Be Balanced Hormonal Weight Loss (BBHWL) center there it is again. After several weeks of passing by it when I am working in PA and DE, I decided to look it up and see what it is all about. The first item on the website is "Don't let Menopause debilitate you"; "well, maybe this is something", I think to myself.

I hate the entire gym experience ( Read more... )

I am so sorry...that would be absolutely infuriating. I really hope you work something out. Personally, I've considered just walking - outside, after dark, so no one can see me. I weigh...well, more than 230. I have measured a 3 mile route around my neighborhood, but I am so self-conscious that I feel like people are staring at me through their windows, wondering why I even bother. I know it's all in my head, but it's a little daunting sometimes.

I live really close to the local HS and I have walked the track before but most days I just can not motivate myself to do it. My FT job is really physical so I usually come home from work really tired anyway. My PT job is a desk job with the occasional having to help the vet tech to lift a large sedated dog into the recovery area. I feel like I get enough exercise most weeks then there is house cleaning too.

Awesome. I'm glad you have the option, then.

Ouch! Frustrating and expensive!

It seems as if this program simply will not work with a vegan diet, so it's a poor match for you.

OTOH, veganism doesn't seem to be a great match for your body (I think this is true for many people as well). It's very hard to get sufficient lean protein on a vegan diet. But if you're keeping to it for philosophical reasons, you're kind of stuck.

I have been vegetarian for just about 35 years and a little over a year ago, I was having health issues that turned out to be allergies to diary. I am feeling much better since I stopped eating dairy too. Since I started peri-menopause, i have gained lots of weight and i just can't lose it no matter what I do.

How disappointing! They clearly have no idea what they're doing.

I was just hoping that it truly was a "fix" for menopause issues but seems it is just another diet program geared towards your average american that eats lots of fast-junk-food.

Sounds like it!
