The longer I live, the less I believe in the calories-in, calories-out theory. I think sugar's the culprit for weight gain--sugar and high GI carbs. I usually eat 3500/cal a day: way more than the recommendation. But as long as it's veggies, olive oil, cheese, nuts and whole grains, I don't gain weight.

I took Prednisone for several months and had awful side effects, weight gain, horrible mood swings, etc. After I lost the weight, I noticed that my body weight had shifted. I used to have huge thighs and B/C cup breasts. Now I have normal size thighs for my height and weight, and D/DD breasts.

I am 5'1" and weigh 105 at age 24. Until this year I weighed in at around 95. I think I look better, and so does everyone else if they even notice a weight gain. My only issue is my stomach is no longer pancake flat, although it is still in the "flat" category, and my jeans/shorts/pants from a year ago no longer fit. I gained weight evenly and finally developed hips and a butt, along with a slight increase in my mid-section and chest. I'm happy with my body for the most part, but clothes no longer fitting is hard, as that has never happened before. Oh well I suppose. DH likes the curves!

I'm pregnant with my first. So far I've been really lucky. No nausea and no sickness. I am, however, incredibly hungry. I've gained about 7 lbs and I'm about 11 weeks. I'm not that worried about the weight gain per se (I was not overweight to begin with), but I don't want to gain more than is healthy/recommended. But this hunger is INCREDIBLE. (I'm not eating junk -- just more of everything).

I mostly don't love how I look right now--top of my normal weight range, a bit soft from a couple of months not working out. But for some reason, I feel sexier at the same time. Maybe it's the weight gain in my chest area...

So i had a bad binge yesterday and my weight is up 3lbs. To the people that say it's not true weight gain i want to ask: how do i get it off asap? Because ordinarily it takes me roughly 1.5wks to lose 3lbs.

Food equals weight gain. It doesn't matter what the food is, if I'm eating I'm not loosing weight. I know I've stuffed my metabolism but I'm fatter than I have ever been in my life and so unhappy. I never thought I'd be chubby.

I have learned through MFP that my weight during any given month swings up and down considerably. But, the trend is going down and I've lost 13 lbs so far! Before I realized this, I would give up when I saw a weight gain. Now I know it's only temporary. My body is weird!

Age has nothing to do with weight gain. I put on 5 kgs in 3 months.

Love the depo shot! I haven't had a period in over 13 years! No weight gain, no moodiness! The link between questionable bone density and depo shot has been disproven! Love the depo shot!
