    You really need to get your thyroid checked by a doctor. If it's enlarged you almost certainly have hyper or hypothyroidism. Please get checked out, if severe enough it could be life-threatening.


    Just wanted to chime in about the thyroid. Mine has been enlarged since puberty. Every time I visit a new doctor they freak out and announce that this is why I'm overweight and they immediately run a full panel of whatever lab work they do. It always comes back within normal limits. I have no symptoms of a malfunctioning thyroid either.

    I will continue to have it checked in case a problem arises as I get older. But I just wanted to give some anecdotal evidence that an enlarged thyroid is not necessarily a medical condition that can negatively affect weight loss (just check my ticker!). :smile:

    Also, Dances with Wow, when you use such flowery, poetic language to try to describe scientific phenomena, it makes it difficult not only to understand you, but to take you seriously. Just a thought. :flowerforyou:

    It's actually not impossible. I didn't believe it when I first heard about it either. I'm trying to access actual peer reviewed medical data, but having a hard time doing anything from my tablet. I don't pay attention to anything but peer reviewed research and don't like journalistic magazine articles. I'll post the info when I can.
    Let me save you the trouble

    "But what about the laws of physics? Aragon told me that no such study exists that shows people being overfed and losing weight. What’s more, there is no study in existence that shows people being underfed and not losing weight. Numerous highly controlled metabolic ward studies have shown again and again that macronutrient ratios — carbs, fat and protein — do not matter when it comes to weight loss. Calories are always the common denominator. "

    No diary, no help.

    First, "clean eating" has nothing to do with weight loss. Are you weighing your food? How are you calculating calorie burns? Have you taken measurements?

    I'd like to point out the fact that this is completely wrong. Surely everyone knows eating 400 calories of broccoli is better than eating 400 calories of greasy French fries. Eating like crap will not make you loss weight, even if you are staying in your calorie goals.

    Anyone who thinks 400 calories of broccoli is healthy or even a good idea has never eaten 400 calories of broccoli.

    But let's take your false dichotomy of healthiness a step further. If broccoli is inherently healthy and french fries are inherently unhealthy, please explain to me how a diet consisting of 2000 calories of broccoli is superior to a diet consisting of 400 calories of french fries, 100 calories of broccoli, and 1500 calories of things other than broccoli or french fries.

    Also, if you try this yourself, please video your 2000 calories of broccoli...for science.


    ETA: And for weight loss, there is no difference.

    Well, there might be a slight difference, due to the erm . . . digestive upset caused by the broccoli.

    It's a good thing to get it checked regularly! I have an always slightly hyperactive thyroid but no one says it's a problem, but I still have my thyroid checked regularly because of thyroid history of problems in my family. My mother had thyroid cancer for years before someone finally did something about it because her tests were all normal, so keep on top of your tests and watch for any unusual growth or lumps in your thyroid because tests can be normal but tumors can grow unbeknownst to you. If you can afford a biopsy maybe have that done to be on the safe side.

    I wouldn't wish thyroid cancer on anyone so that's why I'm such a big proponent on proper thyroid care and testing.

    Best wishes!

    Oh, and by they way, the more hooey someone shovels, and the less they're able to back it up with citations to real research, the less credence you should give them.

    Case in point...:
    You are being robbed of indomitable life force ...
    The translator for your calorie conundrum..has to be forward thinking not after the fact. Not in hindsight..You have no verification no validation no authentication what your next move should be.
    You have no concrete data that tells you that the ph+ in your blood plasma is the right environment for the new weight you have forcibly driving down
    This one is complete & utter non-scientific nonsense.
    Your body has several mechanisms to maintain your blood pH within a very narrow range.
    That doesn't change depending on weight.
    Besides that, it's all hyperbole and a ploy to try and snatch another client.

    I thought I entered a mystical land when I returned to this thread. I just wanted to see if OP came back an instead I had a Shaman preaching the ways of protein and shtuff and it's just..mystical.

