50 and older

cjrinaldi

Hello, My name is Chris. I will be 60 soon. I have had a struggle with my mid section for a long time, since I turned 45. I'm sure most 50 & 60 year old's know what I am talking about. I woke up one day and yikes where did that come from. Very hard area to get rid of. I walk miles and try to pick hilly roads and I swim at our indoor community pool. I am not saying I exercise everyday but at least 3 times a week, I know, I know I should exercise 5 or 6 times a week. I lose weight but veeeerrry slllloowly and if I mess up just for a week it seems to come right back. But I do watch my caloric intake and try real hard to stay with in my calorie allowance. I am not a salt snack eater maybe popcorn sometimes. I would love to hear from some menopausal women who have the same problem and if you have any tips or ideas for me.

Thanks so much!
