It was for me. Not that I weighed all that much less before menopause, but when I bought a pair of jeans/slacks, the ones which fit me around the hips and thighs would have a loose waist. Now those same pants (yes, I still have them) are quite tight in the waist.

Does your doctor really think that HRT is going to help you lose weight around the middle? I guess I never heard of that as a solution to weight gain as one ages.
