Many middle-aged women notice changes in their body shape and overall weight. Although weight gain around menopause serves a purpose, it can be detrimental to body image. The good news is it's absolutely possible to get back to your original body size. But it will take some effort. If diet and lifestyle changes do not work, you could consider medication options. On SeeMe-nopause, you can also get personal advice from a doctor about weight loss and menopause.
