Gained 55 lbs in 8 months all in abdomen05/09/2007 |
Please help me. I am a 47 year old active female. In the last 8 months I gained over 50 pounds all in my stomach. I workout, I eat senseibly, my husband thinks I am very ill because I don`t eat much and my stomach is so distended. This is driving me mad and I get so depressed about this huge stomach. I beg you to please help me. I have always been 5 feet 11 inches with a weight around 150-160. I am starting to get out of breath very quickly.
