My main problem is the visceral abdominal fat so common in women after menopause. Nothing I do seems to be helping to get rid of this. I am careful about what I eat without obsessing, ride my bike or trainer as often as I can, do resistance training regularly. It's very frustrating to see no change. I am more concerned about the health aspect of the excess fat weight as opposed to being worried about how my clothing fits or what size it is (not that I don't think about that).
I've been reading a book called "You, on a diet" by Oz and Roizen. The main goal of the book is to show you how and why that abdominal fat should go. They say the appropriate circumference of the abdomen for women (as measured around the belly button) is at most 35", but ideally under 32-1/2".

I'd love it if my belly were under 35 inches, even if it was bigger than the rest of me. At least my behind wouldn't be so big! If yours is under 35" I'd say your health is probably not an issue.
