Weight gain in men-o-pause

By: Queue Murphy    
    Weight gain is very common in menopause.  The hard part is carrying all of the weight around!  I have not weighed this much since I was 9 months pregnant.  One of our commenters suggested getting my thyroid checked.  I will be doing that very soon and let you know how it goes.  
     I also know that I crave carbs - especially chocolate and wine - while it sounds great, I think it is helping me pack on the pounds!   From what I have read, I am supposed to pick up my activity level and eat a healthier diet.  Tomorrow I will start - I promise!
