I am not dieting or eating any different than usual- well actually I may be eating even more than usual. I have had my thyroid checked as well as other labwork- nothing unusual has been found. I used to always struggle with my weight- always had about 10 lbs to lose. I had a baby last year and now I am underweight- I am sick of the anorexic and bulemic comments that I get from people at work. I am 5'4" and 105lb and still losing. I don't exercise more than 2-3 x a week- same as in the past. Do you think my metabolism could have changed that much after childbirth?

Have you been checked for diabetes? My brother in law lost a lot of weight before he was diagnosed. It could also be that you are burning more calories than you realize now that you have a little one in the house that you are probably running around after.

Wow...I'd luv to lose weight w/o even trying...but if it's a probliem, then tell ur doc immediately. But something physiologically did change in ur body after childbirth...since u mentioned this wasn't the case b4.

Wow that's kind of strange... i kind of wish i had your problem, but maybe you should stop excercising all together. Be lazy for a few weeks and see if it helps. I've also heard that eating and then going for a slow walk makes you gain weight quicker. I'm not sure if it's true because i haven't tried it.

I know you already had blood work, but I recommend you go back to your doctor and make sure they checked your glucose level. Then ask him/her to do a fasting blood sugar.
It sounds like diabetes.
You may want to see an endocrinologist.

Go see your doctor and have some bloodwork done. It could be a thyroid change or other things...don't second guess - go get checked.

if nothing else no reason not to eat more calories maybe add a few extra carbs . while the MD is trying to figure it out sounds great to me ...
