[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Midlife fat isn’t magical.  I’ve heard that excuse from so many of my clients.  It’s fat.  It will go away if you change the way you eat and the way you move.  I’m 55. I’m the same weight I was at 16. The only time I gained was during pregnancy.  I have had to change the way I eat as I’ve aged.  People who stay fit and healthy through middle age and beyond are typically health conscious and not fooled by ridiculous fad dieting. [/quote]

Naah, while maintaining weight throughout makes sense, that  doesn't really happen.  Menopause kills it. You aren't fully through it. [/quote]

Post menopausal 3 yrs now. Try again.[/quote]

Not buying it. And you were menopausal at 52. I was menopausal at 56. That's when it all happened...at 60. Come  back here in a year or 2 and we will chat. No one,  I mean no one, escapes this unless one works out hours a day. Not sustainable. Btw, if you have clients,  and you say those things  you  have and/or will lose a lot of credibility.  Everyone will  know you live in an orbit that isn't real world.  Shaming doesn't work.

Np. I’m a few years past menopause and have lost 25 lbs in the past year without working out hours a day. It’s ridiculous to say that weight gain is a foregone conclusion post menopause. There’s nothing magical that happens to everyone 4 years in that causes them to pack on pounds. Metabolism slows as we age, but it’s possible to tweak diet and exercise to counteract the weight gain.[/quote]
