Post Menopause Women - Before and Afters

I agree - she has to want it. I am 54, post menopause for about three years. I lost 46 pounds last year and am now the same size I was in High School. I did it with a 180 on eating lifestyle and getting more active. I am working on maintaining the same lifestyle and putting more exercise in my life.

If she wants a great book to read - and it did change my life - get her "The Menopause Makeover"... I wished this book had been around when I started really packing on the weight in my mid 40s!

Hi, I'm 55 y.o. 5' 4.5" ( became an official post menopausal member 5 months ago) - have lost 53 lbs since September 2012 by cutting out some junk "comfort" foods, watching portion sizes, and upping my exercise level. I will be running my first 5k in late April. I am now 127 lbs. and am enjoying the increased energy level I have, a much improved blood pressure, and the renewed fun I have in shopping for clothes!
Wishing your mom the best! It is great that you are encouraging her this way.

I just started this at the end of December 2012...and I've lost 17 pounds so far (with lots to go, but I'm confident I can get there!). I have some medical issues that make it difficult to exercise (the same medical issues which are the motivation for me to lose weight), so most of this weight has come off simply by watching what I eat.

As someone else said above, the "secret" is retraining your eating habits and finding the motivation to want to change.
