nope! I have never experienced this. Stop with the bleak, negative, doomsday talk that woman on here continue to spread which basically makes us all throw in the towel and eventually end up on Ozempic! I started on HRT the day I was 1 year without my period. I also continued with my already healthy lifestyle of daily workouts and low carb eating. I'm wearing the same exact size today as I did pre-meno and in some cases - smaller. My waist and hip circumference has decreased - I give credit to weight lifting. Women need to lift weights - heavy weights.

How about giving credit to HRT?

Do you take HRT? Are you menopausal?

The NY Times had an article about menopause belly on their site today. It’s not made up or unique to America. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/11/well/move/belly-fat-women.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
