Naive Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I have no idea whats going on but I have gained 15 pounds in about 1 month, what could I be doing to cause this? I still eat the same. All of a sudden I went from 120 to 135!!!! What should I do?
Author Naive Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 No. I have been going less for the past 2 weeks. Why?
RowanRavyn Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 You may want to have your thyroid checked.
moimeme Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 It's a gland that controls your metabolism. If you're eating regularly and putting on that much weight that quickly, you should get checked out. If you had become excessively thirsty as well or started visiting the potty that much more often, those could be signs of diabetes.
Author Naive Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 Well I hope its not that Thanks for the info Moi.
jellybean Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Certain prescription meds cause weight gain, are you on any?
Author Naive Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 I'm just on anti-biotics. Tretacyclin.
Suz76 Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Antibiotics can make you retain fluid. If you're going to the bathroom less, I suspect it's this. Go get some fiber capsules and drink 10 glasses of water a day.
MassiveAtom Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 are you pregnant, hon? Not being facetious or anything, just thought I'd ask.

Author Naive Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 No I am definitely not pregnant but I am still worried. I will go to the doctor soon though.
Nostalgic Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Is it visible gain or just according to the scale? Might be possible you got an inaccurate reading for this weight or your previous "120" . Just trying to be optimistic
CurlyIam Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Hum... if you've recently changed the bc pills, they could cause
CurlyIam Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 sorry... they could contribute to the increase of your appetite. But since you say you've been eating normally.... don't know what to say. Did you stop exercising? Did you change any of your old routines ? I hope it isn't anything serious, my friend.

It is visible gain. It does not look super obvious but I can tell when I gain weight and when I weigh myself as well. Whatever it is I am going to the doctor if it keeps going up. Thanks for worrying Curly
Stone Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Haven't you been at the Gym alot lately??? If so it's probably muscle mass
Author Naive Posted March 21, 2005 Author Posted March 21, 2005 Well I was going for a while but I stopped for health reasons bow I go once in a while to the YMCA.
Merin Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Naive when are you going to the Docs? Possible that this is a stress related issue? A lot of new things have been going on in your life as of late...
