Tummy help

All my weight goes to my stomach! It's never flattened out since my last child (over 20 years ago!) It's 10-15 pounds, so it doesn't sound like a big deal, but I look pregnant unless I really suck it in.

I've tried everything and nothing works. I feel bloated and 'toady'.

I just rejoined WeightWatchers online to track my eating and go back on the Flex Plan. Starting the treadmill too, but my stomach seems to be getting BIGGER.
Am I holding water? How do I remedy this? Do I have to give up salt?

Are you going through menopause? Just askling because my Mom is going through menopause and her doctor told her that it's normal for her to gain weight in the middrift :o. He did tell her to lay off the carbs a bit though...LOL!

Thanks for the reply. I'm 60 and I went through menopause about 8 years ago, so it can't be that. I'm going to try cutting out salt for a while.
