[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP- I’m 56–but next month will finally be 1 year without a period.

What both my sister and I found (and many friends) was that year right before periods stop for good was when it felt like weight just kept easily packing on—but once things settled weight gain stopped and we were able to lose most of that weight again-neither with glps or HRT.

I never took HRT because I never had hot flashes or awful symptoms. My sister and two best friends were similar.

It will seem like you are on the bullet train to fatsville—but then things settle. My energy and mood also were so much improved once transition was over. I’m so much calmer now. That lower cortisol is probably part of it…and hormones like the Pill always had me bloated. I never get bloated anymore which is great. I certainly don’t want those hormonal symptoms back, [/quote]

Thank you-- this gives me hope.  I feel like I am in that phase of 1 glass of wine or 3 chips gives me a belly that I could usually pretty easily lose by working out.  I am 48, if that matters.[/quote]
