Yes, I was more than 85 lbs. overweight and I had a very irregular period - like months in between periods. I went to the doctor and she gave me something so I'd get my period again, but it only worked for about 2 months and she didn't talk to me about losing weight even though we both knew I was way overweight. A few months later, I decided to enter a half marathon and began training and getting active. After a month or so of training and losing just 9 lbs., my period returned. It's been regular ever since and I've lost about 45 lbs. so far. I'm working on the last 40 and will be running my first marathon in a couple months. Best thing I ever did was enter that half marathon.

I just recently saw my doctor for this same question and she said it is totallt possible for an overweight or obese woan to have irregular periods or even have no periods at all. She said it is still possible to get pregnant but would not recommend it due to the stress it could cause to both mother and child.
