Look at these 14 tips to lose weight again

Adrian Bryant | 09.04.09 - 10:51 pm

Im a little older than the people who have commented on this page but I need some help and I cant find it with my doctor.
Im 26 yrs old and have 4 children ages 21 month-9 yrs old.
I got hypo thyroid after my 3rd pregnancy about 4 yrs ago. I weighed 160 lbs and Im only 5' 2".
I went on a low carb diet and managed to lose up to 137 but then I had my 4th child and was still ok, only 10 over but lost it for not so much a good way (depression) So now im better and I have gained since (between the 22 months) 15lbs which I jsut cant lose. I havent changed my eating much but I have changed one thing. I go walking/jogging 2 miles every day except weekends. I have not lost 1 lb and been doing this for over 2 months now. What else can I do????

Adrian Bryant | 08.29.09 - 6:54 pm

I am 5'4 and weighed 248 pounds on 4/26. I now weigh 216. I eat healthy, ride motocross, and work out (strength training/cardio). I am succeeding in this stuff, but I feel like wasted space and like I have no reason to live.

Just go here to gain weight

Adrian Bryant | 08.22.09 - 8:11 pm

I'm 17 years old and i just stepped on the scale and it reads 106.4. I am currently 5'4. My weight is usually around 102-107. I just got done eating dinner, so i dont know if that would be correct? i know your suppose to weigh yourself in the morning, but my mother did a BMI calculator on my brother and that says hes obese. Hes 54 inches and he weights 106 also. She told me i should go online and check it out, and from what i see, its healthy or im close to being at the healthy weight. What do you think?

I have a hard time gaining weight, and i have a small stomach. I usually eat 2 meals a day. I cant eat 3 or i feel too stuffed. I dont snack at all either.

I think smoking might have an effect on my weight. ive been smoking cigarettes for 4 years now. I saw how when i first started, i dropped alot of weight. when i was 13, i was around 5'2-5'3 and i was 120 pounds. I also have a 2 year history with drug abuse. I'm clean now though (:

A lot of people tell me im too skinny. When i get into a bikini, they say i look almost anerexic. When i look at myself in the mirror, i think i look a bit big. I'm not athletic at all, but i do walk alot.

my e-mail is yeslek@live.com
and i would love for you to respond.

It may be because of how much you eat and/or what you eat

Adrian Bryant | 08.02.09 - 12:58 pm
