Osteoporosis medication continuity?

@oopsiedaisy thank you and appreciate your detailed response on your diet and exercise regimen including the weight regimen. I do plan to include weights in my routine but, might start going to the gym or a class first to get initiated. I am not as self-motivated in that area .
I already take 1200 units of Calcium and 1000 units Vitamin D daily for last 8-10 months .
My doctor had an interesting observation and she said some women develop Osteo in the first couple years of menopause and you are in that classic period.

Good idea to start with a class or gym. That was how I started. I had never lifted weights in my life and did mostly cardio and some machines which I found caused repetitive use injuries in my hand and wrist because they were simply too large for me. I started going to a "boot camp" which included body weight and weight exercises. I also did a "Body Pump" class for several years that I really liked.
I think my osteoporosis was very much related to menopause. I was started on HRT at age 51 because of an enlightened OB/GYN, for which I am thankful. I remain on it today at age 63.
