A member asked:
My friend is under a lot of stress and is over weight her period has been off and on for the past couple of days. is this because of stress?

See below: there's no doubt there's enough information that shows that stress does cause weight gain. However, some people lose weight under stress. I suggest she see her physician or her obstetrician-gynecologist for follow-up.
