I am 49 and have not had a menstrual period in the past 2 months. Lately I have gained 7# ..Any suggestion?

You have to start resistance training. Your metabolism begins to slow down and muscle mass begins to decrease. This actually begins to happen at age 35. Simply having muscle mass on your body will increase your metabolism, and you will burn more calories thoughout the day, not just when you exercise. If you dont already belong to a gym, try some DVD's or I recommend the books by Jorge Cruise...they are simple to follow and have great pictures. You will have to invest in some dummbells, a stability ball and some resistabands. Good luck

Yep, menopause, and weight gain will happen with the same calories/activities. I could never lose weight permanently on WW or any other diet plan. Because I'm a binge eater I needed Overeaters Anonymous. http://oa.org/ Sounds like you do not have that problem, but you might want to try the food plan most of us use, which is no sugar, fake sugar, or white flour. I think if you simply eliminate these non-foods you'll be surprised what happens. At 60 I'm well past menopause, do some walking, dancing, snow shoveling, etc, and have lost >50 lbs since April and still dropping. Plenty of energy and no more mood swings. Combine this with resistance training and if nothing else you will FEEL so much better!

it could be menopause. the changes in hormones therefore also might have caused you to gain weight instead of losing it.

Maybe you are going through menopause

ur period doesn't go on 4 ur whole life
