Losing weight with endo? Tips? Encouragement?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Portland, OR

Anyone have tips for weight loss with endo? I'm at my wits end. I try to work out, but can't very often (busy schedule and endo pain doesn't help) I eat really well and still can't lose weight. If anything I gain some! Any tips? Thanks

Have they looked into PCOS? That causes insulin resistance and weight gain/trouble loosing weight. They put me on glucophage and I lost 30 lbs thanks to it getting my insulin in check :)

Have you had your thyroid fully tested?

Ive only just been diagnosed so I don't have any tips! However I know how you feel as I have not lost any weight for over a year even when trying to! Keep on trying though I'm going to. I've just gone gluten free - maybe this will help!
