thyroid/bloodwork/can't lose weight

Do you track all of your food? Do you weigh and measure it?

When do you typically go out to exercise? Originally, I did exercise in the afternoon but that was when I did track last year and I burnt a TON of calories because it was 2-2 (1/2) hours of running and sprinting. A lot more calories out than in so I could afford

I couldn't do track this year because I had to focus on my grades so I gained a lot of weight back even though I burnt more than I took in because the next morning I'd eat back yesterday's net calories.

So the time of day is also a big factor.

As for your metabolism, try checking your how much you sleep. Sleep helps with metabolism.

Also have you gotten any diagnosis from your doctor yet? It sounds like you have hypothyroidism. If he has, has he suggested levothyroxine. It's a pill that people like myself who suffer from it take to make up for what cannot be produced. If you need any help or questions about hypothyroidism, talk to your doctor and there are many people here, including myself who you can message.

Maybe if you opened your food diary people could help out a bit more. It's hard to say what might be going on with any sort of certainty if you don't let people see your diary.

Lots of possibilities.....do you take measurements of different body parts regularly? Sometimes you won't see much (or any) scale movement, but your measurements will be decreasing.

You could have some sort of hormonal issues, it could be your medications, it could be all sorts of stuff. But it seems like the place to start would be with your food intake and logging. You say you measure all your food and weigh sometimes. You should really be weighing everything, all the time...particularly since you're having trouble losing weight right now.

ETA: I just saw your comment regarding Metformin...why did the doctor want to prescribe it if there isn't anything wrong with you?

Open your diary to help us take a look at what may be happening. It's really hard to tell without seeing that. Sometimes people don't lose because they actually aren't eating *enough* with all the exercise.....

I am hypothyroid and fought my doctor for over a year. I knew I felt awful and that my thyroid was off, but he kept doing the bloodwork and it kept coming back in the normal range. I had had enough and requested to be seen by another endocrinologist. The new endo told me that some thyroid patients have normal levels but function better on the lower end. So he tweaked my dosage just a little and I had incredible changes. On top of having my dosage changed, I also began Yoli's Better Body System. Between the two, I have been able to lose almost 30 pounds that I'd put on over the course of 1 1/2-2 years. I now have tons of energy and feel great - human!! Good luck!! I was in your shoes and know what it feels like to think you're not being heard! If you are interested in the Yoli System, I can get you more information as well.

How much do you eat? Even eating clean can be too much - or too little...
I'm in my 40's was doing P90X six days a week and eating 1500 calories - nothing lost...After (and before P90X) I ran 3x per week, did heavy weights 3x per week on 1400/1500 cals...Still nothing....
Took a break, started walking 10000 steps during the day, cut down on running to 2 times a week and lift heavy 3times a week - and am eating beween 1700 and 1900 cals a day - more on weekends (at least one day per weekend around maintenance (2400) and the other daey around 2000...
And I lost 5 lbs in the last month - for the first time in more than a year....
It can be done - maybe cut down on the cardio.....
