weight gain

Dear Excelmale friends, I have been using a 50mgs TRT gel for about two months. My life has improved in a certain way but I have put on weight in a way that it makes me worry. From 83.7 kgs I am now about 88 kgs. It is true that sometimes summer is responsible for this but last year and the...

Just got this blog from Dr. Steven Park, a board-certified ENT doc. It caught my attention due to the fact that I had been steady on CPAP starting about 4 years back with many adjustments since. Cut to: Current time: 25lbs heavier despite same energy (calorie) intake and same, if not more...

I went back on HCG 250IU twice a week. Its been about 5 weeks now and I have put on about 10 pounds. I don't recall this happening in the past. I am curious if others have gained weight on HCG

I’ve been on trt 11 years and all in all I’m doing pretty well. The one thing I’ve always had issues with while on trt is the inability to lose weight and just being more flabby than when I was natural. I’m sure a good deal of it’s water weight because the higher my dose the worse it is. Before...

Just left my PCP's office with a prescription for losartan after several office visits of 150/90 (average daily readings run around 135/85, but there are obviously some spikes). Being my first time to take medication for BP, the Dr. allowed me to choose what to take and, based largely on the...

Hello all! I just turned 50 and just started on TRT 100ml Cyp weekly. I'm four weeks in and feeling better, but adding weight. I've had issues with low calorie weight gain for years, and hoped it was my low T. Healthy diet, between 1300 and 1800 calories a day, up to 2300 some days. About 10...

I have been eating much better and lifting weights and doing some cardio for 8 months. I have made some muscle gains but not really burning much fat around the abdomen. People have complemented me on losing weight though. Scale won't budge either.

Prior to starting TRT two weeks ago I lost several pounds over several weeks. I was averaging about 1 pound per week due to eating clean and going to gym a few days per week. The week I started TRT I dialed in the nutrition even further by tracking macros in Fitness Pal and added a couple of...
