[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 126771"] For me, the number one thing by far is exercise. If I did not exercise, I would not lose weight. I would have to starve myself (I suspect) for the scale to budge since my early 40s. And each year, it gets a tiny bit worse. :pouting: I read somewhere that health wise, it is best to aim for 200 minutes of cardio work per week and this is what I do. However, I am constantly mixing things up (mostly to prevent boredom). At the moment, I work out 40 minutes, 5 times a week. Most days I do the treadmill and some days I do half the treadmill and half the ellipitical machine. I very slowly built up to this. I can't emphasize this enough. Most days I work out very hard...but if I am not feeling well, I take it easy on myself. It is best (ideal) to also do some weight training as well. I don't think a lot is needed. For a period of time I was doing 20 minutes twice a week and I got great results. I really don't care for the weights, so I have stopped, but I plan on going back to it by March 1st. Two more things: I also think that eating the proper amount of fiber (I think its 25 ) for women is helpful. Most people don't get the right amount. Just bumping it up and being mindful of this is a good and helpful thing. Getting in plenty of water is also helpful. in my humble opinion, after menopause it really is harder and it takes diligence in these three areas to speed things along. [/QUOTE]
