Nope. No birth control for the possible hormone imbalance. Also. .. no sex so I'm not pregnant either.

Even with them being normal? Would it be worth having it tested again?

I had a body composition test done that told me all of these numbers. My BMR is 1420. So, thanks.

Very helpful. Thank you.

I know how that goes, I actually had an ovarian cyst about 10 years ago. The bloating was nothing like now. Now, if I engage my core, I can make my stomach decently flat. With the cyst, I couldn't do that. I do work on abs during my strength training days, so I don't think it's week. I can feel muscles under the layer of…

Yes! Thank you SO much for the positive response. Thing is , I don't look like I lost 45 pounds, but I do feel much much better. I agree with the suggestions on eating more. I'm just nervous on putting on fatty-weight when I was losing so regularly. my goal is to be 150 and lean. I don't mind being this weight either, I…

This sounds stupid, but how do you weigh things? And for what reason? Say, I have cottage cheese, 1/2 a cup is 80 calories so I scoop out half a cup and log 80. Salmon fillets I use are all the same size and say 110 cals per fillet, so that's what I use. I try to mostly eat things where I know what's in it and control the…

I do log EVERYTHING. Just not online.

Notepad in the kitchen. I usually get through lunch and by the time it's supper, well I already know how much I've eaten so I can add it up on there. Some days I fully log in my diary and some days i only do half. I will try better to put it all in the diary on MFP because it will probably help more with situations like…

Woah. At first I thought your comment of googling symptoms of anorexia was really snarky of you. But I did it anyways. A lot of that crosses over. I don't feel like I suffer from that.. But things like : complaining that I'm fat, etc.does apply to me. But, I try to eat healthy and give my body the nutrition that it needs…

I'm terrible at logging food. Haha. Sorry about that.

Thanks! I was told about food allergies but I've never had a problem in the past. I was told they can just randomly spring up so my first step is to try and cut out gluten for a couple of weeks to see if that's the issue. I've never imagined having any type of intolerance and I don't want to go gluten free for the sake of…

My health feels fine though. I mean.. the constipation and stuff isn't fine but I've felt "off" for awhile and keep being told that good diet and good exercise will help with any underlying thyroid, etc. I don't starve myself and I don't binge on junk food. I'm not working myself to the bone, just.. normal exercising like…

You won't offend me! I had gone to the chiro BECAUSE of my poor experience with the physician. I have gone through three and all of them said just work harder and keep at it. I tell them I feel "off" .. things don't feel right. I know my body and I know when something's up. They did a blood panel to humor me I suppose. Now…

I thought this too. So I increased my calories and starting gaining weight. I have an ultra slow metabolism. So I have to be very careful what I eat. If I go over my TDEE.. boom. I start storing more in fat.
