susan,
its menopause and it just plain sucks.
i always have had a totally flat stomach and now i got a "pooch." and love handles. i gained 20 pounds in the last couple years and i totally cannot lose them.

You know, after I had my history wrecked, I contined to lose weight. I thought, at last I've got this weight thing licked. Well, not 6 months later my weight just skyrocketed. I was still on the same diet and I ended up gaining 20 lbs. So that tells me hormonal changes do affect weight and weight loss.

I joined a weight loss program and I would lose *maybe* 3/4-1 lb a week.
