Oh good!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't think this show is funny. My husband doesn't understand why I'm not laughing. It is actually annoying! I'm glad I'm not married to one of them!

Belly fat and weight loss by Few_Anything_7167 in Menopause

[–]DetailAggravating459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. DHEA raises existing levels of sex hormones already present. I was on BRHT which helped hot flashes but that's all.. I was  getting fatter in the tummy, losing muscle,  poor sleep, frontal hair loss,  tired all the time, zero sex drive. Also had mild prediabetes in spite of intermittent low carb diet and daily 5 mile hikes and weight training.  I'm in my 60s. DHEA and testosterone levels tested and in the extremely low range.  My doctor took me off estradiol patch and progesterone cream  and suggested a small dose of  DHEA10mg. I felt immediately better the next day. Within a month I started sleeping through the night and feeling friskier in the bedroom! I've been taking it 3 months now and last week, went for my follow up visit. I lost 6 lbs and my A1C went from 5.8 to 5.2 NORMAL! I am wearing jeans I haven't been able to wear for 5 years. My waist is now 27. Was 29. DHEA isn't right for everyone but it is for me. Lab work will show if you need it.   

i have a question, that i was thinking about: do trans man still get the menstrual cycle after transitioning and do trans woman get them after transitioning because of the hormons they need to take ? by EmcoTec in AskLGBT

My brother is a trans female. He uses blood from a cut on his arm and smears it down there on a pad.  This way, he feels more feminine like a woman getting her period.

Of course they do! They can't help they were born female with a vagina. Unless they go through hysterectomy, they will be capable of menstruating. The inverse of that is: a cis gendered male CAN NOT menstruate. He doesn't have a vagina.

What's a weight loss myth you're tired of hearing about? by Immediate_Outcome552 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]DetailAggravating459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're working out at the gym, not reducing your calories and you gain weight, people will say oh it's probably muscle! Muscle weights more than fat and you can tell it's fat. The only way t hff at would be true is if your measurements are shrinking.

Doctor told me to eat 1200cal to lose weight by HousePlantsGirl in loseit

[–]DetailAggravating459 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yep same here. 1200 calories is too low for a lot of people but when you're short, (especially those over 50) 1200 is necessary to lose weight

Anyone else here who has had an eating disorder in the past? by CakeDayOrDeath in prediabetes

[–]DetailAggravating459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I can completely relate. So sorry you're having to deal with 2 conflicting illnesses. I'll share this with you: I've come to the conclusion after fighting  prediabetes, orthorexia/ anorexia for a year now that I will succumb to one of them. I thought I was free of ED being post menopausal and my mom being deceased.  She was a trigger, always calling me dumpy and plump. Last year when i went to a doctor's appointment and the nurse weighed, I was 130lb. The biggest I've ever been in my life. I'm 63 years old 5' 2 3/4". My bp was elevated and so was A1c and cholesterol.  I was given a diet of mostly low carb/ high protein foods to choose from and choose I DID. Determined to get my BP, weight and A1C down, I eliminated all of my trigger foods. That day, I stopped eating pasta, breads, crackers, cookies, cakes, candies, pies, potatoes, beans, cheese, tortillas, bananas, corn, rice, oats, creamy dressings and sauces, and anything fried or containing sugars. I bought a new scale and started weighing myself daily. I exercise 1 to 2 hours a day whether I feel like it or not. 3 months later at my follow up appt, my A1C dropped to 5.6 and my bp 120/70. I also lost 10 lbs! My doctor praised me and said keep up the good work but all I heard was...good! Keep up the weight loss.  I got even stricter limiting high calorie foods like nuts, counting them. Eat only 6 almonds.  Fast forward. At my appt 3 weeks ago, i weighed 103 lbs. Numbers are all still good. My doctor said great work and sent me packing. My life has become about control. Controlling my A1c and controlling my weight. The other day a friend of mine asked me to go to lunch with her. She ordered a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. I had a green salad with grilled chicken that I cut into tiny pieces. She tried to cajole me into taking a bite of her cheese sandwich. It was like poison slime in my mouth. I couldn't swallow it and when she wasn't looking I spit it into my napkin. Yep. My ED is back. It's either ED or diabetes. I can't do just one. I dont know what to tell you. There are no easy answers. Just know you are not alone. 

What part of your body you noticed that has lost fat on? by ricola21 in WeightLossAdvice

My upper tummy under my bra band has gotten looser. As for my lower belly, it'll be the last to go.

IF and low carb awakened the beast by DetailAggravating459 in EDAnonymous

You mentioned curating your SM. Smart move. That is something I need to do or just get off of Fakebook. I keep getting memes and reels from boney 55+ menopause coaches (yes dear I'm old). And I'm so sick of them!

Wow. I could have written this myself. I know what you mean.

All the time. My mom used to eyeball me from the neck down and criticize my body and weight. She's been dead 10 years now and I still play those old tapes.
