Can't lose weight :(

ambitiousFriend32 June 1st, 2016

I'm very frustrated that I'm not losing weight even though I'm eating well and exercising a lot. Idk if it's the new birth control (implant in my arm) or the stress from my financial trouble and my recent break up. Now that my bf and I broke up, I don't really need the bc anymore. Should I have a doctor take it out and see if I can lose weight?

@ambitiousFriend32 - It could be either the implant or the stress or something else entirely. Weight gain can be a side effect of the implant, but it isn't for everyone, so there's not a guarantee that it's what's been going on. If it is something you're considering, it's worth talking to your doctor about it before making any decisions to see what he/she says about the likelihood of it being related and if it stabalizes with some time. In the meantime, addressing some of the stress in your life or finding ways to help manage that may also help move forward. What strategies do you use today to manage stress?

Calculate the calories. Add exercise. Be more active.

Personally, I'm not so much into weights, but like to do push ups, sits ups, etc. I don't necessarily want to be really toned, but just fit. You can also find some useful tips on ออกกำลังกาย
