20 Answers
Hi, I'm 5'7 46 years old, I exercise everyday, such as body combat, body pump, use the treadmill, cross-trainer, do body-pump classes (using weights), swimming, fellwalking, I work in a care home so I'm more or less on my feet for 7 hours, I'm a vegetarian, so live off fruit and veg, I don't drink alcohol, so why am I putting weight on instead of losing weight? thank you for your replies xxx

Weight gain in middle age is often seen as the norm, isn't it, but the menopause is one hormonal factor for weight gain.
I presume that yopu feel well in yourself.
Monitor the situation and don't worry.

Try swapping some fruit for protein. Reduce weights increase cardio. Find a body mass analyser and see if body fat is the problem.
You didn't say how much you weigh I wonder if you are aiming for an unrealistic target.
I was losing weight quickly til I started the gym, I have lost fat gained muscle, lost inches not pounds. It will shift back at some point.

CICO...calories in calories out...is more complicated than that. And, as others have said, Kay may very well be building muscle. We don't know by how much weight is increasing, or if it's out of correct range. Or if measurements have changed, which often hapoens. Kay may still be at a healthy weight.
