Ah, the swan song of hormones - how well I remember that tune!!

I started pre-menopause when I was about 45. From then until I reached post-menopause, at about 60 or so, my weight just kept going up and up! It was horrible! Then, after I turned 63 and quit my job, bam! I lost 20 lbs., not even really trying! Stress, ladies, stress! Stress can make and keep you fat, when I quit my job, I gave up a lot of stress!! I lost another 20 when I had knee replacement surgery 18 months ago, then put 10 back on. Now I'm determined to get this weight off!!

Today you have different options then I did during that 15 year of time in my life. Research, talk to your doctor (and, please, don't let him put you off, if he does, find another doctor, wish I had!!) and you will succeed!
