    I'm 40 and perimenopausal, and it's really hard. The scale still hasn't moved at ALL, but I've lost 5 inches in my waist and 5.5 inches on my hips. I'm working with a trainer but I really need to get my eating under control.

    Thought I'd post an update as I'm past my original target and on to a new (lower) one. So it's not impossible to lose weight even at this time of life: if I can do it after around 30 years of trying, then it's do-able, even if it isn't easy.
    I feel better than I have done in ages, and am planning on running two race for life in July after finishing the NHS C25K programme. I hadn't done any running since I left school, and am (very surprisingly) quite enjoying the activity, even though I only did it under duress to start with!

    Hi everyone,
    I'm 47 and definitely in the perimenopause. Did the Insanity workout twice last year and logged everything on MFP through the entire journey. I didn't see huge amounts of weight loss, only 3 pounds in the end and now if anything I seem to be gaining inches and pounds by the day and I'm really depressed by it all and I have absolutely no clue as to whats happening in the stomach area, I look like I'm 4 months pregnant.
    I workout about 5 times a week at a moderate to high intensity. I either run, do hip hop abs or go to the gym for about 1 hour each session.
    Would love to hear any advice which might help to get this weight off and keep me motivated.
    Am a very depressed, needing support and motivation lady :-(
