Tired all the time :(

I had a similar problem and my doc recommended Vitamin B. I now take a vitamin b-complex twice a day and can actually move and don't always feel like passing out. Hope this helps a little.

Enough water? Vitamins? You can try vitamin B complex. Listen to your body though for sure and make certain that you are getting good quality sleep. Regarding exercise~ I find I sleep better and more soundly due to exercising. Feel better!

I go through these phases esp. during losing weight. Are you getting enough calories? I upped my calories and feel MUCH better. I lost 30 pounds this last winter, worked out a lot, and did fine on 1200 calories for a while, but then hit a wall. I had no energy and wanted to sleep the day away. I limped along and finally decided to up my calories. WOW...what a diffrence! It was amazing how my body responded to more good fuel! I hurt my back during the summer, however, and eventually gained some of the weight back SO, I'm at it again, but this time i'm eating MUCH more and making sure my NET calories are around 1200 (or more) and I feel SO much better! The thread about eating 2000 calories was a big help. You can look it up in the Search option.

The other thing could be some sort of an allergy? dairy? gluten? You never know, might be something that your body isn't tolerating well.

Good job, though, and all the weight you have already lost!

I encourage you to get a second opinion on your thyroid - an Endicronologist (sp?) is better. A doctor almost killed me not taking my thyroid serious. Your thyroid controls every cell in your body and at your age, if your thyroid is showing a decrease in functioning already, you need another opinion. After I crashed and burned with my thyroid, my sister got hers checked again by another doctor (previous doctor told her she had no thyroid problems) and she did have major thyroid problems. Once it was straightened out, it changed her life. I don't get doctors and thyroid issues. I guess there is no money to made or something. Your thyroid is so important that every new born baby's thyroid is tested. Why - undiagnosed on a tiny baby can lead to mental retardation.

Ugh. O.K. So I am tired, like physically, all the time. I feel like no matter how much sleep I get (5-9 hours depending on the day of the week) I am always so fatigued.

This is a classic CFS (Chronic Fatigue) complaint, but 5 hours is a very small amount of sleep, and as someone else has said it takes a lot to catch up.

I'm sorry that you are tired - especially missing out on fun stuff, because that makes you feel even worse, and more tired into the margin. You seem to be doing the right things though, on here eating a healthy diet, more water, and importantly talking to your doctor. Keep doing this last bit - they need to rule out things which don't show up in blood tests too.

I did notice in our food diary you are taking Oxyelite Pro - Super Thermogenic. I know very little about these, but they do have caffeine in. How long have you taken them - and is there any corolation with the tiredness? Hopeful someone more knowledgeable than me can advise if there could be any link.

Keep looking after yourself

It looks to me like you're not eating enough carbs. I usually get like this when I'm having a low carb day. Try eating some wheat toast/brown rice/oatmeal.
