Weight loss is an easier task than weight maintenance. Ask successful weight loss warriors, and they'll verify the fact that once the weight comes off, it's a lot harder to keep it that way. But what if there are other issues at play - other issues like hormonal imbalances that sometimes arise from improper diets and over-training? Hormones not only monitor the presence of fat in our bodies, but also help in the smooth functioning of daily physical processes. Here's looking at how hormones are linked to weight gain and what you need to know if your weight refuses to budge no matter what you do. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
