Loads of woman say they gain weight or find it hard to lose weight 40s onwards . Our metabolism must slow down .
I don't tend to go too long between meal, because my kids are always starving. I'm keeping an eye on my portion sizes too.

I scanned through this thread and couldn't find anything about my symptoms. I'm 47, and the last few months I am smelly. It is really getting me paranoid. Not every day, But usually after lunch, I noticed that there is a smell of me. I started taking sage tablets and they helped at the beginning, But not now.
I had that. I smelt really bad, I wasn’t unclean but I just had a bad odour which made me really paranoid, especially as I was overweight aswell.
It wasn’t every day, more at certain times of the month so must have been down to hormones.
I don’t have it anymore, have since lost a LOT of weight and sorted out my diet
It could be hormonal and I’ve also seen some things on those TV Doctor shows where people have conditions where certain foods exacerbate a body odour but you could try washing your body in acnecide. I’ve seen it recommended by some dermatologists as a good way of killing body bacteria that worsen body odour. I’m not implying you’re not clean, just that it’s worth trying everything. Hope it clears up.
I noticed a few years ago that one armpit was more BO than the other after a long day. I switched to using pears green soap which is now my favourite or other soaps for pits and other regions, then pit rock deodorant spray. I gave up on 0% alum anti perspirant sprays years ago which were not all that effective. Now I’m not smelly unless it’s more than 24 h between showers and it’s been hot. even then it’s not terrible. Sometimes simplest is the best, soap kills germs and bacteria, not all shower gels do and all the highly marketed deodorants are sometimes all hype.
Is anyone really struggling with their weight? I can’t manage to shift even a pound, my job is very active, I got walking about 2/3 times a week, I’ve even cut my alcohol intake down & not losing anything 
I feel large & bloated all the time, and apart from starving myself I can’t think of anything else to do

I walk a 2.2 mile round trip each morning to school and back, involving big hill. I’m about the fattest I’ve ever been. I’m always heavy as I’m pretty muscly but I’m in bigger clothes than I used to be and don’t feel great. I don’t do diets as focusing on food just makes me eat more but my diet isn’t bad, so i guess a lot of it is hormonal.Is anyone really struggling with their weight?

are you taking any vitamin d? It can affect your thyroid function to be deficient. Digestive enzymes can help with the bloating maybe.
Yes I’ve been taking vitamin d for ages. I didn’t know that it can affect your thyroid, although I got bloods done about March/April and everything was fine. I’ll give the digestive enzymes a try see if that helps. Thanks
Yep! It’s so frustrating. I am trying so hard but barely lose anything. I will say though since I’ve gone on yet another diet my bloating isn’t as bad as that was really getting me down as I looked 9 months pregnant. But I’m so disappointed with how slow the weight is coming off and then I lose motivation.Is anyone really struggling with their weight?

It's tougher than ever. But basically, as we get older, our metabolism slows down, we need fewer calories. If there is a diet that always served you well in the past, if doesn't mean it will work today.Is anyone really struggling with their weight?

Walking is great for you, but they do say that "abs are made in the kitchen". Think about it: a 5k run only burns around 300 calories. The best way to lose weight is to actively seek a calorie deficit. I use MyFitnessPal and track everything. And so you know (read it and weep) when I want to lose weight, I need to consume 1200 calories a day. And I am extremely active: In the mornings, I run 3 times a week, and I strength train the other four. Plus I have a dog I walk twice a day, and in the evenings, I go to yoga 3 to 4 times a week. I need around 1500 calories to maintain my weight, even with that level of activity. In the past, I could lose weight on 1500 calories and no exercise.
I think if you need less calories as you age we really do need to be more aware of our nutritional needs and not waste the calories on rubbish which let’s face it junk is lovely but a lot of the time low in the nutrients we need.
It’s so dull but we really need to eat well most of the time and move our bodies alot more to help with muscle mass and stave off osteoporosis etc.
I come from a line of unhealthy family members who have been affected from their mid to late forties with various health ailments that are lifestyle led in most cases. So it already motivates me, but also the more i find out about perimenopause and aging the more i want to carry on living as healthy as i can!
Should add i’m not perfect or restrictive with any food groups.

Agree totally.
I purposefully walk around 14/15 miles per week, not including my everyday movements. The time when I started to lose weight was when I cut my calories down.
Saying that, I dread to think what state I’d be in if I didn’t walk because the diet is not great at the minute
They also say you can’t out train a bad diet which is 100% true.
Ugh I need to arm myself with at least some basic knowledge of perimenopause. I've been putting it off for too long and I can't ignore the fact my body is in free fall.
Would you please let me know a good resources that helped you and/or something you wish you'd done differently?
Thanks
