I'm 52, post-menopausal (surgical), and have thyroid issues. The trifecta!

I've been doing Weight Watchers for about 14 months, and have lost 37 pounds. I've got another 18 to lose. It comes off verrrry slowly, but it's coming off with diligence and sacrifice. Lots of exercise, vegan food, and journaling. I do think that I'm learning good eating habits in WW, especially now that they're focusing on whole foods; I don't eat the 100 calorie snacks or the WW frankenfood. For me it boils down to portion control.

But it's a battle I'll fight for the rest of my life. I'm under no delusions that once I reach my goal weight that it will be easy to maintain.
