    I would say a thyroid thing as I too have gained a load of weight around my stomach & I have always been underweight. Hardest part now is trying to lose it :(

    It's a low thyroid thing. I read somewhere that when the "housekeeping" function of the thyroid goes slow like everything else, then what can't be eliminated gets put into cells for storage, the equivalent sweeping it under the carpet!!! I wish we could all achieve optimal thyroid function from whatever direction. We would all be perfectly us.
