Re: To Deana:Need Help with weight loss

[Guest guest]

Hi Deana — boy can I relate to your woes. I am 5 ft 4 and weigh about 165 for no reason I can see.

I eat almost no fat, absolutely no fried foods, tons of fish and vegetables, mini meals, I work out sensibly with both cardio and hand weights and floor exercises, I sleep well, am medicated with my thyroid to where I feel it’s a perfect amount – almost 0 TSH, and high T3F and T3F... But — I can’t seem to lose a pound unless I starve myself.

This has been going on 4 years. Four years ago I was 135 and ate what I wanted when I wanted — and did not work out at all.

I am 48 and realize age has SOMEthing to do with it but let’s fact it – there are A LOT of thin older folks out there.

I have had everything I can think of tested --- hair, urine, blood, saliva.

The one thing it keeps coming back to is adrenals. I have high levels of cortisol up til midnight which indicates overactive adrenals which can cause weight gain.

Then there’s carbs. As soon as I eat a carb I gain weight, and if get them out of my diet I lose weight but I can only go so long without carbs, particularly since I do use weights for training muscles.

I DON”T have a clue what you can do – I have tried so many things and I would like to add my plea to yours— WHAT can be done for weight loss at this point?

A fellow sufferer...

Sue

All my life I have been a very tiny person even from birth. Throu my

first two pregnancies I even dropped back down to size 0-3.

After my third child I was up to size 9/10 and found out I had

hypothyroid then. No one treated it properly for about three years.

Now 9 years later I am on Armour thyroid because I haven't had any

success with the synthroid.

I am really on it today. Someone asked at church if I was expecting and

that hit me hard so I went and got a whole body cleanse to get started.

Hi Deana, let me know how it goes.

What is involved in it?

Sorry for the comment in church, too...

Itsa 14 day liver colon toxity cleanse.

http://www.enzy.com/products/display.asp?id=1408 & cpmid=1341

Not selling or promoting anything, this is the first time I have used

this particular brand. So far I like it.

My body isnt digesting food properly so I need to clean it out. This

happens to me about once a year I have to pick up the cleanse and follow

it to get my colon moving properly again. its our day and age with the

food available to us, even making most meals homemade the stuff is not

organic, we can not afford that right now. Unfortunately. So it builds

up like adding glue in the colon.

and guess what, it bloats you out so you look pregnant when you cant

digest properly.. and unfortunately I hate the feeling of sweating

because it reminds me of the hotflashes i got on the endometriosis

prevention shot and when I take to much of my armour at one time.

So a cleanse it is!!

Hi Deana,

Let me know how it goes--I am too chicken to do something that in-depth.

Right now I have been adding apples to my daily intake to help with

digestion and it seems to keep things moving along...

I too need help with weight loss. Two years ago the Dr. said I was borderline Diabetic to lose the weight..So at 200 lbs. and 5'2" I cut out colas, sugar, of course I had already been diagnosed 6 years earlier with Celiac Spru disease and so I had drastically cut out a lot of carbs... The entire family went on Atkins Hubby lost 12 lbs.,and Cheated... Daughter lost 8 , Son gained 2 and I gained 6... I was so Faith full and the rest of the family all cheated... I've tried Atkins.before and.I never quit being hungry, and within 3 weeks I can't pour my butt out of bed, it's just dragging. So now I am diabetic, the oral meds Metformin 850 make me sick, but I''ve not lost any weight. We have 0 insurance, the current doctors say my Hypo TSH is okay, my BP is a little high they want me on meds for that too. The last time I saw them was in Feb. when they told me since I had no insurance I should go to the health

Clinic. So I went the other day for my Pap, and I saw a woman Doc.. she seemed really concerned, but she was from another County, just filling in for the day... She said my uterus was large and seemed full of fibroid, that maybe after menopause they would shrink, but I too have an extended abdomen, and now I wonder how much of the extension is from the fibroid in the uterus... anyone have experience with these? I have a lump, and so she scheduled me for a Mamo on that, but she was hopeful it was a fibroid also. ... Last TSH done 2/10/06. by BIOSAFE at local Albertsons Pharmacy said 3.60ulU/mL ref. Range 0.5 - 5.0 .......8/31/05- BIOSAFE 11.40 Increased synthroid from 1.00 to 1,25 None of the docs hear test the frees, or the Bs or Iron... Right now I'm taking a multiple with Iron, a Super B complex, B-12, my Calcium/D and Magnesium, I'm currently trying the Cinnamon caps to reduce

Blood sugar, but I'm told you have to do that for 40 days before you see any results so I'll let you know after the 40 days. Well enough of my rambling.. Thanks for all the help.. I wish everone well.
