Menopause and weight gain

fortywhatever · 04-22-2007, 09:34 PM

I'm looking for hints, advice and helpful tips from those who are mid 40ish or so and are starting to enter menopause. I have noticed a little weight gain around my belly. It is funny cause it seemed sudden like, and I still try and eat right and exercise.

Tell me what works for you!

My mom has menopause and weight gain, she just works out more and eats better So that maintains her weight.

I have noticed the same thing too. Unfortunately at our age it is A LOT harder to get weight off than it was when we were younger. I have recently lost 35 pounds but it took me amost a year to do it! If I ate the way I am now and exercised the way I am now when I was in my 20's and 30's I would have weighed 90 pounds!

Lots of exercise was the answer for me. I'm not sure I want to see what I will have to do in my 50's. : )
