Stinks big time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330887 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:07:12 +0000 Bookish 330887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure do :( I think I have thyroid issues, but man, I just THINK about eating a brownie and BAM. 2 pounds. I've been eating healthier and working out every day for the last year and lost 30 pounds, but it's been HARD. I see all these people with statuses saying *oh I lost 15 pounds in the last couple months* and it makes me want to scream! I have to fight for every pound!! </p> <p>I've still got about 15 pounds to go, but we are TTC, so who knows how long it will be before I get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330866 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:58:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 330866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: umm you changed your u/n?!? Lol<br /> Anyway- well likes some pp's said, weight gain wasn't an issue until 30+. You're still in your early 20's so that could be why, your metabolism is still fast :)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: isn't that typically the same with anyone? Like I said- I generally eat healthy and work out weekly but this month was busy and so my body gained weight. Totally sucks but It just reminds me to be diligent in caring for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330858 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:53:19 +0000 pinkcupcake 330858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Unless I watch what I eat very, very carefully, I'll totally gain weight. </p> <p>@sweetchic: Same as you... I'm never at my goal weight for more than 6 months :( Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330793 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:28:10 +0000 Meridian 330793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always :( I typically have been anywhere from 15 - 25 lbs overweight (based on BMI). There have been moments when I'm down to my goal weight, but that doesn't usually last more than 6 months before it starts to creep back up again. Last year I lost 15 lbs on Weight Watchers and then gained back 10 of it, sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330771 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:18:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 330771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have to say no. Although I feel chubby right now, I feel like I am at a pretty good weight for eating as crappy as I do (and being as lazy as I am).<br /> After our wedding I got super busy and I pretty much halted the conscious eating and the working out and nothing really changed about my body. I think if I actually tried I would look at LOT better than I do right now.</p> <p>This reminds me, I really need to get my ass in gear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330763 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:14:58 +0000 Turd Ferguson 330763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepppp. Lame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330757 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:10:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 330757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. It was a problem when I was a teenager. I was underweight and my doctor wanted me to put on 10-15 pounds. He thought I was anorexic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330722 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:40:26 +0000 heffalump 330722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't used to. I used to be so thin! But with age came easy weight gain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330720 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:38:48 +0000 CATWOMAN 330720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330712 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:26:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 330712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems unfair to say I gain weight easily, since, when I gain it, it's because I've been lazy and not worked out and not eaten very healthfully, but yes, those times I definitely gain. It sucks, right around when I turned 30 it just got harder to keep it off. I hoped going of BCP would make me miraculously drop 10 pounds, but in fact, I gained a little. Yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330710 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:25:03 +0000 Andrea 330710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, been this way my whole life. </p> <p>@mrs. bird: me too, always been jealous of people who don't gain weight in their faces! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330692 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:02:43 +0000 mrs. bird 330692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately :( and the first place it goes is my face, so everyone knows when I gain weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330682 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:59:50 +0000 chopsuey 330682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only since I've gotten pregnant! Gained 5 lbs in a week while I was nursing too! Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330658 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:50:55 +0000 ladyfingers 330658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Especially once I hit my 30s. I can't eat and lay around like I used to, without consequence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330596 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:02:32 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 330596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's been a struggle all my life. As long as I continue to work out and always monitor what I eat, I'm ok. But that gets boring quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gain-weight-easily#post-330592 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:54:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 330592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly yes.</p> <p>I was down to my pre-pg weight at 6 months pp. And this last month has been one of not-so-healthy eating and not as consistently working out because of moving, SIL's wedding etc. And I weighed myself this morning so see I'm +7 lbs!! ahhhh!!! </p> <p>Gotta get back into my groove :)</p> <p>Do you gain easily? </p>
