Birth control pills & thyroid condition
| Tue, 10-19-2004 - 4:29pm |
Hello! I am just wondering. I have been off the pill for a few months now and still no weight loss. I exercise alot and try to watch what I eat, but my clothes still fit tight. Someone told me that you can actually get a thyroid condition from being on the pill. Is this true? If so, what kind of test does your doc. do to determine that and if you do have this and are put on meds. Will that help your metabolism get back to where it was? Thanks!

What _is_ common, though, is to have weight loss get harder and harder as you get older! I'm suffering from this right now, it seems, or it's the time of year... You might think about a few sessions with a personal trainer to make sure that you're exercising in the best way for your fitness goals, and sometimes a food journal can help with those dietary pitfalls that lurk out there unbeknownst to us! Little things like cream and sugar in your coffee can add up if you aren't careful.
Good luck! Weight loss can be a daunting task....if you need support, we've got a whole Diet & Fitness channel here at iVillage and a Fitness & Health board at iVillage Health--they're wonderfully supportive communities!
