[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this happen to everyone or just some people? And is it independent of activity?

I’m 42 and I didn’t know this was around the corner :-( [/quote]

I am also 42. It is not independent of activity. Make sure you lift weights and stay generally active (walks, hikes, doing errands on foot etc) and you will be fine. I maintain at about 2400 calories. [/quote]

Maybe at 42.  Maybe not at 45+.  [/quote]

Or maybe not ever.  Some of us can eat what we want and not gain.  Every body is different.  [/quote]

It happens to most women but not all women.  For most women it happens sometime between 40 and 60.  If you’re past 60 and it hasn’t hit you, you’re probably one of the lucky few.  I think for most people it hits between 45 and 55.  I posted above that I was super thin all my life and thought I would be one of the few that didn’t have this change but it’s definitely a big part of “the change” for me.  I think it is true that having a higher muscle proportion does provide some protection.  We all debate whether HRT makes a difference, and there doesn’t seem to be a clear consensus.  [/quote]
