2Weeks....

[CharMurr]

My weight is not moving. I can't help but feel as though it has something to do with hormones. I'm 53 and have never had weight issues till now. I mean fast weigh. Like 5, 6lbs in the last 2 months. Anyone having to do deal with age related weight gain?

I’m 47 and in menopause. I too find that it has become increasingly difficult to maintain my weight, but not impossible. Getting enough sleep, movement (general movement and strength exercises) and eating more protein than I used to, seems to help me though. Drinking less alcohol is something I haven’t gotten around to yet, but I’m thinking it could be my key...

Perhaps try to track your food intake on MyFitnessPal or something for a week or two to see if you are in fact consuming more calories than you should.

If you can’t find a reason and put a stop to it, I think you should seek medical advice.

Hello again and welcome CharMurr 😊

I hope you’ve had time to read all the Welcome information Moreless gave given when you first joined us on the Easter Challenge last week. Did you check your calorie target on the NHS BMI checker? Have you been managing to count calories? This can be tricky at first but it gets easier with practice 😊

Menopause can affect other hormones such as our insulin and hunger hormones, so what we eat is also important. Please have a read of this post healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
