  1. you dont have to have skinny arms and legs i dont . you do have a hump i see.
  2. thyroid , cushings, growth hormone to name a few that can gain weight. What i have found is that eating very low carb and high protein can work for a while, but not long lasting i managed to lose 4 stone on low carb and still have all the other problems . It means that if you do have cushings or thyroid condition you have to work extra hard to keep it off .IM afraid that scotland is not the best place to have this condition i have been fighting for years for a diagnosis , i got so fed up of them saying eat less exercise etc etc etc , so now here i am had gastric sleeve a month ago, extreme way to prove i dont over eat , also before i left the hospital i gained 16lb in 4 days , almost had heart attack Bp and blood sugar high and low all over the place and still nothing, and no weight loss heavier now than before operation , i gave up hope with them years ago . anyway hope you have better luck jo x
