes it can go on for years. We also need a support group as we go through this. You can almost feel like you are going a little insane at times or a lot other times..lol. I felt at times that my menopause was over but then there it was again...I would wake up "sweating to death" and all day "I'm cold, no now I'm hot" all day sweater on, sweater off and it did drive me in sane but this Estroven has helped a lotAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876733208616943706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-34943256229572340392012-05-31T20:15:47.240-07:002012-05-31T20:15:47.240-07:00None of that for me yet, hopefully not for a while...None of that for me yet, hopefully not for a while.

My mom is 63 and still has hot flashes ... ugh. I need quiet when I sleep. I often use ear plugs because any noise will bother me. Those owls would be killing me. I can't watch scary movies - I saw the Exorcist when I was a young teen and it affected me for the longest time ... no more for me :)Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175845313649815295noreply@blogger.com
