Hi there, I feel my appetite fluctuate with seasons changing and also my mental status. When I lost my baby brother in 2009 and had no job, I lost quite a bit of weight. No hunger at all. I feel pretty much alone in this world and I only have 2 friends. One lives in another country and the other another state. I'm on…

Happy Belated Birthday!!!! Welcome to MFP. I think this is one of the best services offered and reminds me of Weight Watchers in a way, but free! Staying within points without deprivation is what works for WW. I find this is pretty close to that, as long as you track everything that goes in your mouth... I hope you get a…

Hi Cynthia, I turned 61 in October. I have Hypothyroidism and on medication but losing weight is so slow going. No one caught this disease and I gained like 45 lbs. in 1 1/2 years. I hate it. You are doing so well. What is your secret?? Robin

Wow, you are doing great!!! I am clueless at this point!

Loving food is not my issue. I can go all day without eating, but I know that's not healthy. I have diabetes and hypothyroid, which my primary doctor didn't catch until I gained 40 lbs over 1 1/2 years. I finally went to a specialist. Now I am trying to find the right dosage of medication for my thyroid issues. I am always…

Welcome Marnie, I am a native NYer as well but live in AZ now. I am basically starting from scratch again. Not motivated to exercise is my problem. I used to be addicted to exercise back in the day but I think my problem is all mental. And all my weight is belly fat. I have a beer gut and don't even drink, LOL.…

Please refresh my memory on how to do a friend request!!!:sad:

Gosh, your post sounds so familiar except for the divorce part. I gained like 40 lbs in 1 year and my primary doctor never said a darn thing. Finally I brought it up to her because she wasn't being proactive with me. No one gains that much in one year!! I took matters into my own hands and saw an endocrinologist. He was…

I'm so sorry that you are getting negative feedback from people. It's very hurtful I'm sure. I am my own worst enemy. I get down on myself so I get frustrated and blow it all to pieces. I have been thin all my life so needing to lose 40 - 45 pounds is driving me crazy. I get frustrated easily because I was diagnosed with…

Hi Michelle and welcome. I think this tracking device is a great tool. Unfortunately I've been on a roller coaster ride for the past year. I am trying to get back into exercising and eating right. Right now I am at my highest weight and I feel sick about it. I also have Type 2 diabetes and Hypothyroid. I just went in and…

Hi Becky5Pal.. I live in Phoenix as well. Howdy neighbor. I, too, have Type 2 Diabetes and Hypothyroidism on top of that. I gained 40 lbs in ONE year. My primary doctor was clueless until I yelled at her, "I gained all this weight and you never say anything. What the hell???". So I went to see an endocrinologist who…

:brokenheart: I was really saddened by your story and totally can relate. I will be 60 in October and have lived my whole life not feeling good enough. You are only 20 and can turn your life around. Please, stop vomitting. You will burn your esophagus and much worse. It's not the answer. When I was your age I was called…

Wow Terri, I feel your pain. Do you live in Canada by chance? I am so clueless about Hypothyroidism. I read a lot about it but I get so confused. As long as my Endocrinologist is happy about the numbers than so am I but I still don't feel right. I also have diabetes Type 2, was born Celiac but they are not sure I truly am,…

Hi and sorry I haven't responded up until now. I don't know how to add people as friends. Got advice? I was using Mega-T Green Tea. It's not FDA approved but took my appetite away. I lost 10 lbs and was so excited. I have back problems(on disability) and broke my right ankle a few years ago. It has a plate and screws in it…

I too am on disability for lower lumbar issues. And about 8 months ago I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I had gained like 40 lbs in a year and a half which baffled me because I am a vegetarian and diabetic. So I went to an endocrinologist and he told me about my hypothyroidism. He has me on medication which has finally…

Tired of comparing myself to those dang Victoria Secret models on t.v. that are probably only 16 and they make them up to look older. Gets me every time.

I can't wait to stop looking like a 59 year old pregnant woman. Back procedure a week from Friday and hopefully can start working out again. Also need to build upper body strength and get rid of my "wings". I also want to be happy with myself physically for once.:smokin:
