Prior to perimenopause I could basically go on a diet and lose 20 to 25 pounds in a month. Since peri and now I guess the full blown menopause, I eat 1500 sometimes 1400 calories a day and work out 4-5 days and guess what NO weight loss, I have not gained which is a good thing, but I have been trying to lose 30-35 pounds and honestly its easier to wrestle a grizzly bear than to lose 5 pounds. I am wondering if any of you are dealing with this issue too and what have you found that has helped? Thanks any comments or advice is appreciated. By the way, I love this board, no one else in my life understands.

    I had a similar problem. I used to watch my calories and not lose even a single pound after hours of cardio. Then I looked around on some forums and found fat free rice and noodles that are yummy and seem totally healthy. I have started to see some weight lose over the last month - but let's just wait and see!
