NeNa Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 hello. I am about 5'1 and I weight about 175 lbs. I have gained 45 lbs within the last year. I used to weigh 129. I went from a size 5 to a 14 (28 in to 35) The thing is... I also had alot more muscle. My legs were nice and tight, flat tummy, and Although I have big boobs) they were also somewhat tight. Now, Ive lost all my muscle, boobs grew a whole cup size, and I have stretch marks on my hips and legs. I didnt realize how much I was gaining until I saw all my red marks. This has really hurt my esteem and I want to get back in shape. I know that this may seem unrealistic, but can I lose about 5-10 lbs a week? I know healthy is 2-3, but still.... I just would like some suggestions from people who understand or have tips for me. This is really embarrassing... so that is why I am here. What can I do... and no I dont eat like a pig. I have regular 3 meals... my metabolism slow down? Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 You really need to see a physician. If you haven't changed your eating habits, then you could have some sort of physical condition that requires treatment. Don't go on any diets until you've had a checkup and blood tests, please. You could hurt yourself if you have a physical ailment. Link to post Share on other sites
Matilda Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 If there is no medical reason for your weight gain, I would recommend that you try Weight Watchers. They give you lots of guidance, and it is a very healthy way of eating. The other diet I like is the South Beach Diet, but that is one that you do on your own, and it sounds like you might need more support than that. Link to post Share on other sites
