At 57 (several years past the start of my menopause) I started to see an increased waistline and a belly (I had always been proud of my flat belly; post 2 kids!) My pants are tight and I feel fat. After reading this website I feel better (misery loves company!). But I intend to battle this bulge and try to lose the 5 - 7 pounds that I have accumulated in the last few months. thanks.
