I'm with you all too. BMI is roughly 23. I did get up to 140ish first year of college, but that only lasted 6-7 months at most. I couldn't let myself get any bigger than that. Even at that point I felt so disguisting and depressed. I average 123 and I have to say that I'm currently about 130ish (which isn't fun either).

I do not have very abnormal hormone levels. My Ob/Gyn did say (I think) that my testosterone is a bit high, but all others are normal. No thyroid issues. U/S shows I have "normal" follicles, supposedly (but can't seem to get pregnant). I do have excess facial hair and had excess acne (which has amazingly cleared right up over the past 3 months or so). The excess hair is the most annoying part. I do not have regular periods as mine range from every 2 months to every 6 months, but I've never went longer than 6 as some girls have. On average I'd say they're about every 3 months.

Other than that I'm fairly healthy! I try to exercise regularly and my DH and I eat lots of fruits, veggies, ALL whole grains, lean meats, and other good protein sources. We do like to spluge now and then (once or twice a month) like tonight we'll be having pizza with friends for the Wings Stanley Cup playoffs! GOOO Wings!!!

So yes, I do wonder why I have this issue. I'm healthy and normal! Obesity, Diabetes and PCOS do run in my family though through my Dad's side VERY heavily. I bet that's my source, but as I've mentioned I'm neither obese or diabetic. I don't even have IR.

So, just letting you know I'm with ya'll!!
