Why on earth can't I lose weight???

[wangle99]

Am at end of my tether here, am overweight and need to lose weight for my health and I just can't!

Followed WW 2 years ago, lost approx 2lb per week for 4 months, lost the plot at Christmas and gained it back.

Tried weight watchers, Rosemary Conley and most recently Slimming world. First week (as change in eating habits so drastic) always lose good amount of weight, 2nd week tiny bit, 3rd week either stay the same or put on and it goes on from there with me gaining.

Am exercising this time time (fitness classes 3 times a week) and have just had 3rd week weigh in on Slimming World. First week lost 6lb, 2nd week lost 3/4lb this week gained 1/2lb.

Am not pregnant lol Am not going to slimming world classes am doing it at home.

Help!

wangle try something completely different The paul Mckenna way of slimming it's a lifestyle thing that you can use forever it works!!

Wangle, am having similar issue, and having the Mirena removed this week as I'm sure that's the cause of my weight gain. I usually weigh 10st but have shot up to 11.5 stone and no amount of healthy eating and exercise is shifting it. I think hormonal contraception just triggers my body to gain and hold on to weight, my bra size has also gone up and I feel enormous.

I read through some old MN threads and it seems this is fairly common on Mirena, even if you've used it before. Just a thought!
