Ferdie Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I having been trying everything these last few months to lose some weight. I started perimenopause this year and am shocked at how much my metabolism has slowed, and at how fast I have gained weight. Ugh! Even my old faithful diets have resulted in no weight reduction. I started using Sparkpeople a few days ago. What a difference logging my food has made. I didn't realize how many calories I consumed during afternoon snacking. I also have been working out with a buddy three times a week which I figured was enough. Sparkspeople has encouraged me to get active the other days of the week. I started walking and playing the Wii Fit on my days "off" and am surpised that the extra effort burns an additional 1,000 calories a week. Thanks you guys! I think I am going to make it back into my summer clothes after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdie Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks, Pamela! I just wish I had started this sooner so I didn't gain this extra weight. I really don't have any summer clothes that fit and it is starting to get hot in Texas. So I am very motivated. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherZee Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm loving SparkPeople too. I love being able to plan my food. But like you I had a real eye opener regarding how much I have been eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
