Yes, I have a new meno specialist and was recently weighed at the hospital. I lost weight while on continuous MHT, oral estrogen and micronized progesterone. I'm now 116 lbs. BMI is 24.2. I'm short with full thighs and bottom and defined waist. At 59, I'm softer around the waist, but not thick. My weight was highest in early to mid peri and dropped and stabilized in late peri and post meno. Significant changes to diet to address inflammation and other peri symptoms likely stabilized weight and kept it off my middle.
I had a larger waistline in early to mid peri. Most of my clothes from that era were too big to be altered and had to be discarded. But I was able to wear very old clothes and belts from my 30s. So if you're in peri, hang on to your favourite outfits. You may be able to wear them again.
I'm now on sequential transdermal estrogen (Estrogel) and micronized progesterone (Prometrium). I've only been on it for a month and a bit, so we'll see how it goes.
