Unexplained Sudden Weight Gain over 6 monthes

Hey guys....
This is my first post here and I am desperate. Over the past 6 monthes I haver gained 20+ pounds and I can't find a sigle reason why. My pants aren't fitting anymore and I feal like crap most of the time. My diet hasn't really changed at all. My activity hasn't really decreased either. I am not sure what is causing this unexplained weight gain, but everyt 1-2 weeks I jump up anoterh 2-3 pounds. Does anyone here know what might be causing this. I would really love any help on this matter.

Thank you

hi qtmike, welcome to the forum I don't know how old you are but this could have something to do with hormone-changes. I know this is right for both men and women. However women suffer from it more.

I am a man in his late 20's

Then the hormone cause can pretty well be ruled out. Are you taking any medicines? That also could be the cause for sudden weight gain sometimes.

I have had sudden weight gain as well. On other websites, there is a suggestion that it could be thyroid related. But I havent gone to see my doctor yet. i will soon

Yes. It certainly can be thyroid related. Thanks for bringing this up, Eaglevision.
