Endrocronologist said to eat less than 1200 calories
I am totally confused. I went in because I had a low T3 reading. My thyroid is fine but I am still not losing weight, even after only eating 1400 calories. We went over my weight for the last 3 years and it just keeps bouncing from 139-180. Most of the time it is in the 165-175 range. When I eat less than 1200 calories I…

Nature Trails- Hiking or Walking
My family and I went on a 2 hour (2 mile) walk on the nature trails in our town. A small part was rough terrain but the rest was concrete. Do I count this as walking or cross country hiking?

Why did I gain so much weight last week?
Last week was really bad for me but I can't figure out why I gained 3 lbs. I am 5'4" and 173 lbs. My goal is 1400 calories per day or 9800 calories per week. Last week I ate 11,684 calories which is an extra 1884 calories. If it takes 3500 calories to equal a pound then why did I gain 3 lbs with only 1884 extra calories.…

Not sure what I am doing wrong..
When I eat 1400 calories or more I gain weight. When I eat 1200 I don't lose anything and I feel like I am starving. I end up bingeing if I stay at 1200 calories for 3-4 days. Now I have a head cold so that just exasperates my hunger. I have tried to do the tread mill for 30 mins at 3 mph and I just can't do it. My knees…

I gain at 1500 calories but lose at 1300-1400
Why does 100-200 calories make such a difference. At 1300 calories I lose 3 lbs a week. At 1500 I gain 3 lbs a week. Is my metabolism really that slow?
