LOL... that's interesting. I started putting on body fat and weight since September; ate the same, did everything the same, but put on weight. So, I know how much difference six months can make. SIGH. I am the heaviest I have ever been and nothing fits me anymore. Gained 10 lbs.! Now I am dieting and hating life because I…

Wow, you look amazing. Sorry, not part of the original post, but I just had to ask... how long did it take for you to get to that lower body fat?

Thank you for your feedback; I drank a glass of wine and feel a bit better... I am a light weight, so one glass of wine is tipsy for me. :) I have a hard time getting all the protein I need in a day; I used to be a vegetarian, and can't bring myself to eat a lot of meat. Any suggestions on how to increase protein in my…

Thank you all for your advice; I will take it all in consideration and go see a doctor.

The work outs I am doing are: running/walking at 12 m/m (I know, slow, I am working on that) three days a week. I do squats/lunges/deadlifts twice a week; ab ribber by P90X three days a week; upper body weights twice a week.

I don't understand the concept of "eating back my exercise calories"? I thought the point of exercising is to increase the deficit? I try to stay below 1600 every day. When I exercise I usually, not always, have a larger deficit; my daily exercise is around 350-400 calories.

Yes, I log my food. I log everything, from Whey sweetener I put in my tea, to the handful of almonds that I eat between meals. I was a vegetarian for years, so eating protein is hard for me, I am still a bit weird about eating meat... I am eating more carbs, about 50% of my diet is carbs, but I am not carb counting, I…

Thanks for responding. I am a total loss. I gained four pounds in one day! Yesterday I was 122, today I am 125... that is after one week of 1300 cal/day and six workouts this past week. I am at a deficit and am still gaining? I am hungry all the time. My stomach hurts when I go to bed because I will not eat any more…

I had my thyroid checked about two months ago. Normal T3/T4 but low TSH. Had an ultrasound done, found nodules, had a scan done and was told to just wait and see. I eat some beef, chicken, a little bacon on the weekend and salmon. My usual intake of meat is about three days a week.

I am in graduate school for nursing at the University of Texas @ El Paso (online); received my undergrad in nursing from Penn State University (GO LIONS). I work three jobs and am the sole provider for my family; my husband is in school full time. Oh, and I am trying to lose about eight pounds that I have gained in the…
