Hypothyroidism and not loosing weights?

I''ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since June and I took 50mcg now I take 75 mcg. I have not had any weight loss from taking my medication. Should I consult my doctor about this or does it take a really long time till the weight loss begins? Thanks

Recommended Answer:
I did not experience any weight loss being on 112 mcg of Synthroid daily. I had to have my thyroid killed off with radioactive iodine due to thyroid nodules and out-of-control hyperthyroidism. I very quickly became hypothyroid in like two months. I started out on 25 mcg slowly working up to 112 mcg, which I now take daily for about 7 months now. But, not everyone experiences the reversal of weight gain after starting medication. I also developed an intolerance to gluten on top of it. I had three major health issues in about 18 months which triggered the intolerance. So that resulted in my having to totally change my diet. I have been on a diet, eating healthy food, watching my intake of calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium and sugar and working out 5-6 days a week for the last almost 5 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. Medication didn''t do it for me. I have to do it myself,

How do I get in shape without losing my butt?

My weight fluxuates a lot, so whenever I gain weight, my butt gets really big. When I exercise, I lose my butt instead of losing the fat around my hamstring area. Which, consequently, could make my butt look smaller or my butt probably has more fat than my hamstring area. Either way, what kind of exercises could I do that would firm/raise my butt instead of eliminating it? Thanks!

Three Reasons Why You Should Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
Squats and lunges are your best bet, they will also help to tone your thighs. And there are many different types. Go on YouTube and look for them and specific to the butt area. :) good luck.

  • omg i recommend Brazilian butt lift, you can find videos online but yeah it works very well & it''ll get that booty into shape! but also it looks easy but its difficult to learn the steps right away but its totally worth it you see results in literally less than a week if you do it at least an hour on a daily basis.
  • When doing treadmill walk on an incline this will lift your butt muscles and make sure you do squats.

How do fat people who used to be skinny accept that they are now fat?

I know some people who used to be thin and now they are fat, but they seem not to notice that they are fat. How do they just accept the fact that they are fat and out of shape?
@Angel Good answer!
@Tyler You bring up a very good point.

They don't accept it. They jus try to ignore it. Or they are doing something about it and you don't know. I used to be skinny. Like underweight skinny. But now I'm fat. And I've been working out and trying to lose weight. I've never thought I was skinny but now thatch look at old pics I see how good I looked and how terrible I look now. It's not as easy to fix as it may seem

  • How do skinny accept the fact they look anorexic and unhealthy?
  • I'm sure they notice they are fat now compared to before. When you get fat, your clothes start getting too tight and it's hard not to notice that. ;)

    What you most likely wanted to say was that they don't CARE how fat they look now, and that's perfectly normal. Some people just aren't self-conscious about their looks and don't give too much importance to their appearance.

Should I do a 3 day liquid fast?

Hello. I'm a 14yr old girl and I just got informed about a Hmong assembly and got invited to go with my friends. However, we need to be dressed up for the occasion. Thats where my problem lies, I've been sick and lazy this past month so I didn't work out or anything. I didn't like gain alot of weight or anything but I'm still a little bloated so if I just did a liquid fast for 3 days (until the event) would it help me just look a little better? Im pretty thin just because I've been working hard on it for the past couple of years but I got some bloated pudge on me right now. And no, just because I know a few of you may mention, its not because of my menstrual cycle. And I know that I'm not gonna lose actually pounds or be able to continue this because it's not a proper way to lose weight. It will actually make you gain weight over time so please dont lecture.

Lose Weight Fast - Don't Its Unhealthy!

Recommended Answer:
Yes, you will look skinnier if you do a 3 day liquid fast. I'm glad you know the risks, and that it's not a permanent fix, rather you'll probably be really cranky and tired but a little bit thinner.

Do herbal diet pills really work? Should I switch to laxatives?

I take 4 herbal diet pills a day. Three of them (all the same kind) have apple cider vinegar, kelp, B6, and lecethin in them. The others (I take one a day after a meal of my choosing) are called Stackers 2 (containing white willow bark, caffeine, and other natural herbs, can't recall what though.) I take them with lots of water. Do they work at all? Even a little bit? What about side effects? Should I switch to laxatives? If so, what kind? Thanks.

How to Lose Weight Really Fast in 3 Easy Steps

Recommended Answer:
First of all, I noticed that you mention kelp. Kelp is a seaweed and very nutritious--however, it is also extremely high in iodine which is a trace mineral. If you are deficient in iodine then you will lose some weight by taking iodine. The claim that seaweed reduces weight is a myth, not a fact.
Secondly, if you read the label carefully you will read somewhere that you are also required to be on a "sensible" diet and exercise program---so again, it is not the herbal supplement but diet and exercise that will cause weight loss.

I used to be obese and find that all those diet supplements are crap---it takes a complete lifestyle change to lose weight and keep it off. The best way to start is with a food diary(plus tyhe drinks) to see what needs to be changed. Going low carb helps a great deal as well. Gluten free is the "in" diet at this time. I have celiac's and have to avoid gluten--I can see that staying off gluten keeps me slim. However, exercising, a lot of fruit and vegetables, less processed food, and a positive attitude are the key to permanent weight loss--herbal supplements just aid the body in some way but will not cause weight loss by itself!!

  • Neither of them work.
    If you want to lose weight none of these fad tricks work, you need to put in the hard work and actually eat right and work out.
  • No please do not take laxatives for weight loss. They are dangerous. You take stick to the herbal stuff but you also have to exercise and eat right! Go to the library or bookstore and get a good book on nutrition/fitness. Or join an online weight loss program like fitclick.com !
