fluck hormones

Ive struggled with my weight most of my life. I eat healthy, count calories, run almost 4 miles 4-6 days a week and im STILL 30 lbs overweight. I feel like I have no control over it. I do have thyroid disease which I know doesn't help, but my doctor swears hypothyroidism only contributes to 10lbs at most and then when medicated (which I am) I have no excuse I must just not be working hard enough. Im at a loss I don't know what to try any more.

I stepped on the scale this morning....187 bleh! In the whole two weeks I was able to stay pregnant last month (counting from conception not lmp) I dropped to 178 then two weeks post period/cp Im up to 187 wtf?? down almost 10 in two weeks and then back up 10 in the next two weeks that cant be normal? Same thing happened with my first pregnancy I dropped to 175 and stayed there didn't gain a lb for 9 weeks, as soon as I miscarried I ballooned again. My weight struggle was hard enough to begin with, add the hormone fluctuations of pregnancy/mc and I feel it slowly spiraling out of control.

There is no point to this I guess just really disgusted with my meeting with the scale this morning.

This happened to me when I was pg too. Dropped 9 pounds then after my surgery gained all of them right back. Makes no sense to me. I'm sorry it's so frustrating and that you're having a hard time. [[hugs]]

* hugs* I know exactly how you feel. I have been on a "diet" for 25 years now it seems like. EVer since my mom suggested I go on a diet with her at 12! I am up 9 pounds since I m/c last month. IDK WTF has happened, Im not eating more but I havent got off my butt to do any excerise since it happened either. Its like pooring salt over my wound. Im sure hormones have alot to do with it but it still pisses me off. Im sorry for your loss and for your uncooperative scale Doesnt seem right that so many things have to go wrong at the same time!

I'm so sorry you are feeling bad.  Stupid scales!  Have you thought about mixing up your workout routine.  Instead of doing the running 4-6 days a week do some type of cross training and then some weights along with that.  Maybe try crossfit or biking.  It sucks having to deal with all this ((HUGS))

I HATE getting on the scale. Ever since I gained weight after my wedding, it just never went away, and kept getting worse. I usually feel like I don't have time to work out during the semester, but I discovered interval training on my bike and that seemed to really help shake things down a bit. I don't run, but it helps me, when I can do it.

All I have to offer is hugs. The whole weight struggle is rough. I'm struggling now to take off some lbs I put on during my last pregnancy bc all I could eat was carbs.

Thanks ladies, I was sorry to read that others are struggling the same

 

ZAngel- yes I have and your right, I need to try that. I just enjoy running so much more.

I've been evading my scale for the very same reason. I gained weight post loss too. And you even work out, how unfair is that!! 

I just packed my summer clothes away this morning and any sizeM and non-streching L shirts, to say they don't fit anymore is an understatement.   

It would be like the "fat guy in a little coat" moment in Tommy Boy...

I fully relate to this. I've been due for an ugly cry, and one was brought on when I stepped on the scale this morning. Fluck hormones & scales!
