OT: Did you gain weight during menopause?

I think I am just starting to go through menopause. I am 51 years old - my mother went through it when she was 50. My sister, who is 47 has already gone through it.

I have multiple symptoms that are mildly annoying {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes} but the one that is driving me crazy is the weight gain - and it's all around my waist. I eat well, and for pete's sake, I'm training for a marathon right now, but still......I'm steadily gaining weight/inches no matter what I try. I'm trying to just accept it, but now it's to the point where my pants do not fit anymore.

I guess I'm just looking for advice before I go out and buy a new wardrobe, LOL.....and maybe some reassurance that I'm not crazy. {#emotions_dlg.bored}
