Weightloss

Hi Ladies -
Just wondering if any of you have experienced weight loss during perimenopause. I over the last year gained about 8 lbs but have noticed over the last month or so I have lost it (without trying). I am an extremely anxious person and its usually very hard for me to gain weight so was surprised when I gained 8 pounds in 6 months (I am thin and only weighted 118 and now back to 118). Not sure if it is something to worry about (God knows I don't need anything else to give me reason to worry). My anxiety has been very bad these last few days and now that I have weighed myself it's giving me major anxiety.
Thanks for any response you can provide. I swear this stage is going to drive me insane.

Hi Joann,
There is currently a discussion going on about weight loss right now, it began with HopefulTrina.
There is a good amount of feedback including my own as well. I'm sure you can find it in the forum.
Try to relax.
Here for you,XO

I'll look at the other thread... But I used to be hungry all the time especially before my period. BUT these last 6 months I'm more anxious therefor I don't feel hungry.In my case it's ok.. I was really worried about losing the extra pounds, now this anxiety helping a little.

Hi Joann, I have been loosing weight too and (experienced this before). I am also going to hormonal doc. and noticed when I have too much estrogen and would be loosing weight and when I reduce the estrogen I stop loosing weight. I did not know this this i noticed the pattern now. I hope this helps. All the best!

Hi Jola-
Thank you for the reply! It does help so much! Most posts are about weight gain which i did gain 8 lbs over the last year ans now done 4 without any lifestyle changes. So frustrating having severe health anxiety! I have a wonderful trip to celebrate my beat friends birthday coming up and just want to feel good and quit worrying so i can enjoy it! This last week has been brutal with constant anxiety. Please say i pray if you pray that i can get this in check! Thanks again for responding! This forum is amazing with all the support to know we are not alone! xoxo
