How can I take off my post-menopause weight gain?
pretty but plump asked:
I’ve been dieting my whole life and know most of the traditional diet tips. My eating habits are not always the greatest – I nosh “healthy” foods between meals (boredom, emotions) in addition to 3 low fat low carb meals. I count calories and do 1200 on a good day, 1600 on an off day. I exercise fairly regularly 3x weekly walking 1 hour, 2x Pilates and 1x exercise class with weights. I feel good but haven’t been able to take off the middle age “tires”. Last year I managed to take off 10 pounds, but seem to have put them back on again. I feel discouraged and don’t like the way I loook in clothes now. Any ideas?

Sounds like there is more to the story. Get to a doctor and check it out. You need to speed up your metabolism. When do you excercise? Best time before breakfast. If it is not that perhaps {and I mean this respectfully} you are lieing to yourself how much food you eat. good luck

Try to eat 100 less calories per day. and increase your excercise from 3 times to four times a week. You will see result in couple of months
best

I can empathize! I’m of ‘that age’ myself and am having a horrible time! I lost 50 lbs. when I was 51/52 and have now regained 15! I mentioned this to my doctor and he said “I hear those complaints twice a week.” He said “Keep active, watch the junk food, don’t eat after dinner.” I don’t seem to have the will power of a few years ago so I blame myself.
) However I’m thankful that I lost weight a few years ago or now I’d be 65 lbs. overweight instead of only 15! You didn’t say how much you should lose but if it’s less than 20 lbs., and you’re healthy and active, don’t worry about it. If it’s more, then you could be looking at health problems. If you can afford to, go to Weight Watchers and/or Curves. I’m sending you luck……
