You could have a thyroid problem, and you should get that checked out to be sure.


You need to find a plan and stick to it. There are lots of things to help you. Atkins works wonders if you are willing to commit yourself (and no, atkins is not just cutting out potatoes and bread. Go to Atkins to figure out how to really do it) weight watchers, south beach, etc.


If you are eating right (and that is a very broad two words) and excercising regularly and not losing weight then ask your doctor for tips.

You could try eating six small meals a day instead of 1-2 or 3 regular size meals. This speeds up your metabolism. You could try atkins, it does work for most people, but you really have to commit and do it the right way. Otherwise, you will gain all of the weight back.


There has been a commercial on t.V late at night for I thing, relacore? It is for "people over 30, overstressed and overweight". I don't know how much it is or if it works, but you could ask your doc.

Definately make an appointment with your doc to decide what kind of diet is best for you and to test your thyroid. That would be the best route. Good luck!

Good advice,angie!You should get a full exam with your doctor to rule out any thyroid or metabolic problems.I have read an article in newsweek 2-3 weeks ago about the stress hormones that our bodies produce and how they prevent you from losing weight.If you can find it,read it.I have found that most doctor's advice on weight loss is pretty generic-"eat less,move more".Look at your doctor-what kind of shape is she/he in??Generally,they do not practice what they preach!You can lose weight,but afterwards,if you do not change your relationship with food,you will regain the weight.You cannot go back to your proir eating habits.If you are used to eating fast food 3-4 times per week,that is not healthy.Yes,i know we are all busy and always moving and going places.Fast food is easy and less expensive than fresh food,but not in the long run.Heart disease,type 2 diabetes and obesity are costing our health care system many billions of dollars.Get a complete physical and get checked out.If you are healthy and get the go ahead from your doc,try adkins,south beach oe weight watchers.Yoga is geat for flexibility,but not cardoi.Tae-bo is a great cardoi workout,between the two you should notice results in 2-3 weeks.If you are still not losing weight,maybe your local park district has some classes on aerobics or step classes?Good luck to you,you can do it!Patty

Are you on any meds? Alot of times people are not familiar with side effects this could be one of them

I agree with the other users the first thing you should do is get a full medical check, I would also recommend writing down everything you eat and drink for a week, you'll be amazed at what you forget to take into account when counting calories. I found it difficult to lose weight without putting it all back on until I joined weightwatchers in july this year, I also started taking moderate exercise, not only do I now have more energy but i've also lost 211bs and am still losing weight without denying myself any of my favourite foods, I just point it all up. I hope you manage to find something suitable for you. Good luck

I recently bought a diet and exercise book designed specifically for women. It has detailed diet plans, as well as exercise plans, and a chart to help you keep track of everything. It's called the ultimate guide to fitness, or something like that. If you're willing to try the diet, it might work. I was going to, but it's got some pretty nasty stuff in it.

The secret to weightloss is its not what you eat its how much.You are an over eater

For the individual that wrote:

"the secret to weightloss is its not what you eat its how much.You are an over eater."

you obviously know nothing about overeating. To make such an oversimplified statement is unresponsible and uninformed. Your statement is the equivalent of telling an alcoholic "it's not what you drink but how much." there are serious underlying causal explanations for such disorders. They can be physiological, genetic, behavioral or most likely a combination of the three.

In our society, we went results and damn it we want them now! Weight loss takes time if you are doing it right- dont give up! Yes, it could very possibly be a thyroid problem- you might want to have that checked out because hypothyroidism can and will slow your metabolism now, and also speed your heart rate up - it doesn a number on your body thats for sure! But, if thats not the case, then keep your spirits up- good things come to those that wait!
