I'm 5'6", but with a small build, so weighing 122 pounds isn't horrible, just uncomfortable since so much of it is in my stomach. I can hardly get my pany hose on with working up a sweat!
I like fruit just fine, but I live alone and it spoils too quick with just one eating it. Apples do OK in the crisper, but I'd have to go to the grocery every other day and buy fresh. And grocery shopping is NOT one of my favorite things. I bought a face aerobics video several years ago and just pulled it out again because my jowels were starting to look a little too much like a bull dog. It really does seem to help. Best to all. -------------------- Liz

QUOTE (freakofnature @ Jan 13 2005, 01:38 PM) I bought a face aerobics video several years ago and just pulled it out again because my jowels were starting to look a little too much like a  ROTFL Mine too. I am 54 weigh in at 140 and am only 5' 4 1/2" I used to weight 125 for yrs. Then came the Meno!!!! It all settled on my waist. O well at least now I don't have to worry about a belt. GoldenFrost |

Oh, I have the tiny tummy. I just try to recall the line from "Pulp Fiction," where one actor stated a tiny belly on a woman was SEXY. Plus, a counselor, stated
years ago when I complained about my belly, "What do you want to look like a guy." Androgenous abs are in these days though. Plus, the hormonal bloat! Well, never got around to the free weights and I only exercised once this week. I'm anxious, so pace LOTS!!!! I hate winter!!! In New England it restricts my lifestyle. I have a gym membership, but it's nothing like being outdoors in spring, summer or fall, so............... It's strange that I've become less vain, as perilmenopause has invaded my life. Although, outside of a NEEDED MEDICATION, which causes weight gain I likely won't get obese. -------------------- CHRISCAROL

And I've heard that exercising the facial muscles actually could cause more sag.

I did Weight Watchers 2 years ago and lost 15 pounds, including the belly fat. I did it while using low dose Vivelle patches 0.025. I did not use any progesterone because that stuff makes me tired and depressed. In my case, I think the estrogen actually helped me lose the weight. I have heard that when your estrogen levels drop, your body compensates by storing more belly fat, because abdominal fat cells make estrogen.

I lost the weight while using an low-dose estrogen patch, too. Plus progesterone.
I think balancing your hormones helps weight loss. -------------------- To do evil, a human being must first believe that what they are doing is good.
