Does your story sound familiar! I did not take the hormone replacement therapy when I went through menopause so can't answer from personal experience. I know that several of my girlfriends did take HRT and they still got the menopause belly just like I did. I have not researched specifically whether or not HRT contributes to the problem but since much of the problems we experience in menopause are hormonally driven, it could well be that HRT is a contributing factor.

If the exercises don't help, I'd recommend talking to your doctor about it and see if he has other solutions. I'd also make certain your doctor has an understanding of the issues that surround women in menopause. Some don't and nothing is more frustrating than trying to have a discussion and get information only to have the doctor pat your hand and say "there, there, dear. these things just happen!" (That actually happened to me and I have a new doctor now!)

Girls... Do any of you have any other advice for our gentle reader?
