[quote=Anonymous]Similar situation here. Had several miscarriages in between first and second child during which I’d gain weight and then stay at the higher weight. When I finally got pregnant with my second child, I started the pregnancy a solid 15 pounds above the weight I’d maintained fairly easily for years. I gained almost 40 pounds with second baby and although I managed to lose most of it, I was still 15-20 above my prior “normal weight.” I watched what I ate and was physically active but nothing changed weight wise. I got used to my new higher weight and fortunately I am tall so I didn’t look bad but I also didn’t feel great. Fast forward to peri-meno and I’ve now picked up another 10-15 pounds. Got serious about dieting and calories restriction, strength training, quit alcohol. Nothing. If anything I gained weight. Was debating going on the shot and internist did bloodwork and found that my thyroid had essentially gone on vacation. Since I’ve started on medication, I am now seeing movement on the scale. It’s extremely slow and frustrating, but there is some change. I also started HRT (sounds like you are too young for that).

Anyway, I would be wary about doing something like the carnivore diet and focus on talking with your doctor about figuring out what’s going on with insulin or thyroid. Also talking with them about the possible why’s for GLP didn’t work.[/quote]
