Missing periods, weight gain... sure sounds like the beginning of it. I didn't used to have other symptoms but as the years went by and no doctor found what was wrong with me, the symptoms got worse.

Low carbing for me is great. I'm doing my own version of it and I keep losing. I did not want to get rid of carbs alltogether. So I have some in moderation. I try to keep it very low during the day and let myself indulge a bit at dinner time. So far it's working. (Thank God I love eggs though!)

I hope your daughter finds her own way with dealing with this. Weight loss is so hard to do, but is so gratifying when you achieve it. Somehow we have to find a happy medium.
