Hi Sherri
I'm 53 and perimenopausal so my doctor says, I may or may not get another period, haven't since February and I can't say I mind too much, 40 years of it is plenty for me.
She asked me if I had hot flashes and I answered only when I go shopping, honest to goodness I go to a store and I immediately get all hot and sweaty, she said, no that isn't a hot flash, maybe I'm just allergic to shopping, it isn't one of my favouritist things to do, if it were up to me I'd do my grocery shopping online and have it delivered.
I'm also on meds for high BP, a diuretic and potassium, also an anti-infammatory med for the osteo-arthritis in my knees. These are all meds that have been reported to stall weight loss.
So far the only stalls I've suffered have been because of buying deli meats and having them for lunch every day and the Advantage bars, I stopped using both and dropped several pounds rather quickly.
I figure the reason I'm losing so rapidly is because I have so much to lose, which is a good incentive to stick to this WOE without knowingly "cheating". I wouldn't be good at allowing myself cheat days, they'd likely turn into cheat months so I just don't go there.
Hope it turns around for you soon, that you start dropping lots of lllllbbbb's, it's really encouraging watching the downward trend on the scales instead of the alternative.
Take care
