weight loss/weight gain??
by dragonflysar21, Jun 08, 2007 12:38AM
I have PCOS, and that in iteself causes weight gain thru insulin resistance, I started take a vigirous regiment of vitamins, and managed to loose 25 pounds. I was so excited and even joined a gym, I work out 5 times a day, but my dr. put me on birth control.. and I have gained 5 pounds back. This is very upsetting to me because I have been trying so hard to loose weight, finally I found something that seems to work but I am gaining again! I know birth control can cause weight gain but not sure if this is the cause of my weight gain? Also, I do watch what I eat, I have always had organtic foods, lots and lots of salads.. nothing too fatening, (besides some chocolate once in a while) :) Can working out cause the weight gain? any advice would be helpful. thanks.

Yes working out can cause weight gain. Muscle weighs more than fat. I have gained weight in the past with birth contrl pills. I am now on depo and have been loosing ( I got off the depo for a short time and gained weight so I went back on) I don't know if this helps but I am wondering if I have PCOS. But all I do know is as of right now I will not be getting off the depo.
