I am so frusturated. In the last year I have gained 20 pounds and 2-3 inches everywhere! And I have been eating better, drinking WAY more water, and walking. But I continue to gain weight! WTH?!?!?!?!?! Sigh ... I might not fit into my dress if this keeps up.

I am so sorry you are gaining instead of losing. Have you talked to your dr about the fact that you are gaining despite eating better etc? I hope you start losing soon so you will fit into that dress. Despite the lack of weight loss do you feel better since changing your eating habits??? I hope you at least have that benefit. Good luck.

No I have not. I am thinking that I will make an appointment though. I need to make my yearly gyno app anyway. Maybe I will ask him about it then. See what he thinks and if I should go see my family med doctor. Of course last time they didn't see eye to eye. LOL My gyno was freaking because my blood pressure was elevated. My family med doctor said it was only mildly elevated and that he was not to worried about it. He told me to lose 10 pounds and try the DASH diet to bring it back to normal. That is one of the reasons I love my doctor. He never looks at me as a fat women. I am just a person seeking his advice. He lets me know that I need to lose weight but he is not a jerk about it. Ya I will try and make an appointment Wednesday when I have some time.

sounds like you have a nice dr. Mine is the same way, only I am the one pushing the weight loss. He agrees it MAY help my breathing and back. I guess cuz I didn't look like I was almost 260 lbs he didn't think it was that big of a deal. I hope to impress them with my weight loss when I go back...LOL
Good luck to you in finding your answers. '

I work in a group home. Most of my clients are on diets. So ya I am pretty used to counting calories and portion control and so on. Yes I am and I guess it is not helping me much. Sigh .... lol
