I'm back again...

Hi all. Haven't written in a long time, but I have been meeting my goal every single day! I am at 643 days of workouts in a row!! And I will make 2 solid years of walking/working out every single day, rain or shine, holidays or not on July 10 this year 2011. My heart is healthier than it was, but the pounds were still not coming off. After the first 25 were gone, the following year (last year), I started menopause! Ugh! 9 lbs. came back on!! Now a year later, I have taken those 9 off and I'm ready to begin my next and last 25 lbs. lost!! I will not give up. I am quite determined! Anyone out there struggling too? Especially with the onset of menopause? (I know I might need to balance my hormones, but since my mother died of breast cancer, I am too afraid to do that).
