    I'm 51, post-menopausal and have lost 136 pounds in the last 8 1/2 months. I'm 9 pounds from my goal weight. Cut your carbs and up your protein.

    Great advice! Trying to get at least 10k steps daily, treadmill, weights x3 days week and yoga at least once. Have slacked off need to get back on track. Any advice on weights, reps etc?

    I will be 51 in early November. I am peri-menopausal. I have always had issues with hormone imbalance. I packed on the weight. Things finally started shifting for me in June. I have lost 31 pounds. Have another 20 something to go.
    Here is what helped:
    Hired a trainer that I see every month when she gives me a new lift plan.
    Lifting heavy and hard three days a week.
    Get in 250 to 300 minutes of cardio a week in my zone.
    Track everything I eat, before I eat it. MFP has been such a blessing because it makes it so easy to track calories and macros.
    No soda and lots of water.
    Eat as clean as possible. Once I got over the sugar and bread addiction, cravings stopped.

    My husband and daughter and gym goers have been so positive, so develop a good support system. Doesn’t have to be tons of people, just a few.

    Find your “why”.
