I took Phentermine last year and had a lot of success. I am off of it now, and unfortunately gained back some of what i had lost. That however, is somewhat expected. The positive is that i have not gained it all back, i have a gym membership now and i am working to get those additional pounds off. I think having a positive…

Update: In September 2014 when I first wrote this post i was seeking help and several comments were just plain rude. As a result it sent me into tears and I totally gave up. I was in all honesty doing my absolute best at that time and seeking some genuine advice. Fast forward to now last May I decided i would try again and…

your'e right.. I've had under 1,000 calories every day and i feel like crap, but i'm desperate to lose weight.

You know that is very helpful. I do not know that all of my systems are in good shape. They keep testing me for diabetes so the insulin thing may be an avenue I need to pursue. I have 3 leaky heart valves and will need to have them replaced in a couple of years or so they say, I also need knee surgery which I keep putting…

Thanks for your advice. I really appreciate it. Even though it's hard for me to find any time during the week, I can find time on the weekend. I think I'm going to start working out like crazy all weekend that way at least I get some exercise in.

Thank you for your advice. I truly appreciate it. I think all my doc ever does is take my blood and raise my meds. Perhaps I need to find a new doctor. I will do some research to see if there are any specialists in my area.

I can take my lunch hour any time during the day. I take it when school lets out.

To everyone who gave sound advice. Thank you. It was a rough day yesterday. To all of you who decided to cast judgment on me and how hard I try, I'd like to let you know you made a hard day even harder. Congrats on kicking someone when they're feeling down.

I've been doing a ton of hypothyroid research. I found some website that had a calorie calculator for people with hypothyroidism. Not sure how accurate it is. However, I did see results this past summer using that method and the exercise until I hit a pleateau.

Wow. Looking for support not to be knocked down further. I do that enough to myself thanks. Also, I typed that while at work. I think the people around me would think I was crazy if I started doing jumping jacks next to my desk in a skirt and heels. You don't know me or how hard I do try to find time to exercise.

I've been hypo for about 15 years now. I steadily gained weight and they steadily increased my dosage. It doesn't matter what I do or how I eat, I cannot lose weight. My doctor even put me on temporary weight loss meds. They didn't work. The most I've ever managed to lose was 10lbs. I'm trying very hard to lose weight and…
