weight fluctuations

Post Reply New Topic

my weight is being all up and down lately. Over the past month, one doctor weighed me in at 313, another at 309 and the same doctor a couple weeks later at 296. I was put on HCTZ, a diuretic for my blood pressure and it seems to be working well. I thought I've been losing weight on it because I've been weighing myself on my home scale and it appeared as though my weight was going down. I weighed myself shortly after starting the HCTZ and I was down to 290-something. A week later, I was down to 281 which was awesome.

Today I'm back up to 300. I double checked to be sure.

I have been walking and eating better as evidenced by my cholesterol results. They have normalized. The good came up while the bad went down. I wasn't that much off to begin with.

So I'm frustrated and I don't know what to do.

Have you checked for thyroid or insulin regulation issues?

yup. The doc just did a thyroid panel. Checked my blood sugar too. All came back okay.
