So, I am almost 37 years old, my period is on time every month, I have a pretty good diet, I exercise and have no health problems. I have 1 child that is 10 years old. I also had a surprise pregnancy a year ago, that turned out to be a tubal pregnancy. My problem is that over the past 7 months or so, I have gained an extra 25 pounds. I have almost no clothes that fit anymore. 1 year ago, my waist was pretty small, and I am small framed. I have gained alot of weight in my arms, stomach , thighs and but…. lets just say everywhere, but in those places mostly. When I really started to notice, I started walking everyday, and replacing my sweet tea with bottled water. I did this for 3 weeks, and never lost a single pound. I have since then, put on a few more pounds, joined a gym and dieted even more, the healthy way. Still cannot lose a pound. I have heard this can be caused by pre-menopause. hormone ? Thyroid? I had a full blood panel done 1 year ago at the doctors office, where they checked all that, and it was normal. I have never had a problem dropping a few pounds if I needed to. I am completley baffled? Any suggestions ladies?

I am not over-skinny, nor overweight. I am of average weight for my height (I’m 145-150 and I’m 5’7″). I also have moderate to sever fatigue symptoms on a regular basis, which I assume are probably related but not directly caused by this.

I often equate my chills with feeling like a menopausal woman… Complete with the heat flash when the chill passes…

Is there anything like this that is well known and documented for me to ask my doctor about?
