Watching the Weight Creep Up After Menopause

The weight gain that typically accompanies the menopausal transition may be a little harder to shake. If you don't take measures to prevent it, you could end up with a 10- to 15-pound souvenir.

While there's little doubt that menopausal women have a tendency to pack on extra pounds, experts believe that hormonal changes aren't solely to blame. It's likely that a number of factors contribute to the problem.
