Default Puttin g it back on

Well I stuck to exercise over Christmas and the new year, was reasonably good with food (around 1700 -1800cal most days) but am on a different brand of metformin and 6lbs has crept back on in 3 weeks.
I totally accept that eating 300-400 more calories a day will add up to 8400 cals - so 2-3lbs but I can't workout why I have the extra 3lbs.
I found I responded better the the second lot of metformin I was given but pharmacies seem to change what brand of metformin they dish out all the time - could i request it from a specific supplier?

I'm gutted at how much i have put on as it was so hard to lose in the first place. I see my gyn in 3 weeks and at the moment I am the same weight as i saw her in october. I am so disappointed in myself.

Was there holiday eating? If so, sodium can easily account for some water bloat.

If you need brand name only, talk to your doc so they put name brand on your 'scrip.

HTH!
