"Many women gain significant amounts of weight following menopause.". 2. "This may be a good time to discuss diet programs, since you are obviously overweight.". 3. "Women have a tendency to gain weight as they get older, but increased exercise and cutting back on fats and sugar could help prevent other medical problems in the future.". 4. "Being overweight is a concern, but since you are healthy otherwise we can just watch for awhile to see what happens.".
