Ht. 5'1", Start: 115 lb, Today: 147 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 120 lb - hi,
i really need peoples help. i have reciently gained over 30lbs. I started gaining around thanksgiving and am getting heavier. my friends and family are starting to notice and comment about my weight. Most of the weight has gone to my belly, which is getting really chubby. none of my pants fit anymore and i just feel really horrible coz i have gained the weight so quickly. some of the weight has also gone to my face, and i have got a little bit of a double chin.
im not a huge weight but i am worried coz i have gained so much reciently and dont want to get any bigger. any help ? advice? or a weight loss buddy would be really appriciated

For most cases, gaining weight is just a matter of taking in too many calories while using up too few, meaning you just need to watch what you eat and be more active. If you can't figure out the reason behind the weight gain, it could be something more medically involved, like a thyroid problem. As for the weight going to your belly, that's just your body; for example, I'm shaped like a rectangle, so when I gain weight, it goes all over my body. Now that I'm losing weight, my legs and arms are thinner but I can't get a very defined waist.

I don't think you're too fat in any way. Just be careful what you eat.

Just to make sure, is the weight gain because of sudden overeating? Or are you not sure of the cause? And if it is overeating, is there something causing it? Sudden change in moods?
