And I cannot do weight lifting (if it requires my chest muscles) at all currently until I completely heal (which can take 6 months to a…

Chronic Fatigue
Hey everyone! I know this has been brought up before, but I'd like some advice on my own situation. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Vitamin D deficiency and chronic fatigue syndrome...all of which make you tired. The issue is working out actually makes me feel worse (even if I am fueling myself properly) and the…

My Motivation? My Mom
I just wanted to share this and hopefully it can help other people too. In 2008, my mom who wasn't even 50 yet, had a stroke, which was linked to smoking, diabetes and a genetic disorder that runs in our family. Anyways, it was tough; she lost weight while she was in the hospital for awhile because of the diet she was on.…

Weight Loss Surgery?
Hey guys, I am an Apple shape and weigh in between 173-175, with a bmi of 27 (5' 7"). The issue that I am facing is that I can't lose in my stomach and can't lose any more weight at all. I used to weigh 200, and then got down to 160, and then I started having thyroid (hypothyroidism) and gained 15 pounds. If I eat 1200…

One Mini-Goal Left!
I am excited. I have dealt with being overnight my entire life, and at my highest point I weight 211. By myself and my own shear power I was able to get myself down to 175 and was working out 6-7 days a week and felt good. We all know that "life happens" and eventually I stopped, gained 10 pounds, and then started a roller…

Plateau and can't get past!
I've been at a Plateanu for more than a month now. I can't seem to get past 173.8 (such an odd number). An ironcially, when I lost weight a long time ago, I wouldn't get past the 170s either. I work a desk job, so I eat 1200 calories a day, and work out after work and usually burn anywhere from 300-600 calories. I eat when…

Can't Eat all of Cals because of medication?
I was considered obese and when I gained a bunch of weight, I had a bunch of thyroid problems that left me feeling tired all of the time. The doctor tested me and put me on medication (I was hypo) to get it under control, which we did and I am maintaining it on medication. The tiredness never left, so she put me on Topamax…

Well, Hello!
I joined at the end of February after I hit what was almost my all time weight high. I originally had weighed 211 in 2009, and dropped 40 pounds, and was working out 6-7 days a week, and life happened, but now I'm back after gaining about 25 pounds back (back up to 200). Since then I have successfully taken off 18 pounds,…
