weight

Avatar m tn Interesting...When you say 50% of muscle, where you referring to weight loss? Weight now/then?
Avatar n tn Have you been tested for medical conditions that might prevent weight loss?
Avatar f tn hi beverlyhilsa, actually, most of our problem are just because of our bad habits, no one has forced you to eat junks, sugar or other stuff like that but still, you are eating. okay, now if you have really decided to lost weight just say "yes I can do it" and you are half done. people will share their experiences over this forum and I'll do the same. I use beyond weight management tea for my weight loss and found it really good.
Avatar f tn You have to burn more calories than you take in, in order to lose weight. Do you know what your BMR is? You will use some calories through your BMR - it's been said, approximately 50% of the calories you use/day will be BMR, the rest will be exercise. If you're hitting that 2900 calorie mark, you're probably eating too many.
5692644 tn?1388472314 I know a lot of people have trouble getting the weight off. How many moms had problems getting their weight back down and what did you do to get it down? Just wondering is all, because I really just want to go back to normal after I have bubs.
Avatar m tn Conscious of eating less than 1500 calories per day/ 35-50 carbs. Can not lose weight. I take metformin,zocor,toprol,lotrel ( minimal dosage ) What can I do ? Maximum effort - no results.
Avatar n tn I'm not sure what you're asking us. Has the weight loss left you at an unhealthy weight for your height and build? If so, you need to see your doctor immediately. If you are happy about the weight loss and find it beneficial to your health, consider that a very nice side effect. Some ADs DO affect our weight, but usually not to extremes. You are not losing weight at a dangerous rate. 4.5lbs a month is a safe and healthy rate.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I'm new to ms and will be starting copaxone soon. I like to reaserch as much info as I can on any drug I take before I start so there are no suprises. Believe it or not, I am more concerned about weight gain than any thing else. I have literally struggled with it all my life. I am 50 lbs over weight now an can afford to gain an ounce. I've read where cushins symdrome is a side effct, oddly enough, it was a concern earlier with my weight issues.
10299247 tn?1409208876 I am 19 weeks and have lost 23 lbs. I to was about 185 when I got pregnant and was considered over weight. My Dr isn't concerned at all about weight loss and I have been terribly sick the whole pregnancy too. Dr just tells me to eat what I can and what will stay down. Also to drink lots of water. Right now baby girl is measuring a head of schedule so as long as she's fine I'm fine. If your dr isn't concerned I wouldn't be either.
Avatar m tn Getting your thyroid hormone levels right will allow you to lose weight, not make you lose weight, i.e. a weight loss program will work better.
Avatar n tn Absolutely. I lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks. Have you had off the hook anxiety for the last 6 to 8 months? For me everything tasted like cardboard and I had no desire to eat. If that is the case for you, it isn't healthy to be in this state of anxiety so you may want to consider talking to your doctor again.
Avatar n tn About a year ago, one night I was having a headache and nausea so I just went to bed. When I woke up, headache and nausea were gone but every time I had a meal, five minutes later I had an explosive bowel movement. That went on for 4-5 days. After that, I started losing weight. I've lost 50lbs in 6 months. I am a male, 5'10. I went from 185lbs to 135lbs. I have been eating well but no matter how much I eat, there's always hunger.
Avatar f tn I am a 5' 2" 17 year old girl that has been experiencing unexplained weight loss for around 6 months. I weighed around 105lbs. at my heaviest and now currently weigh around 85lbs. I have an appetite and am consuming over 2,000 calories a day but cannot seem to gain an ounce. I also have progressive weakness and muscle fatigue and I feel cold all the time. My other symptoms include hair loss, salt craving/taste loss?, severe constipation, sleep disturbances, abdominal pain and nausea.
Avatar f tn Does anyone have any success stories about losing weight after being put on Synthroid? I would like to hear some encouraging words. I have gained 50 pds. and are miserable. I have not been on meds long enough to tell any difference in energy or hunger, but I am hopeing there will be some difference in the future.
Avatar f tn And in reality, this isn’t the case either. Now, to understand how exercise effects weight-loss, you have to understand how your body creates energy, and there are only 2 ways it does it. One is by burning fat and the other is by burning blood sugar, or glucose. Even when you’re not doing anything strenuous your body still burns fat. It’s known as “Resting Metabolic Rate.” So, when you’re sitting at a desk, driving a car, watching TV, or even sleeping, your body is still burning fat.
