    I too am fighting this terrible chapter. I try to what my calories and exercise, but still feel that no matter what the weight wants to attack my body. I blame a slower metabolism. I will continue to fight a good fight. I refuse to look my age.

    I am 53 and exactly in your place, having been thin my whole life and now am struggling with a 10 lb weight gain which I can't seem to keep off.

    You can join any number of groups here related to menopause and age.

    Good luck!

    Me too, I am 51 and really struggling with the menopause. I have dreadful sweating and headaches off and on and fatigue. Plus sugar cravings... Finding it very hard to follow any sort of calorie counting

    Yes! I'll be 52 May 3rd...and still having a cycle every two months. Add hypothyroidism to the mix on top of knee and back injuries and staying focused. I've gained 48lbs within three years. The struggle is real.... Giving this low carb thing a try. Good luck ladies!

    Check out quantum nutrition lab online. I never had the sweats or headaches and I am done. I gained weight due to stress and poor eating for sure. I was going through all of it at the same time, so not sure what if any menopause helped in my weight gain. I hear that there is a definite gain expected of 10 lbs. Maybe this site can help??
