I am so sorry to hear about all of your issues. I wish you all the best. I can't say I know how you're feeling but I've been struggling with some issues as well. I am 26 but have been diagnosed hypothyroid (subclinical if that makes a difference..?) and much like you my weight gain continues even with careful eating and…

5'5 currently 150-ish....goal 130's. Feel free to add

Thank you @Greenrun99. Your estimate for my calories I'm eating now is probably about right. I'm trying to eat more but might have to do gradual increase or eat more calorie dense foods. The food I eat is very healthy and filling, not high calories so I'd have to eat A LOT. Your estimate for how much I should be consuming…

Agreed there are no magic weight loss shakes, but I do enjoy the occasional protein smoothie as a meal replacement after a workout :) I use Sun Warrior protein powder and toss it in the blender with a small amount of water, ice cubes, 1/2 a frozen banana, handful of greens. Sometimes experiment with frozen berries, chia…

I've been a member since November. I LOVE it and highly recommend it. I had the unlimited for a few months but had to bump my sessions down to 8 a month due to my husband isn't working anymore and my 12hr work days don't allow me to attend enough to validate an unlimited membership. BUT I can still make 8 a month and I…

WOW how is working two jobs while raising kids lazy?

I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and had pre-existing iron deficiency. I take synthroid and iron pills. I eat clean and work out 5-6 times a week and I have found it is not any easier for me to lose weight. I've actually gained weight, sadly. I think it varies person to person honestly, some lose weight.

I have several Beach Body programs that I've purchased on my own free will from no particular person. But I can't stand the coaches. Friends I forgot I even had and haven't heard from in YEARS that became coaches all of the sudden step out of the woodworks to let me know their sales pitch. Also, I don't want to hear about…

I lost my gallbladder after losing too much weight too fast....at 17 years old (I'm now almost 27). I should have taken the appropriate precautions to lose it at a steadier pace! Now I am at 150lbs, still 30lbs smaller than my heaviest and would like to lose 15-20lbs, BUT I know better now and I am not in any rush! Eat…

Love games-mostly Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Mass Effect, Bravely Default, sci-fi novels & movies (currently reading Hyperion), the occasional convention, fanart and Copic markers, tea...etc. Trying to lose 20-30lbs fellow geeks :(
