I`m 30 years old, and currently i`m really depressed.

Last June i was a bit sick and started walking + started to evoid food like sweets, dairy products and biscuits. Used to eat everything at small portions and managed to loose 12kilos in 3/4 months. I was doing very well and i was really pleased for the first time in my life!

A month ago i had an ultrasound cause i was having lots of abdominal pain and found to have PCOS. My doctor gave me Yaz BC Pills. In only 6 days (and i`m not exagerating although i wish i was) my breasts went up 1 full size. I had just went down 2 sizes!!! Spent 3 days crying over it... now after like 18 days taking it i`m noticing that i`m gaining some other weight as well.

I go for a 1hr and 30min walk day in day out (cause i work day in day out) but during the past 9 days i was on leave and walked every single day. Nothing changed, i didnt lose 1inch of fat!!!

Anyone ever experienced this? Please help as i`m really sad about it at a point that i`m getting depressed.

Thanks

why don't you try getting into a stronger work out? like instead of walking for 1hr. try dancing for 20mins or weight lifting for 40mins. even running for 10-20mins. A medical condition is hard to curve without medical help but at least the work out will help you feel more energetic and confident.

You gained a bra size in 6 days? ... pcos and bc pills both can have an effect on weight.. I know... gosh do guys have to go through ANYTHING?! (just kidding)

After about 3 months on my new BC my weight became more controllable and now I don't have problems with weight gain. Hormones are so annoying...Ask your doctor if it will take time for your body to adjust.

Oh and depression causes weight gain too love. Try doing something that you really like to do to take your mind off of it for even a little while.

Hello Aine,

Most women start off by walking but soon find out you would have to walk a crazy amount of time to actually affect weight loss. Remember, for every pound of weight you want to lose you must create a caloric deficit of 3,500 calories. If you walked at a relatively brisk pace for an hour and a half it will take about 10 days to lose 1 pound. True weight loss starts at the plate. Keep a food log and record EVERYTHING you put in your mouth. Drinks, food etc. You will find that there is an imbalance in what you eat and what you burn. You can also calculate how short or long it will be to lose the weight. If you want help just let me know!
