Avatar n tn I just wanted to congratulate you on the weight gain. I sense that it was a huge achievement for you. And something you're rightfully excited about. Consistently managing to eat small meals will also help with your confidence and self-esteem. Just a thought about the cardio. That may be something which may help you better manage the stress which could be a good thing. Just be cautious about any further weight loss though. It sounds like you're getting there. Keep up the good work.
Avatar f tn I'm 197 pounds now and 5 ft 3, so I'm kind of curvy at the moment but I havnt put on a pound yet and I'm nearly 9 weeks. I'm hoping not to put any weight on for a little while.
Avatar m tn It can lead to binge eating and weight gain. It is an eating disorder and needs to be corrected. I will advise you to lose or gain weight in an ideal way through proper diet and exercise. Best wishes!
Avatar f tn I'm 30 wks today & I've been swelling a lot over the past week. My feet had swollen up so much that my feet hurt and I can't fit any of my shoes at all!!! I've been elevating my feet as instructed and I thought I was eating pretty well (minus the couple of McDonald's fries splurges). But, I'm scared that when I go to the doctor Monday that he's going to put me on bedrest. Not only are my feet swollen, but my legs, hand, and it's in my gave as well!!!

Avatar f tn That being said, the reason most of us put on weight is because the hypothyroidism makes you too tired and lethargic to get out and get at that exercise thing. Ask Stella5349 about diet. She's got it down pat as to why people with hypothyroidism suffer with their diet choices...
1661682 tn?1313135396 It is going to vary for every woman. I put on a TON of weight during my first pregnancy, even when I was eating healthy and walking, I retained a lot of water, I am hoping this time around it is less. Some women will only gain 20 lbs. the whole of their pregnancy. Some women get a lot of morning sickness so they don't gain much, some women go crazy and eat everything and put on a lot of weight. If you start out underweight the Dr.
Avatar n tn Weight becomes an uphill battle with hypothyroidism. Has anyone lost weight on cytomel? What will it take to lose weight while having hypothyroidism and being on cytomel? I know the side effects of cytomel includes weight loss......but how much time do you have to be on cytomel for to start seeing those side effects? I can use any help on this. Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn My doctor described it to me as my body taking the fat I already had and repurposing it to suit the babys needs. Now that baby is putting on more weight himself I am gaining weight again. I was like this my previous pregnancy too, I lost 45 lbs before gaining back 6 by the time I delivered. I don't think it's anything to worry about but you probably should have an appointment soon anyways just for a check up.
Avatar f tn Its really hard to put off all that weight n takes much time but as u mentioned u used to work out before. It may not be an issue for you, plus you also reduce weight while you breat feed your infant.
Avatar f tn Okay ladies I know everyone says your eating for 2. But I feel like that all I ever do is eat. I'm constantly hunger . Am I the only one is there anything I can do.

8171031 tn?1399327634 High protein diet will help baby put on weight. Think protein shakes, steaks, etc. You really don't have to put on a ton of weight to have a healthy baby so don't gorge yourself. My mom was told the same thing with her first pregnancy at about twenty weeks (her doc was very rude about it and told her she'd kill her baby if she didn't gain weight), so she ate anything she and my dad could afford, which was junk, and ended up putting on close to eighty pounds. All fat.
Avatar f tn And by the way, to correct above, women can put on weight from other reasons besides their eating patterns. An example is a dysfunction of the thyroid. The thyroid maintains our metabolism. If your thyroid slows, your metabolism will slow and you will gain weight from the same food you've always eaten. Weight gain for no apparent reason is a sign of thyroid dysfunction.
Avatar n tn Hello, I come from a past of an eating disorder and I have lost and gained a lot of weight. I am vegan and feel like my health is spiraling. I have an iron deficiency and I am just not eating enough to sustain the weight I had put on. It's coming off again and next week is band camp at my school and it'll fall off even faster with the exercise. How can I convince myself to eat enough but not feel like I need to eat the whole world?
Avatar n tn I don't know your age, but I'd guess that for your weight, 1200 calories is not enough, each day. I'm not sure what you mean by "eating clean"; different people put different definitions on that term. You can be eating healthy, and still not be eating the right things to lose weight. You also have to watch portion sizes. I agree with changing up your exercises.
874521 tn?1424116797 my son was recently put on lithium after a manic episode, he is rapidly gaining weight...he says he actually gets up during the night when he is in a sleep state and raids the kitchen....and he doesn't even realize he has done this until he sees the mess left behind the next morning when he gets up... I know a weight gain is common with lithium, but has anyone else ever raided a kitchen and had a feeding frenzy while still asleep?
Avatar f tn Some women put on weight quick in the bagging and then slow down later....I put on 5 pounds by about 8 weeks but now have gone down to about 1 pound and I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow.... With my first I had last 5 pounds by this point, so every pregnancy is different, don't worry, just eat healthy and If you are really worried about the weight you can start exercising if you'd like!
Avatar f tn m 26 weeks and I already weight 161lbs.
Avatar f tn I buy something to eat and almost immediately regret it because the smell tortures me. Not fun, wishing I could go back to eating whatever I want, or fast forward to eating what/when ever I want lol.
Avatar n tn Remember the baby weight you had took 9+ months to put on keep excerising and be persistent some things we have to work for ... Breast feeding helps loose baby weight eatting vegetables... Try baked food stay away from startch and salty foods but we have our own cravings ....
