If you are currently struggling with weight gain- especially belly fat due to menopause, I have something to share with you that has helped me and hundreds of others I have shared it with.
I have been in shape, have had healthy habits with nutrition and fitness my entire life, however when menopause ‘showed up’ at around age 54, I slowly began to gain weight. My clothes started to get tighter, especially around middle, and soon I found I was shopping for LONGER tops to hide my widening belly. (men-o-pot)
I cringe when I look at the photo of my belly- I remember holding it saying “What the HECK is this”? As you can see by the expression on my face, I was NOT happy with the way I looked or felt.
Since I have been fairly phobic when it comes to stepping on the scale, I didn’t know how much weight I had actually gained over the past 10 years, but what I knew what I had gained was definitely NOT muscle! Although it doesn’t 
sound like a lot to gain each year, 2 pounds a year multiplied by 10 years is 20 pounds. WOW! I couldn’t believe it.
If you are or have been scale phobic you know how stepping on the scale can either put you in a happy or a foul mood!
Flash back to December, 2020 when I was introduced to what I now call my magical ‘potion’ called Zipslim. My friend said simply “DRINK & SHRINK” and she wasn’t kidding. I had watched her lose 34 pounds in just 90 days… in fact, I had watched she and her girlfriend literally shrink in 90-days and decided to give it a try. I literally prayed that this would be my upcoming New Years Resolution Solution, though all the other products/programs, I had tried in the past 10 years didn’t work. They actually failed miserably! I was, however hopeful for the first time in many year.
Zipslim is a delicious blackberry lemonade flavored drink mix (add 12-10 ounces of water and simply shake) that flips on your AMPK switch to ON and gets your body and metabolism working effectively again. It comes in both charged and decaf. For the science and info with Dr. Drucker, formulator of ZipSlim click here: https://zipslim.tv/joy/ 
I was reluctant to take photos but I knew that there are many ways to measure one’s progress. In the past I had run numerous weight loss challenges as both a personal trainer and manager of a health club and knew the scale was only one way of assessing progress.
Luckily I did take photos, took my measurements, weighed myself and even chose favorite “tester pants”.
As you can see from these photos, as I began to reduce my body fat and lose weight my FACE also got more slim.
The Zipslim was the only thing I did different each day, other than weigh myself and to date, am down 28 pounds. When I began I would have been thrilled losing 10-15 pounds as I didn’t want to get too aggressive with my weight loss goals, but what I have found with the Zipslim is it helps bring your body into a healthy balance- improving much more than just weight loss. It helps you get to your ideal size/shape/weight that God intended for those who take care of their ‘temple’.
Have I reached my ultimate version of me? I am not sure. At age 65 I plan to work on becoming stronger and more functionally fit and release perhaps another 5 more pounds.
It’s fun to shop in my own closet again and be able to fit into my favorite clothes. All my shirts and pants are longer, since losing my belly fat, and it feels GREAT. For example the dress in the photo below was VERY tight when I tried it on before Zipslim and I looked 5 months pregnant. I almost threw away the white Capri pants in the photo below because I couldn’t fit them up past my thighs. The black and white photos were taken July 2021, just 7 months after drinking the Zipslim.
If you are discouraged with how you look and feel, Zipslim could be your solution. It really is much more than weight loss, but since we are talking weight loss and belly fat, that has been what I’ve been sharing most in this blog. However, here are other benefits:
If you are committed to becoming happier, healthier and more fit give the Zipslim a try. It comes with a generous 90-Day money-back guarantee so what do you have to lose? To see more testimonials (Before and After photos click here: https://beyondslim.com/story/)

During our Reboot66 we dedicate each week with a new RITUAL or habit. That way by the time we reach 66 days we’ll pretty much have them down without having to think about it. 21- days can make or break a habit, but 66 days is a magical number where it becomes more automated.
If you or anyone is wanting to join my next reset and find a tribe of others who have similar goals, then JOIN US today! (You can actually join at any time but my next KICK OFF is January 25, 2022….and then will be repeated 90 days later.) 4 groups per year.
train… In spite of my healthy habits and commitment to doing MY part, the weight (especially belly fat) crept on me like a thief in the night. I honestly started avoiding mirrors and hiding behind my grandkids whenever photos were being taken…hoping the extra baggy clothes might camouflage my growing “Men-o-pot” belly. This sad spiral continued with an extra couple pounds creeping on every year for ten years before I found the solution that turned my frown upside down! I can’t even count the number of pills, potions, powders, and extreme crash diets that I gave 100% effort with literally not an inch budging from my middle!
Yes, my fit, lean and healthy body seemed to just LOVE the additional fat padding that accumulated in places I had never had fat before- namely my back and my belly, but also butt and boobs… yes, as I said before, the 4 B’s. This FAT hung around until recently- with my belly being the most discouraging and prominent, which is why I named my belly my ‘men-0-pot’.
the scale and my health has improved as a result of releasing unwanted and unnecessary toxic fat.

I’ve been talking to several friends lately who are just starting or are THICK IN THE MIDDLE of menopause. Fortunately for me, I cruised through ‘the change’ with relative ease…. with the most annoying side effect being HOT FLASHES. I was always someone who was COLD until menopause… it is quite humorous looking back at most holidays, even in the winter, where everyone is bundled in sweaters etc. and I am in a tank top. Very strange but true.
Yup, I began calling my widening belly my Men-0-Pot!!! At first I thought it was something that would PASS, but 10 years in the making, I had gained 2 pounds a year and had a whopping 20 pounds of EXCESS fat on my body…. Yup, mom was right when she told me not to get too used to my tiny waist.
Well, I’m here to tell you that I found something that has helped me tremendously and can help you too. If you want to lose fat weight – whether menopause related or otherwise, this will help. AND it’s proven and backed by science. As a former personal trainer, I wish I had this product available as the majority of my clients were women 50+ in age.
Rather than be secretive about what I discovered I’m going to share a couple of links below. One is a website that explains how and why this works
and the other is an in-depth video with Dr.
