[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'5" and I weigh 162 lbs. Ugh. I weighed 128 until I had kids, and by kid #4 I hit 145. I thought that was horrible, but then I hit menopause and gained 15 lbs!! Just after I hit menopause, I also hurt my foot and can't walk the 3 miles I used to every day or two.

I've always eaten a healthy diet, but I used to eat sugar every day on top of my lean protein, organic fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds. I've cut out the sugar and most grains, yet still I'm stuck at 162.

I hear about how exercise can't help you lose weight, yet I can't believe that stopping my exercising didn't contribute to my gaining 15 pounds post menopause.

Don't have the energy to do extreme cardio now. I need an exercise that won't exacerbate my foot injury. Someone suggested rowing, but I'm thinking that's just too hard! Walking was perfect for me, but I can't walk more than a mile now, and after that I'm in pain. I guess I'm stuck with this fat? Blech. [/quote]

Lift heavy weight if you can but take up swimming.[/quote]
