Help!!! Hypothyroid Not Losing Weight...

[drdvc2u]

I am at the point of desperation here.  I am 35 years old.  I have post partum hypothyroidism.  My daughter is two years old.  I started gaining weight when she turned 1 and found out I had hypothyroidism.  To the point...I have been working out for 2 months, consistently 5 days per week includes 30 of rigorous cardio and 30 of weight training.  I have been eating around 1200 to 14000 calories per day.  I take 175 mcg of Synthroid everyday.  I am NOT losing weight, as a matter of a fact I have gained a few pounds when I took my medication late.  I am SO frustrated. I am starting to lose my zest.  I am really doing exactly what I am supposed to but my metabolism refuses to kick in.  I am at the point of near breakdown.  I am 5'3" and weigh 190 lbs.  I don't know what to do.  Doctors say well you are eating too much, no I am NOT.  I am exercising and eating right.  I am NOT losing any weight.  I am at the point of just quitting the exercise eat/well plan I am not seeing any results.  Please Help.

If only I could afford that I have sold my car and half the things I own just to afford the weightloss clinics I live on a modest income and last time i checked plastic surgons dont work for free even in Canada where health care is free.  And I dont see how a gastrectomy would help in any case since it's something like a lapband and I do not over eat hell I can go without eating totally if it wouldent kill me to not eat. Thats why I'm posting so maybe some other sugestions that maybe I have tryed that I could afford in some way I have talked to a doctor about mesotherapy but even that is almost $1300 a treatment and I would need at least 5 to shed enough weight. I'm scared I will be doomed to a life of being over weight and soon never walking again.

If the suffering is from 6 years and you are aggravating your other problems due to your weight then the soloution is going for liposuction and other cosmetic procedures.
There are techniques like partial gastrectomy and the procedures would be explained by a professional plastic surgeon who does cosmetic surgeries!
Cosmetic surgeries are also used not only to look good but also to relieve a person of weight and helping the person in getting confidence and a way ahead in life.
Take an appointment and try to understant the procedures and what is best suitable for you.
Take care!

I try to keep hope but I started putting the weight on in 2003 and it's now 2009 thats 6 years I have been trying and 2 of those years i spent without a diagnosis. And Sadly my joints will never heal they will only get progressily work till the day comes I want even be able to walk and I'll be lucky to even swim. I've already have 3 joint replacements and I'm expecting 2 more in the next year. I have osteochondritis so It wont get better only worse and a lot faster then it should being that I'm grossly overweight. I could be 200lbs and so wide I can barely fit through a door I only wish to be lighter to take some of the pain and suffering a feel go away. Less pressure on my joints means less bone death. I'm only 31 and I near have to use a walker already I'm young I wanna dance and run and play with my dog in the yard and at the moment i cant I only want some advice that the 100 doctors and theripest and dieticans havent given me already.

im so sorry,

but dont worry because you are definetly not alone, i have gained 30 pounds, and i would have swelling on my face and eyes, redness and irritation under my eyes.......i would have to go to the gym constantly to make sure my face wouldnt swell up....and almost everytime i ate anythign i would have very minor swelling of my cheeks....as you can imagine it was very difficult and was causing me to become severly depressed and not wanting to do anything. I went to the doctor and after i got my blood test i found out that i have hypothyroidism. and my TSH is 0.006  which is extremelyyyy low. and i am constantly battling my  battle with weight

Your doctor is right in all the ways and i support his view. This is not the end of road and keep your thoughts and views perfect and stay focussed and when all your joints heal and you feel good, increase the swimming training and try to do all manual work at home, try using the stairs always, go on a bicycle while shopping fruits and vegetables and become someone like a Mahatma Gandhi/Nelson Mandela in doing self work.
Take care and take all the decision keeping your doctor informed!

I have tho, I spent 3 months in what I fondly call a fat farm they call it a rehab center. I have spent a small fortune on weightloss clinics and programs I have done everything short of plastic surgery. I have even trying the "alternitive" methods like indian sweatlodges, light theripy, hypnociess, I even got stupid and lived in Ensure for a month. My doctor keeps telling me not to lose hope but then I have only been seeing him a few months cuz my last one didnt beleave me when I told him how hard I been working to lose weight and the one before took 3 years to disgnose me with hypothyroid he just told me I was getting older and thats what bodys do they slow down. I have tryed everything out there I am honestly at the end of my rope I cant think of anything else to try short of lyposuction, which I could probably never afford.
