For 2 years now, I've successfully followed Prof Studd's regime of 4 pumps of gel + blob of testogel + 7 days of Utrogestan per month. This regime saved me from dreadful anxiety and depression and insomnia, at times it was so awful that I had suicidal ideation.

Fast forward to now and I'm back to bring me again, and infact feel more positive and happier than I have for years and years 

But, there's no denying I have gained weight to the tune of about 10lbs and my torso is much thickened. I also seem to have permanently slightly swollen fingers. I also feel that my bowel movements are much slower and I can get constipated.

I'm finding it next to impossible to lose this weight, I have to really punish myself to even lose the first 3lbs.

Could it be because of the amount of oestrogen I'm on? Or is it just middle age? I am very reluctant to risk changing HRT incase it impacts on my mood, but it does get me down that I look and feel so matronly too.

I gained 10llb too after menopause ! I just couldn't shift it so joined Slimming World, it didn't come off me like it did hubby but after 5 months it all came off.  My life is a bit haphazard at the moment as I've taken up golf and playing 3-4 times a week so my appetite and ability to stick to the plan to maintain has gone haywire and I've gained about 5llb and it shows (to me anyway)

It is possible to lose it, it's just about finding the right things to avoid, for me fat and sugar x
