Hi guys, just letting of steam! It gets right on my nerves when experts tell us our weight gain is less to do with the menopause and more to do with age/sedentary lifestyle etc. I started meno early and an 46 - having only 2-3 periods a year now. I have piled on 2 stone doing nothing different - if anything I am doing more exercise etc. My friends who are not yet menopausal, while some are slowly gaining, have not experienced this sudden weight gain whatsoever! Alongside all my other symptoms, I know my body, I've always been slim and this sudden gain is not just age or inactivity !!!

I clearly put on weight due to Menopause. I am 60 pounds heavier (I guess that's about 4 stone). All my friends and family have also gained. We still swim, walk, and exercise the same amount we always have. We also eat what we always ate. I completely believe it's due to menopause.

Do you feel bloated too? I try to stick to low carb but still feel (and look!) bloated continuously 😢

I feel bloated occassionally, but not always. It's awful though, feeling like you have no control over the weight.
