Why can't I lose weight?! Do I have a thyroid problem?

Question

I have been kickboxing twice a week for three months now and I haven't lost a pound! In addition, I have switched to water rather than soft drinks and I eat healthier breakfast and lunches. I would think by now I should see SOMETHING. Not a pound!!!! It's very frustrating and it's hard to stay motivated, but I've come this far. I need some suggestions.
Also, I think I may be hypothyroid, but instead of losing weight, I gained 40 pounds in the past four years! I just got out of college, but I didn't eat my way through or anything, it just kept coming! HELP!!!!!! What's wrong with me?!

Answer 1

Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.

Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).

You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.

Answer 2

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

Answer 3

If your goal is weight loss, try to engage in cardio activity 5-6 times a week for 20-60 minutes a day. That will boost your metabolism every day. Bood Greene, Oprah's trainer, has written some good books about eating and weight loss. "Make the Connection" has some really good information in it.

Answer 4

I found a great way to lose weight fast and keep it off. I do body cleansing. I lost 13 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. Cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurites come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives etc. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To shrink the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow.
