    how is your calorie intake? do u drink much alcohol? when you go to the gym what do u do - cardio, weights...

    other than the above i cant think of any good reason for not loosing weight if you're eating well

    do find it odd that the Dr has said that and it's truly unhelpful.

    I personally would see if I could have a work with another GP at the surgery and make sure they are aware of all medication you are taking. Also do you have a mentor at the gym you could also ask questions about ?

    don't know if this will help but I was told not to bother with counting the calories but just to stick to the fat guidelines.

    maybe you could try that for a week and see what happens ??

    you've said your doing weights, i would concentrate on the cardio side of it, the weights might be building up muscle which is compensating for you weight loss. do you feel any different? more toned prehaps.
