Not OP but this attitude kind of pisses me off. I’m similar and mid-40s. Please stop the “doable with small changes” while giving all the sympathy to those who are obese. Nope. Working my ass off to stay 10-15 lbs over and the weight doesn’t budge once you are peri or menopausal.
Excuses. Eat less, no carbs, no sugar, move more. Works if you’re 20 or 70.
um, new poster. Have you been perimenopausal or menopausal? Every year I eat less and yet gain weight. It's a wild battle.
Right now I'm eating 1200 calories per day (age 50) and gaining weight month-over-month.
I track the calories. I barely eat. I still gain.
Some women don't have this problem as they age--they have the build where they get thin and almost scrawny at over 50.
Others of us are fighting this battle daily. I was never a super thin build--a size 6/8 at 5'6", sturdy, athletic build.
Perimenopause has not been kind to me.
I recently had a GI illness and had a minimal calorie intake for about a week (not by choice). Didn't lose a pound. Started eating again (1200 calories a day) and immediately started gaining. It's something and it's incredible how different my metabolism was even a year or two ago.
Sounds like you have insulin resistance.

I’m probably about 7-10 lbs from where I want to be and I don’t think it’s really possible unless I’ve very restrictive. Would it make sense to go on ozempic for a few months?
