Avatar f tn I'll be honest I don't do calories - only saturated fats - but I may still be able to help - I was 12 and a half stone at the age of 13 and now weigh 9st 7lb :-) The first couple weeks of dieting your body will drop the pounds off very quickly. I lost 7lb in my first WEEK of dieting and assumed that it would always be like that. It's not!
Avatar n tn That's great that you're working out again and 4-5x a week is excellent. You didnt say how much you weigh or how much you'd like to lose, but if you don't have much to lose (doesnt sound like you do) the weight is most likely going to come off pretty slow. I'm trying to get rid of these last 5-8 lbs and it's taking foreverrrr. Exercise is just one part of the weight loss equation though.
Avatar f tn I quit drinking soda and other drinks and now only drink water, fat free milk, and an occasional gatorade. I eat less then I use too with minimal snacks. I have not lost any weight in a month. WHat am I doing wrong?
Avatar n tn As far as exercise, get some weights and do some weight training, or do some push-ups. Cardio is not necessary for losing weight. In fact, I believe that running too much can be bad for you. That's a whole other topic of conversation. Stick to high-intensity workouts for shorter periods & you'll be healthier. Also, remember that it's not what you do at the gym that makes you look/feel great, it's what you do at home in the kitchen that counts.
Avatar f tn I'm a little confused. Is anyone else losing weight? I'm 11weeks 5days. My weight before pregnancy was 180. 6weeks prego my weight was 168, 8weeks was 161, today i'm at 155. I thought in the beginning it was from morning sickness and being actually sick, but for 3 weeks i haven't had a lot of morning sickness since i started drinking sprite and i haven't been sick. I thought for sure by mid 11 weeks i would have gained at least a pound or two. Am I the only one losing?

Avatar m tn Its been almost ten years since my successful TX for hep c. My appetite started tanking halfway through the treatment. A while back it started tanking again...about the time I started hydro/acetaminophen for pain. Appetite since dropped to zero and I am tired of living on ensure and smoothies. The Doc's dont seem interestede since I am not losing weight. I deliberately try not to lose weight. Anybody got any ideas?
Avatar n tn Gradually increase the amount of food that you are cutting down. Once you are accustomed to eating a smaller amount, try to begin eating a little healthier. While you are getting healthy, it is important to exercise as well. Always check the ingredients, calories, fat, carbohydrates, and vitamins of the food you buy. Do not get frustrated if you do not see results immediately. The goal is to lose weight gradually.
Avatar f tn Have you tried taking Vitamin B6? My midwife recommended this but I didn't have morning sickness nearly as bad as you. Tried to stay hydrated, you may be lightheaded because you're not getting enough fluids.

Avatar f tn I gained weight without changing my eating pattern with hypothyroidism. All my labs were in range too. Just not my normal! The weight increase was notably when TSH was in the mid 3's. So low thyroid was one cause of weight gain. The other cause was insulin resistance (my insulin was very high 24/7). Ways to improve insulin sensitivity include no processed sugar, low carb, intermittent fasting, exercise to name a few things.
4193337 tn?1355698372 t stopped eating or anything but I do force myself to drink lots of water and am back to eating tons of fruit. Is this safe that I am losing weight? This is my second pregnancy and I know during the last few weeks you can lose a few but I am still a ways away from that. Any thoughts?
4945970 tn?1361450429 I'm 12wks 5dys is it normal to lose weight instead of gaining I'm not trying to lose weight but I have lost 12pounds Is that normal?
10286987 tn?1410261849 You are looking for illnesses that can affect you. You also need not to get on FAB diets. Do it right, good eating and exercise. Remember that sometime personal emotional problems create eating disorders. It is your life and you need to be positive and own it. You need to sleep, drink water and avoid sodas, fast food and everything you know is not good for you. Understand that it is not a to do list that needs to be given to you. You have to take responsibility too.
2087488 tn?1332582128 For a dog not to want to eat, and to be losing weight, then it's my feeling she DOES have a medical condition. The sooner you find out what's wrong with her the better. She needs to see the vet as soon as you can take her. I would take her Monday. A healthy dog who is exercised normally, will be hungry for food, and will eat. OK there are some exceptions....for instance, a dog who has been brought up to eat only human food all its life, might turn up its nose at kibble.
Avatar f tn I'm about 13 weeks and keep losing weight. Not sure why. I eat, but i know I'm not getting the calories I need. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables mostly because that's what's sounds good. I'm also eating a lot of protein too. Anyone else experienced weight loss?
Avatar f tn Now wait -- eating small meals is for people who eat too much, not people who eat too little. If you don't eat much you shouldn't be gaining weight, you should be losing unless what you eat is incredibly high in bad fat and bad calories.
Avatar f tn I finally have a little bump, I was worried too because I lost weight at first as well, but then my belly started growing.
4945970 tn?1361450429 I was worried too, I started off at 100 lbs then thanks to morning sickness went down to 88 lbs! I asked my doctor if I should be worried because I'm not gaining weight and she said as long as I'm eating then I am fine.
Avatar f tn Has anyone not gained any pounds at all during there whole pregnacy?? Just a bit concerned. I don't vomit I eat little snacks during the day and I feel great. But just not weight gained. So just wondering if it seems ok?
Avatar n tn (people are saying maybe the weights are gaining muscle) I lose about 400 calories on the Skiing machine machine (to work both arms and lose weight), it says in about 35 minutes. sometimes I lose 500 in 42 minutes. Why am I not losing any weight? In fact I gained 3 lbs. Do I need to cut out weights completely? Do I need to go to the gym 5 days a week and do more cardio? I ate very few carbs for many years. I have just now started eating a few because evreyone says I should.
Avatar f tn I too am loosing weight...I have no appetite but I am making myself eat and eating almost non stop but still have lost 10# (I'm 11wks)...try protein bars and protein shakes...and fruits and veggies. Good luck, hopefully you start gaining weight soon.
