me=discouraged.
It is hard after all the work I put in last week and working out harder than ever on tuesday to see the scale go up. I am eating more, but still with in my points, I think (besides emotional stuff) because my period is hanging on for another week.. I am thinking the medicine they gave me didnt really effect my body but to stop it for a few days and then slow it down for a couple weeks but now it is right back where it was in January. I am thinking this must be why I can't get the numbers to move the way I want them to. I am tempted to go a second go round of medicine to see if that works and my body just happens to remember "oh I don't need to bleed still! duh!" I will do the second go round for the meds and if no improvement I am taking out the stupid iud and saying whatever i guess sex does have to have barriers. lol. With my luck though, that won't be the issue and I will have to pay to have it put right back in. After a couple months of hesitant sex. Though technically the last hesitant sex I had was pretty amazing so.. maybe I shouldn't be so down about it.
Whoa Nelly--TMI! I know, I know. It's just if the period issues are caused by my weight it makes me want to lose it even more. (besides to be healthier and whenever i get to have a baby to be a good pregnant mommy--it seems so far away too hence the discouragement).
So unless I change my mind tomorrow I start stupid pills *grumble grumble*
Tonight though! I am going to the gym, hopefully it will be my second day going for an hour :) and strength training! Yay for Fridays that take place on thursdays :)

I feel your pain in regards to working your butt off and the scale going up! It is super crazy. If I read it right: you think that the IUD is adding to your weight gain? I had a mirena IUD and thought the same thing but when I had it removed: NO Dice. I was so bummed, and ashamed that it was me and not that IUD that made me bigger. However, everyone's bodies are different and maybe your body will rebound better once you take it out. However, for me: I wish I kept it in. I am losing weight now with hard work and hope to have more kids but not right now while that IUD and added security is gone. Good luck though!

I have the paragard, so no hormones, it shouldn't be affecting me at all. However, since I got it, (almost 2 years ago) my period has been out out of whack--and it wasnt so bad the cramps and heaviness, but then last summer my period didnt go away it didnt have the cramps--but it was always there--and they have been trying medications and such to make it stop, and at first it worked, but the last go round wasnt as effective as the first. And I kind of wonder if it is the IUD causing all this.
I think though having my period the last two weeks has something to do with this standstill and weight gain. I mean I know I am not eating the best of foods, but they are with in my points and technically you would think if you are eating a limited amount of calories a day you would still lose? and then adding exercise should make that loss greater--but perhaps my logic is askew?
Have you thought about getting a new iud? i am thinking if it is not the paragard that is causing it maybe i will switch over to mirena. after i go without for a couple months just to see if that helps.

I highly recommend the Mirena. It stopped my period for years! I miss that very much. I have thought about it. But, I do want more kids. My first child will be out of the house before I am 40 which is a nice feeling. I want to be a young mom: so I better get on it again but... hesitant to do so right now, maybe I will try again in August (at that time I should have lost a lot of weight and have control on exercise and diet to maintain most during pregnancy). Anyway, after that YES I will go back to the mirena! Like I said, highly recommend it.