    He's very wordy and could probably do himself better if he wasn't so poetic. Maybe try hardcore facts and data. That's what we like here!

    You micromanaged every thing you put in your mouth week in and week out.. You back and forth balmed your self, tricked your self, used a battering ram to get your unwanted body fat to obey..and metabolism to cooperate.
    How in the living heck do you "balm yourself"? I suspect it means putting balm all over yourself, and then why would you want to do it with a battering ram? That would really hurt!

    What does balming oneself have to do with weight loss?

    Hello Everyone!! I need help!

    I am currently down 16 lbs but I have hit a plateau. And I did the same thing last month too. I have only lost 1 lb each month (May and June). I eat clean about 90-95% of the time with 6 small meals a day. And if I do cheat, I have like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup or a Frozen Yogurt. I am at the point where most non-clean foods make me sick. I do drink about a gallon or more of water a day.

    I work out 3-4 times a week burning about 400-500+ calories each time. Most of my 1:00-1:30 workouts are weight training with like 20-30 mins of cardio. I am tracking my food with 1500-1600 calories a day and I meal prep (2) days a week so I am prepared.

    I have talked to a few health specialists and I FEEL I'm doing everything I'm suppose to be doing, but obviously not because I can't break this 1 lb per month. The scale hasn't changed, but in a positive aspect, my clothes are looser.

    Any help is would be awesome!!!

    I think that you are drinking too much water, just drink when you feel thirsty, excess water cause.. dehydration, ironic eh? I don't know how is your body, but maybe your training is stressing your adrenals too much, do you sleep and rest properly? you might consider training less, actually, more than one hour is too stressful and will cut your recovery, making you more stressed, and with stress you will no burn fat.

    Anyway, if you are not losing weight BUT your clothes are loser, it could just simply mean that you are building muscle while losing fat, which is a natural process and what happens to you happens to many people. After a while you will end up losing weight again IF this is your situation, give it time, because once you increase your muscular mass, you will naturally burn more calories due to this factor.

    Excess water causes dehydration? I don't think so, though I'd think an overabundance is probably not the best option.

    Also, except for newbie gains, you don't build muscle at all while eating at a calorie deficit, and you don't build muscle while losing fat. It would be nice if it's a fair exchange but it's not.

    My arm muscles got bigger while I lost weight.

    I lift weights because I have to and not because I want to. I don't enjoy it and I don't want be one of those bodybuilder women. I have always been not very strong and I've been okay with it. That's why god invented men, to lift heavy boxes and take lids off jars. (Which is not to say I think there is anything with women who have muscles. They like that, good for them. Certainly nothing wrong with it! And they can probably opens their own jars, so there you go.)

    I didn't want these little muscles in my arms. I wasn't trying to get these little muscles in my arms. I worry that they'll get bigger and one day I'll look like Arnold Schwartzenegger or something. I stopped doing the chest one because a guy at the gym said my boobs would turn into, and I quote, "torpedoes" ... and then my arms got stronger and I'm just NOT taking any chances on the torpedo thing, which the doctor said was okay. He laughed and kind of shook his head, but he was on board.

    I did grow little muscles in my arms, though, while it continued to lose fat. Legs, stomach and back feel stronger, but there is no difference to be seen. Arms, yes. I can see it. :(

    No diary, no help.

    First, "clean eating" has nothing to do with weight loss. Are you weighing your food? How are you calculating calorie burns? Have you taken measurements?

    If everyone paid as much attention to the quality of the food they eat as they do to the numbers on a scale there would be much less need for weight loss. Weight loss is not the holy grail of health and well being.

