Stuck and can't lose

cassiejmiller1981

hello, I've been on here before trying to lose and I can't seem to lose anything. I have some medical issues playing against me (missing half thyroid n had a full hystectomy) and I'm in zero medicine to help regulate any of it due to my doctor stating I don't need to be. I've gained over 80 lbs and may lose 10 but gain it all back. I don't know what to do to lose more n keep it off. I'm very unhappy with myself. Can help would be great. Thanks.

Hi Cassie feel free to add me as a friend. What have you been doing for exercise? I would love to encourage you.

do you track everything that you eat/drink?
and weigh/measure?

EVERYTHING?

I do not weigh/measure. Scares the crap out of me. As for exercise I just walk.

i think your issue likely lies right there.
if you are estimating your intake, chances are really good that you are eating more than you think.

i'd recommend getting a food scale and accurately weighing/tracking your intake.

Go to another doc and get a second opinion! If you only have half your thyroid that may be part of the problem.

Find a New Doctor! if your numbers are off and he wont give u meds he can't be a good doc

I weigh and measure my food all the time. I make sure I record everything even on my splurge days when I know I will blow through all my calories. The minute I don't do this I see the weight starting to come back on. I would also get a second opinion on the thyroid issue. Feel free to add me!
