Hi Ya! so on the topic of HORMONES...who here is like me and 40+ thinking an alien has invaded my brain several days a month??
Hi everyone!
I'm not sure I qualify to be a member, but am having horrible hormone problems.
Entering early peri-menopause caused quite a few unpleasant side effects. Initially, my gynecologist put me on a patch, which lasted 2 weeks.I got an incredibly dry mouth. Not positive the patch caused it (rose-colored glasses) I decided to experiment. Good golly, Miss Molly- quitting gave me a sinus infection (which I had never experienced before.) "Could it be coincidence?" I thought. The hot flashes and night sweats enticed me to try the patch again. Same thing- extreme dry mouth, then a major sinus infection upon quitting.
I'd looked into Bio-Identical Hormones, but my gyno said studies show the same effects as hormone replacement. Also, they are very expensive. My mother ( a breast cancer survivor) never had any symptoms during this time in her life, and I always assumed I'd be the same.
I am very interested in any advice.
Thanks so much!

Beginning my "Buffing" phase today. Buffing starts for me on cycle day 5 and goes 2 weeks until cycle day 19. It's the time of the month when I have the most focus, cravings are under control and my workouts are intense. The goal during the buffing phase is to lean up, diet hard and see the scale go down.

On November 11th I will be hosting my first game "BuffMother's Hot Holidays" here on www.DietBet.com; I've been asked to be a "celebrity" host...a very cool honor!
Be sure to check it out, it's a great concept to PUT your MONEY where your Mouth is, You basically BET $30 that you can lose 4% of your body weight in 28 days and then follow along with the game striving to attain your goal. If you do lose the weight you get your money back, plus possibly more because all the winners SHARE the pot... and that works for extra motivation!!