    True and false. False that eating quality foods would reduce the need for weight loss. You can eat all "quality" foods but eat them to excess and be an unhealthy weight as well as have health problems associated with obesity (like I did). However, it is true that for health and well being it is important to have an appropriately varied diet that includes healthy portions of carbs, protein and fat. . . BUT it is still important to eat within an appropriate range of calories to maintain or lose or gain or whatever an individual's goal is. Nobody can eat above their maintenance and not gain weight just because they are eating "quality" foods. The laws of physics render that literally impossible.

    OP: As it has already been stated, the only way you aren't losing weight is because your eating more calories than your body is using. Weigh your foods, log everything accurately and if you're still not losing weight, reduce how many calories you're eating and reassess in a few weeks. All numbers given for weight loss, TDEE, BMR, etc. are always, always, ALWAYS just estimate. Everybody's metabolism operates at slightly different rates depending on genetics, how much muscle mass, gender, age, weight, etc. This involves quite a bit of trial and error.

    My 51 pound weight loss would beg to differ.

    Your 51 pounds..was the result of consistently meeting your protein number(Pn#) which guaranteed lipolytic enzymes count remain potent..


    Whats makes your 51 pounds a good thing as whole.. is is a number you are proud of.. But the work you wnet through counting day in and day pales in comparison to managing food energy just once a month.

    You micromanaged every thing you put in your mouth week in and week out.. You back and forth balmed your self, tricked your self, used a battering ram to get your unwanted body fat to obey..and metabolism to cooperate..

    You were inthe dark the entire way hoping this calorie reduction was correct..

    You had very little learning relationship with your body except being a prideful documentarian with macros..
    Denying hormones even exist.. unable to look back and think what if..



    I am sincerely delight for your 51poud loss. But I know what you went through backwards and forwards..but I also know what didnt need to go through..

    You know only a basic counting system for a system that exist as way more than basic..

    Calories only works when lypolytic enzymes are at a one to one 1:1 relationship to food energy.. Calories are simply a ticket agent they do not indicate what happens after the stub of the ticket is taken..food energy does..

    That is quite possibly the most hilarious thing I've read on this forum. I don't even have a gif to express the lolz it induces.

    I know a gal who's vegetarian, she's raising her 2 girls vegetarian (dad eats meat, but has to prepare it himself - kosher household, so it has to be separate), and all 3 of them are fat.
    Not just a little overweight, but fat like a balloon, fat like plump sausage, morbidly obese, very unhealthy. (Dad is fairly overweight too.)
    The family is quite rich, so I'm sure they can buy whatever foods they want, and the adults are well educated (dad's a surgeon, mom has a bachleor's), so they're able to understand energy balance & the health problems associated with obesity ... they just choose to ignore it.

    Here's an easy to read article written by a board certified immunologist about the whole acid/alkaline argument:
    http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/coral2.html
    THANK YOU!!!!
    Bookmarked that one.
    Taking calcium supplements or drinking alkaline water will not change the pH of your blood. If you hear someone say that your body is too acidic and you should use their product to make it more alkaline, you would be wise not to believe anything else the person tells you.
    Anyone who tells you that certain foods or supplements make your stomach or blood acidic does not understand nutrition.
    ... no foods change the acidity of anything in your body except your urine.
    The degree of acidity or alkalinity is expressed as "pH."

    I lift weights because I have to and not because I want to.
    I don't enjoy it and I don't want be one of those bodybuilder women.
    Other than being strong & able to do things more easily,
    and being less likely to be injured,
    the best reason to do weightlifting & build muscle is because muscle burns several times the calories fat does, even at rest, so it will help you lose weight.
    I didn't want these little muscles in my arms. I wasn't trying to get these little muscles in my arms. I worry that they'll get bigger and one day I'll look like Arnold Schwartzenegger or something. I stopped doing the chest one because a guy at the gym said my boobs would turn into, and I quote, "torpedoes"
    Unless you drastically over-exercise, and probably take illegal drugs too, you are not going to bulk up & look grotesque.
    Women just don't have the hormones (actual real hormones, mainly testosterone) to do that.
    Most men don't either, which is why the grotesque overmuscled guys are (thankfully) rare.
    (For the record, I quite like looking at a man who's well developed, has sleek muscles, etc..) :love:
    And no, your boobs won't change. The muscles under them will get somewhat larger, which will provide a better base of support for whatever fatty tissue (breasts) is on top of them. That guy is a know-nothing *kitten* and should shut his piehole. :angry:

