Hello...
Short history... Until about a year ago, I've managed a relatively-easy-to-maintain weight of 10st0 - 10st3 (I'm 5 foot 4 so this is the heavier size of the healthy BMI range).
My "normal" weight then started to creep up to around the 10st8 mark and eventually hit 11st without anything else about my diet or activity levels changing- I cook from scratch, and eat healthily during the week but relax it over the weeknd.
So I did the 7 day juicing which shifted half a stone, but this went straight back on over Christmas, which I was expecting, but what I wasn't expecting was the battle afterwards to lose it. Since January, through a combination of juicing (which did not work at all this time) and the 5:2 (which has been working) I have shifted a grand total of 5lbs. This was up until half term when I had our (extremely fussy eater) family staying with us. In That ONE WEEK, I put on 7.5lbs.
I have looked at my food diary on MyFitnessPal and I have averaged 1414kCal a day over the last 3 and a bit weeks. An example of a day of food for me would be gluten free toast and egg for breakfast, salad or homemade veg soup for lunch and a healthy dinner of mainly protein and veg, but sometimes rice/gluten free pasta.
I am starting to get a bit worried that something else is gong on here - to be unable to lose more than 5lbs in 2 months despite being so careful but then to gain so much so fast has me concerned about all sorts(PCOS, diabetes, etc). As an aside, I do yoga as my form of exercise. It's not muscle weight either, just as a btw - I physically can't fit into my clothes any more.
Is it worth maybe making an appointment with the GP?
