Weight loss forever
Common Questions and Answers about Weight loss forever
weight
I was wondering if anyone has had weight loss completely unexplained. In 2011 I was pregnant with my second son and I lost quite a bit of weight and was concerned but the doctors weren't since my son seemed to be doing fine. By the end of that pregnancy I had only gained 11lbs back of what I had lost. As soon as I had him I dropped the 11lbs and then some.
I continued dropping weight but since I wasn't pregnant I decided maybe it was a good thing, since I was overweight to start with.
The typical formula of drinking 1/2 your weight in ounces would never be enough water for me while on TX. I drink twice that much. I weight 120 and I drink a minimum of a gallon of water a day. My skin is dry and my eyes are dry even with that much water intake.
25 pounds per month to lose. Safe weight loss is considered to be 1-2 pounds/week. Your calorie intake is a calculation of your current weight, height, age and activity levels.
You will need to incorporate a healthy diet, with plenty of exercise. If you aren't used to exercising, start slow and work into it. You shouldn't work out to the point of being in pain.
For a healthy diet, you will need to make sure you get plenty of lean protein.
At 6 weeks, I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) which is severe nausea, vomiting, dehydration and weight loss that only .5-1% of pregnant women get. I've been hospitalized 3 times for chronic dehydration, had to withdraw from my PhD courses, been off work 7 weeks and have lost 26 pounds. For the last 2 months, I have been unable to keep down foods or liquids. I now have a home care nurse daily, on IV's and a 24 hour Zofran pump to stop the vomiting.
I have been on 75mcg of levothyroxine for 7 weeks and I have noticed weight loss. My TSH was at 81.10 on Oct 2013. Before my blood work doctor put me on previous dose until test came back. I went back to doctor for a sinus infection and they want me to continue until mid December then another blood draw. Turns out I have had a severe sinus infection the same time I went in the weeks prior, took 2000mg og amoxicillin for 10 days. Anyway, they just ordered a Free T4?
I was having headaches so the doctor did blood work since I the only time I've had any blood work was the normal tests they do when pregnant. Due to 1st results they repeated the blood work. If I'm reading the doctors sheet correctly it shows:
t-3 uptake 34%
t-4 total10.1 mcg/dL
Free t4 index 3.4
TSH 0.02
He said I was hyper and referred me to an endo. This is a new to me. I looked online and I don't have the symptoms of a person with hyper.
Your body has probably gone on starvation mode. It's going to try and store as much fat, carbs and sugar. At your age, keep your metabolism goung by eating snacks or healthy foods ever three hours or so. Your body would stop going on starvation mode because it's going to nutrients every so often. You should be seeing weight loss results. Maintaining a steady calorie intake with some exercise wouldget the ball rolling in weight loss.
Hi girl, are you losing weight??? I feel yah. As ive been having weird appetite pattern, im 12 weeks along. I hate it. Sometimes i feel nauseous esp when i cant burp out. I also feel full very easily. As if my stomach shrunk! im very helpless and lost like 3lbs already...i just want to eat. If im cooking, after sometime i feel like throwing up coz i cant look at the food i was cooking! I miss my appetite. Cant even eat fast. I eat porridge and oatmeal and takes me forever to finish a bowl.
Depends how how much you eat and how much you exersisse. Being on it forever is NOT a sullition to keeping weight off. I suggest taking note off all you eat and how many calories for a few days. Then take look at how many calories you need to stay at that weight. Here's a link to a calculator

As long as you don't go over you can just cold turkey get off of it. Hopefully it's non adictive.
As long as baby is healthy that is all that maters.
Everyone is different & hopefully your nausea will subside soon but when I suffered I ate watermelon & the nausea subsided.
m loosing between 1 and 2 pounds per week, I know that might sound slow, but any loss is a good loss, and it adds up. I also make small challenges for myself, like to loose in 10 pound sets. After being on every diet out there for the past ten years so far this is working. I don't restrict anything from my list of food, that way I don;t have that many cravings. But I ration the size, just a sample size so I can have a taste and not feel guilty, if it's a goody.
That is why I am here I want ro lose this weight and maintain my weight.
Believe the large calorie change is responsible for your weight loss. Congratulations on quitting and feel free to stay involved in the community for support even though you don't have weight to lose. There is a lot of motivation that flows around here.
Best wishes to your mom and wishes for a healthful recovery ...
