Can't lose weight despite exercising
Posted: 01-14-08 15:21pm

I can not find any answers anywhere as to what is wrong with me. I am overweight and despite heavy exercise 3 times a week, I can never lose an inch of fat off my waist. It is so frusterating. I eat better than my average weight siblings and exercise as much, if not more. I am almost always fatigued and exhausted, and get sick way too often. Most of the time I just feel like crap. I get headaches ALOT and quite a few migraines. My body temperatur is always a tad below normal too. I am worried, I have been getting worse, not better. Is it possible that I am just destined to be fat forever? I need answers or my life will no longer be worth living if I feel and look like crap all the time.

Oh and I'm allergic to many things as well.

Have you been to the doctor?

Thyroid Hormone Levels
Posted: 01-14-08 16:57pm

make sure to get your thyroid hormone levels checked. how old are you? what do you do for a living? are you stressed about something?

these things can all play a huge part in your body's energy level, weight, and resistance to illness.

I've been to the doc, oh, maybe a dozen times in the last YEAR. I am only 16 years old and yes I am more stressed, high school is so f**king ridiculous these days, than even my dad-and he's a high-profile lawyer. I thought about thyroid levels, i think you're right; the next step should probably be to see an endocrinologist.

Thanks
