Weight gain - discouraged

I lost a ton of weight after having triplets last year. I am still at a very very healthy weight for my height but I put on 5 lbs in what feels like an overnight that I can't shake :( my rings are definitely tight so I am wondering if I can attribute this weight gain to water retention? I also went off nuvaring recently and am wondering if having a "real" menstrual cycle can be causing this. In any case, I am very discouraged. Anyone btdt and put on weight after stopping hormonal bc? Any tips for dropping water weight? Tia!

Re: Weight gain - discouraged

Yes. Happens every month.

I went off birth control awhile ago.

I think I gain about TEN pounds and it doesn't help that I am hungrier and am surrounded by junk food at work.



I try to remain hydrated throughout the day and I also go to hot yoga.

I can also relate- when I was on the pill I had no problem staying slim could eat anything and just never gained weight.
I went off the pill and put on just about 20lbs in under 2 months. I didn't change my eating habits or exercise habits. No matter what I did, I couldn't loose the weight. I have been able to take off about 7lbs of the 20 with INTENSIVE exercise sucks!!!!!!! But i relate!!!!
dropping water weight- try doing detox waters to flush out your system!