    This made me LOL:
    That's why god invented men, to lift heavy boxes and take lids off jars.
    :laugh:
    Legs, stomach and back feel stronger, but there is no difference to be seen. Arms, yes. I can see it.
    Have you been measuring your inches?
    Because you should be getting more slender as you build muscle & lose fat.
    You won't see the 6-pack effect unless you get to an unhealthily low body fat percentage, but you will look more trim.

    You look for evidence in all the wrong places..the same way you hold so fast to the notion that the universe according to fat loss and peer reviewed material is all that ends all..
    I look for facts. Show me some. (And try to do it in English, please. That's one reason your stuff is hard to read.)
    Obviosuly I have reviewed the journals..and have more in depth study.. other wise you would not be so dogged to determined to validate you are right and I m worng..
    I'm not the one who has to prove anything about you.
    You're doing a fine job of showing everyone what a huckster you are.
    The information I post, I back with citations to published peer-reviewed research (or at the very least, reputable web sites) so that other people can read it & judge for themselves whether or not it has merit.
    I don't just make flowery assertions and hope that someone is gullible enough to believe me.
    And my insistence that you back up what you say is not proof one way or the other of whether or not you've done any reading, research, had any education about fitness or medicine, etc.
    (Your statements, OTOH, are pretty good evidence that you have not and do not.)
    you wnat data look up endocrine and lipolytic enzyme research. look up lipase secretion, look up enzymatic reactions in mammalian physio-types
    No, sweetie, you're the one making the assertion that your method (whatever it is) works, it's incumbent upon you to back it up.
    Show us proof or go away.
    Stop with the mumbo-jumbo and quasi-scientific crap.
    (OTOH, some people do seem to be getting some entertainment benefit from you, so maybe you should keep trying to put one over on your readers.)
    Ph+ Concentration in blood plasma indeed does trend more towards basic than alkaline
    You can't even get the terminology right.
    It's pH, and labelling it "pH concentration" is redundant, and "basic" & "alkaline" are exactly the SAME THING!! :ohwell:
    waste product.. and the repair process are two seperate enviromnets taking place at the same time..
    Duh.
    Hormones alter based on ionic exchange of fluid..and are always recalibrating at once..you wnat o see it in action go have a salty what ever..this new surge of sodium encourages thirst
    Which has nothing to do with hormones.
    The moment you drink water.. the ph+ in your body alters..enough to become an inhibitor
    Actually, no, it does not alter instantly, and it does not alter appreciably unless you drink massive amounts of water (gallons per day), and what exactly do you think water inhibits in the body?
    Excess fluid can dilute hormones* or electrolytes, but it does not directly inhibit anything.

    * [Which is why for most women, healthy women, there's a very good medical reason to avoid "routine" IV fluids during labor. Just drink water & juices, eat popsicles, fruit, etc.
    Diluting the delicate balance of hormones which drives uterine contractions means you're _slowing_ labor, and in some cases stopping it altogether... which too often leads to the introduction of drugs to artifically cause strong contractions, which often leads to using pain drugs, which means the woman isn't safe to move around, which slows labor even more, and this downward spiral ends in completely unneeded major abdominal surgery when if the woman had simply been left alone, monitored by a midwife, supported by a doula, she would have done just fine.] [/rant]
    But you wont [sic] go and do the research you will just be lazy and in disbelief knowing only how to spout back.
    Again, you're the one making an assertion, it's your responsibilty to prove it.
    Show us facts.

    Here's a good place to start looking: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
    Don't stay up too late.
