In 2013, I regained a few pounds. Then started gaining a few pounds a year since then. I thought I was putting on muscle since my clothes all fit well. Hah! I weighed 168 in August 2018. Now I weigh 198. (Well, I stopped checking a few months ago, so it's likely even higher now.) So there's that... |

I'm 57, just under 5'7", and I'm hovering around 200 lbs. I never had a flat stomach, but it's a bummer having a menopot. Strangely, my clothes still fit me, with a few exceptions, so I'm trying not to fret too much. It's like I'm a Polish sausage...more is getting stuffed into my casing. (That makes me laugh because my ethnic background is mostly Polish. ) And my health is otherwise good...good BP, resting pulse, etc. I weighed 145 in 8th grade, so I knew I was not going to grow up to be a thin person, but I HATE weighing this much. Since my periods stopped artificially because I had an endometrial ablation, I don't know if I've reached menopause or not. But I want to know because everyone says once you reach it some weight will start coming off. I'm not willing to eat like a bird for the rest of my life. I guess I just need to keep doing the good stuff that I'm doing and not worry too much. This post is really long...if you're still reading, thank you. I just wanted to express my ongoing personal frustration and let you know that I'm more or less in the same boat with you.

I'm sorry you're also struggling with the weight gain. I'm only 5'4" so any amount of weight gain looks like double on me since I literally have no torso or waist. It's now just big heavy boobs and a huge menopot. I wish I was 5'7"! |

A bit off topic. A few years ago AARP sent us a brochure saying how we could save a ton on health insurance if we went to their plan. I filled out the 200 page application with every ailment I'd ever had since I was 5.
We were refused. The reason stated on the refusal? "Menopause." What the......????
