Ladies that are in this area of life...Do you find it harder to lose weight? I have heard before that it suppose to be harder to lose weight, when you are going through menopause or peri-menopause...I am 46 and a half....but what a bitch trying to lose weight!!!!! It never use to be!!!!!! I do aerobics, I walk too, and I do light weights...I stick religiously to this diet!!!! Its really slow going for me!!!! I do have a slow thyroid problem now...but Doc says its in an ok range, I think he said 0.6 the low end? It must be ok, because I would not want to excersise if it wasnt ok. I have not reached menopause yet, but have TOM every 3 weeks/so must be pre-menstrual alot!!!!! I seem to retain water very easy now too!!!!!! lose 4 gain 4...stay same What else can I do....Im doin all the things your suppose to do!!!!!! I have been on this diet since March...only blown it 2 times and right back on....
