[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing.  It is hormones.  [b]All women get thicker in the waist with menopause- even if you don’t gain a simple ounce.[/b]  Fat/muscle distribution and proportions change with age [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Yes!!! To all of this. I’m sick of the “just wait…it’ll happen to you too” my mother does this as well. Lifting/strength is so good for us as well. I appreciate this positive post. [/quote]

No one is being negative or saying you are going to get fat. Calm down.  But yes your shape does change as you age.  Trying to say you can maintain the exact figure of your 20something self if you work hard enough is a lie.

My mother has always had a beautiful figure, tall and slim, exercise regularly.  Pretty much the body of Jane Fonda. She is in late 60s now and still in great shape; lifts and teaches fitness classes.  But her figure is different.  She likely weighs the same or close.  But she is thinner in some areas and thicker in other areas - than she was in her younger years.  This doesn’t mean you are going to get a beer gut, but yes you will be at best, slightly thicker/softer in the middle after menopause.  [/quote]
