[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aparently then, most women are not disciplined enough to adjust their caloric intact to avoid this weight gain.
Yet I am constantly seeing plenty of women who do care about staying active and eating right and remain thin.
Sorry but 30 or 40 pounds is just not sexy. It shows laziness and is completely unattractive.[/quote]

Then they probably haven't been through menopause.

Take a look at the 60 year old plus women out there. They are either a bit heavy -- or they look even older than their years. [/quote]

I did not realize how futile it is for a 60yo woman to control her weight. No wonder I see so few exercising, that would be a complete waste of time given your medical update regarding menopause.
Thank you for the heads up.
I'll be sure to stay trim and fit so that, at age 60, I can easily trade in my post menopause overweight wife for a slim 40yo.

All too often the "change of life" results in unwelcome changes in the number on the bathroom scale. Many women find that no matter how sensible their diet or how frequently they exercise, they still start packing on the pounds once menopause begins.

[b]This problem is primarily driven by estrogen loss that occurs during menopause. E[/b]strogen loss causes a number of health issues, one of which is deterioration of muscle mass. Because muscle burns more calories than fat, less muscle also means fewer calories burned, all of which adds up to a recipe for a [b]slower metabolism.[/b]

Speaking with CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook, Dr. Lori Warren, a gynecologist and a partner with Women First of Louisville, said weight gain is one of the top complaints among her patients.

"As a gynecologist one of the biggest things I'm asked is, 'What is going on with this weight gain as I'm aging and going through menopause,'" she said. "And it kind of creeps up on women and all of the sudden they're angry about it when they come in for an annual visit and they've gained 10 pounds and they say, 'Why didn't anyone tell me that I might gain weight?'"
