Thank you!!! I have been so confused. Literally making myself sick looking for the correct answers. It really just gets me down because a ton of friends doing juice fasts and shakeology and losing weight like crazy while I am instead being active, actually chewing my real food and nothing. It's becoming obsessive and…

Thanks for the advice. I do eat back my exercise calories and actually last week noticed a 3 pound difference. I was so excited and could get my regular clothes back on! The next day I was back at over my starting weight and couldn't get into the clothes. I am ready to give up. I know this sounds weird but I have ibs and…

Hi thanks for the empathy! I'm 5'4. 132 pounds. But can't get below it. I gain if I eat literally anything over 1200 cal I've always been between 120 and 125. 125 is my goal. And everyday when I finish tracking it says "if every day were like today you would weigh 122 in 5 weeks. " that was months ago of starving. Fitness…

Thank you for your help and support! I'm sorry you have had problems too but it's helpful to know I'm Not the only one

Thank you! I think that's what I need to do. I was at my gyn today and they pointed out my weight gain and didn't believe I was watching calories and working out. Then she felt my neck and referred me to an endo!!

That's the problem. I AM gaining (despite what my little ticker thing says). I had to buy bigger shorts today. Third time since may. I know at 5'4 a few pounds is very visible and I'm not overweight on the BMI scale but this is still horrible

An endo won't see me without a referal. I'm so frustrated. I'm soooo tired, I've been losing my hair, brittle nails, cold feet and hands, extra heavy period, dry skin that's so itchy, painful joints. I actually had an ultrasound done on my thyroid in march after an ent said my neck looked "funny". I had been noticing it in…

Do you have thyroid advice on numbers? Since this started my TSH has gone from 1.2 last May, 2.63 in sept, 3.78 in feb and 4.25 this may. Every doc says that's fine.

I don't eat breakfast and eat as little as possible at lunch so I can eat a meal at dinner. Could that be hurting me? I find if I eat breakfast or lunch i am just hungry all day. If I skip those meals I am not ravenous at dinner

I weight myself twice a day and yes do fluctuate but even ignoring the scale numbers my clothes don't fit. That's my main concern.

The 4 pound loss is wrong not sure why it's saying that. I've been doing this for 6 weeks. I am 5"4. Age 29. Female. The 1200 calories was set after I entered my info. I do weigh my food and when I eat out for work use the restaraunts nutrition guide to make sure I'm accurate. It's like I'm extremely bloated now

That's exactly how I feel! I can't starve myself and if it is digestible and not causing extreme pain and I can live normally I'm okay with that. It's all just so frustrating.

I do log every single thing I eat and drink and actually was following a meal plan from a dietician where I follow the American Diabetic Association food exchanges. I do seem to have a craving for carbs but I don't really eat them. It is quite hard though when a salad makes you be in extreme pain but a potato won't. I…

Thank you! I found a FODMAP diet and my GI doc said it was "worthless" but I decided to try it anyway starting today. It seems to be pretty common on the internet. It's nice to hear advice that isn't "just eat some tofu and stop being lazy".
