You're doing all the right things-eating a balanced diet and
exercising daily-and you're managing to fit it all in despite your
busy schedule as a wife, mother and friend. But try as you might,
those stubborn pounds just don't seem to budge. You may feel frustrated at
the stalemate with your weight loss, but Debra Proulx, RN, director of GMC's
Center for Weight Management, shares three sources of weight gain you may
be overlooking:

MEDICATION. Common prescriptions, ranging from antidepressants and
blood pressure regulators to oral contraceptives and diabetes medications, can
impact your ability to lose weight. If you are on any of these medications, you
should talk to your provider to see if there is an alternative treatment option.
SLEEP. When you skimp on sleep, your energy levels aren't the only thing
paying the price. In fact, sleep can impact your ability to maintain a healthy
weight in several ways, including your motivation to exercise. Sleep also
impacts your body's regulation of ghrelin and leptin, two hormones that help
to control fullness and appetite.
UNDIAGNOSED HEALTH CONDITIONS. "There could be a health reason
why you aren't losing weight," says Proulx. If you aren't losing weight, be sure to
ask your provider if there could be an underlying health condition that's leading
to increased weight gain. ■
When it comes
to achieving and
maintaining weight
loss, everyday
choices make a
major impact.
But often, weight
loss takes more
than eating a
healthy diet and
