Weight Gain with Evenity
Some have said they gained some weight when taking Evenity. Any idea at about what shots you noticed this? I am now going to be taking shots #9 and I do notice about a 4 to 5 lb. gain. Anyone else notice a gain in weight and if so, when was it noticeable?

1 Reactionis it possible to lose weight when taking Evinity?
I have posted this before, but Yes I weigh now about 5# less than when I began Evenity (not counting the couple pounds I gained during the first 3 months of Evenity injections). I am 1/2 way through my 8th month. I did not change my exercise routine nor my food choices.

1 Reaction@marcelalondero No, I have not had a lot of side effects. I do have some joint pain that comes and goes between injections. Some days I'd rate it as moderate and others low intensity and some days no pain at all.

2 ReactionsRe: weight gain on Evenity.
I have completed 12 months successfully and at about month 4/5 I noticed some weight gain, about 3 lbs.
I am 113#’s at my low end and 115 # on the higher side.
I could not discern whether my calorie or choice of food intake contributed to this. My daily activity and excerise stayed the same- I am a 5x a week 3.5 mile runner, once a week indoor rower and weights ( 8/10/12/15 pounds ).
I suspect Evenity and my lifestyle contributed.
I have returned to an equilibrium of about 114# and mainly focus on maintaining and increasing my strength to support my bones while trying to maintain my overall fitness. Good wishes to all on this journey!

1 ReactionWas on allendronate for two years without any weight gain. Hope that helps
@findtheanswersdn I was on alendronate for over five years and did not gain weight. I gained weight on the anabolic meds (Tymlos and Evenity).
