[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 252633"] I just skimmed the responses/looked quickly. However...I've got to say that what Marq. said...made much sense to me. I do think, esp. after menopause, we have to be extra careful. Bottom line: we just don't need as many calories as we might think. We don't burn as many. Period. Generally, I think to lose the weight it means eating healfthfully, smaller portions and less sugar. Personally, I think it is fine to have sugar (I'm talking in the form of a dessert) for a special treat now and again. So, perhaps on the weekend or for an obvious special occassion...birthday, Easter, etc. But then, keep it a small portion. Same with alcohol. So not too often...and then in small portions. Exercise...also important. Bread: Limisted and then only whole wheat Lots of veggies, a little fruit, lean meat, a little low or non fat dairy, plenty of water. 30 minutes of exercise...four days of week seems perfect. Build up to it though. Add weights later...perhaps two times a week. Get in some natural exercise...walk the dog, wash the car, clean the house. Keep your thoughts positive...read uplifiting material...talk to friends. Get to bed on time. All these things add up, done consistently....the weight will come off. Get support...if necessary. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
