Grrrrr...Any menopausal weight loss advice?

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.

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.
