Hello, I'm new here and was hoping to find some support or encouragement from fellow ladies. I recently moved to the UK and have steadily been gaining weight for the last few months. I'm 47 and wondering if it's perimenopause, especially since most of it is in my belly. I am quite active and do a 90 minute weight training regimen 3-4 times a week, burning up to 600 calories per workout. I also walk a couple of miles 7 days a week, burning about 200 calories per walk. I have a healthy diet rich in protein and veggies and count my calories. I've done these things for years and it's always kept me slim and energetic. Sure, I cheat sometimes, but now when I do, it seems I'll gain a pound or more overnight and the numbers on the scale keep going up and up. I'm to the point where I don't like how I look, I don't feel sexy anymore, I won't let my new husband touch me, and I'm angry more often than not. I just don't know what to do anymore and I'm so unhappy. Is anyone else struggling like this? Thanks for letting me share.
