If you have a lot of weight to loose and you have not managed to solve this problem by menopause age you need to come up with an effective solution.
For many women time passes by while we tell ourselves:
“I should eat more healthily”
“I should exercise more”
The bottom line is that no changes happen and you find yourself stuck in the same place.

The first thing for a plan to be effective is to write it down. Decide what you are going to change (usually I suggest to start with diet rather than exercise) and write down a reasonable plan that you are going to review after 30 days.Whatever plan you decide to follow you need accountability and that is why the review in 30 days is essential. Telling yourself that you are doing well is useless if there is no measurable progress.I will write more in future on what I think is the best way to loose weight but you need to start somewhere so make your own choice but set a goal for 30 days later and then reconsider your plan.

After 30 days you need to ask yourself:

Has it worked?
Have you achieved any improvement?

If you haven’t then the diet plan you have picked is not for you. Was it too hard to follow? Was it too vague on quantities and calories?

Whatever the problem was you need to change it. You might at this stage need some expert advice and there are plenty of professional offers out there. Don’t be shy. Very few people can do this alone.
