Menopause. Isn’t the whole thing disconcerting enough without gaining weight that you can’t seem to lose? The problem is that the hormonal changes associated with midlife make it more likely that women will gain weight, and that weight is harder to lose. What’s a woman to do?

If you’re trying to lose weight and feel thwarted by menopause, you need a game plan. Jeanne Andrus steps up to help you plan and play your best game and feel better about your body and your life.

Lighten Up! is the follow-up book to Andrus’s #1 best-seller I Just Want to Be ME Again!, which provided explanations and strategies for dealing with changes brought on by perimenopause and menopause. In Lighten Up! she combines her ten-plus years of experience as a menopausal woman, personal trainer, and health coach to work to focus on the effects of hormonal changes on weight loss, and how you can use that knowledge to create an effective personalized weight-loss plan. She’ll show you why you need a game plan that’s uniquely designed for you, and tell you how to make sure your diet is right for you.

But she doesn’t stop there. Andrus explains how to set goals for weight loss and actually reach them, by super-charging your motivation and removing internal blockers so you stick with your diet.

Your biggest win will be looking and feeling better from the very first day of your plan.
