Just joined.
Weight has increased since menopause. Feeling unhappy with body image. Do a fair bit of exercise, running (training for 1/2 marathon) and Hiit classes but weight not shifting as eating and drinking habits are all wrong I have to reluctantly acknowledge.
Hoping that the community aspect will keep me motivated.
I have about a stone to loose.
Tomorrow is New Years Day so....
Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum Plum60
Unfortunately our bodies do change with age, you are not alone in struggling with the menopause. Have a look at this for a detailed explanation and possible solution healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Hi, Plum60 , welcome.
If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism. Cutting down on alcohol and (refined) carbs should make a difference.
Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
Hi Plum60. I am in a similar position - I think I'm starting menopause and also run and do hiit but without weightloss success. I feel relatively fit but know that I am becoming heavier. I saw your post and wondered how you were getting on, now that you've been at it for a couple of months? best wishes, cx
Thank you StillConcerned. That's really interesting. I think I do need to make the changes you suggest. Thanks for the link too.cx
