I keep gaining weight do I have a thyroid problem?!
Question:
I keep gaining weight do I have a thyroid problem?
I didnt gain weight for years and years, ever since my pregnancy 1 year ago I keep gaining.
I've gained 60 pounds throughout pregnancy, after labor I lost 40 pounds in 2 weeks, and ever since (4 months ago) Ive been gradually gaining non stop.
I live quite a sedentary lifestyle, mostly couch potato I must say but I do go for walks once or twice a week. But the thing is, Ive ALWAYS been sedentary.
Now I keep gaining weight and soon Ill be at the same weight I was at 9 months pregnant but without a baby!!!! Its so weird cause all my clothes still fit.
What should I do? Could it be thyroid? I breastfed for 2 months not anymore sadly I couldnt so thats out of the question.
I really dont know what is wrong with me.
Answers:
Such a significant weight gain does not indicate a thyroid problem, but best to get it checked out to be sure. If all clear - see a nutrtionist.
