[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You likely are experiencing what it means to[b] lose muscle mass and see it turned to fat[/b]. This is why we have to lift heavy in our younger years! This is a known facet of menopause and aging. [/quote] That's it right there OP. Muscle weighs more than fat and so you can lose muscle and gain fat (in your tummy) and not notice a change in weight right away. As your muscle atrophies to whatever your new normal is and plateaus at that level, you'll see the number of the scale go up because your metabolism is slowing down. The way to counteract this is to build more muscle. [/quote]
