You say she is losing slowly. That is how it should be. The body does not like rapid weight loss and will act accordingly! If she has stopped using the Medifast diet her weight may increase.
It is vital she has her blood tests done and to see if she is truly hypothyroid. If so her medication will need adjusting and she should keep the weight down, provided she eats healthily and continues to do physical excersise.
I'm 5'8".
I weighed 225 lbs when I found out I was pregnant. I made a bit of an effort to exercise more but otherwise haven't changed my day to day life too much. I'm now down to 205, although I got down to 200 at one point. As long as the weight loss isn't "intentional" and it's coming off slowly and healthily it's fine. Your provider will let you know if you need to worry.
Losing weight quickly is never good and causes yo yo effects. Regardless to one of the comments earlier swimming is the number 1 best over all total body work out. Have you ever seen a fat swimmer??? No. As for losing 5 lbs in one week that is probably mostly water weight and not actual fat loss. You need to find your calorie maintenance number and shoot to be calorie deficient by no more that 500 to get the body to lose weight healthily.
500 cals isn't a starvation diet. In fact most 'starvation' stuff I.e. starvation diet, starvation mode isn't more than a myth. If she can maintain it healthily and go back to 'regular eating' subtly she'll continue losing weight quickly.
I HAD THYROID SURGERY 2008 ,I HAD BEEN FIGHTING WITH HYPERTHYROID 4 YEARS AND KEEP LOSING WEIGHT AND LOOKING SICK, I HAVE A SMALL WAIST, LITTLE BREAST AND NOT TO MENTION I WAS ONLY 130lbs NOW IT'S 2012 AND I WEIGHT 234LBS, I TRIED DIETS, I RARELY EAT BUT I ALSO HAVE TYPE 1 DIABETES BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO
t suggest trying to lose that much that quickly. Healthily, you should be looking to lose about 2lbs a week, and the weight is unlikely to stay off if you go at a faster rate. However, if you are intent on losing more weight, I can only recommend that you remember to drink plenty of fluids, as well as listening to your body in order to make sure you're getting enough energy.
gain yoyo w/ a BMI of 25 to 30. When I set my mind to it, I lose weight healthily (1-2lbs/wk) via weight watchers, but I constantly feel starved & eventually fall off the wagon.
I've always (for as long as my memories go back) been inflicted w/ a consistent & persistent large appetite for mostly healthy foods (just too much of them). I previously combated that w/ regular vigorous exercise 30-90 min/day.
l know losing weight is the solution but its difficult as l cant do much walking but l am on a diet and slowly losing weight but it takes time. l am wondering if you have any advice on how to make it better, is losing weight the only way that will cure the problem, could my weight have casued permanent damage and the pain will be there for life?
i was bound to an opiate addiction for almost 10 yrs due to chronic pain and am now 2 and a half yrs sober. i had a hypothyroidism problem as well, and was prescribed medicine to help with metabolism. to give you an update as to where i am today... i am still taking methadone for chronic pain. i stopped taking zoloft 2 months ago at my own volition and do NOT take any SSRIs. i no longer have a thyroid problem, and no longer need to take medicine for it.
