to ask if you have managed to get rid of perimenopausal belly fat and bloat and how you have done it?

[SoManyQuestions219]

Am 46 and am noticing bloating and a thickening waist .

Just wondering what you have done to combat these symptoms!! Is it possible to be this age and have a youthful figure? Have about half a stone of general weight to lose but my belly has freaked me out!

Thank you!

Oh yes, I see my grandmother in me when I look at some recent photos, horrors!

I am going through this now. Im 42 and was ticking along quite nicely on my vegan diet. Ive noticed in the last few months that I've been gaining weight.

Im attacking this full on. Ive started fitness pal (which I really like) and tied up my old trainers and been doing 4k about 4 times a week..

Ive just been looking at the 7 min workout which I had a go at this morning. I wasn't particularly impressed so I will have a look at planking. It cant be that difficult - surely?

Keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders .

how, bookworm? any suggestions?
