| Seriously Villette, I don't think you have as big of a problem as you think you do. My best friend is very large busted and always feels like she looks fat but she's just ill-proportioned. Have you ever considered a reduction? I'd love to say I would take some of it if that were possible!! Although most of the complaints you hear nowadays are about high weight, I have always been criticized for being too skinny. No one with any tact would tell someone how fat they are but people don't hesitate to tell me I'm too damn skinny. Now, after having 2 kids, I not only still have a problem buying clothes because I don't think they make much in the Jr. dept. that a 35 year old wants to wear all the time but now I have that baby gut that's not in proportion with the rest of me. So see, not many of us are totally satisfied with our weight but I really think that we have a genetically predestined shape and have to learn to live with it (for the most part). If I had any will power at all, I would be doing crunches all evening but sadly, the exhaustion wins in the end!

| Just read that you might have a thyroid problem too. If so, I was not able to lose weight until I got enough T3 with my thyroid meds. Whether it is adding Cytomel to Synthroid (or other brand of T4 thyroid med) or switching to Armour Thyroid (a natural which includes both T4 or T3) -- that T3 can make all the difference in the world to the metabolism! I have no thyroid gland so it was even more important for me to get both hormones. Docs will tell you your body will convert T4 to T3 so you only need to take T3. But I just ask if that conversion is enough, then why do healthy thyroid glands produce T3 direct? Since they do, I want my thyroid supplementation to include both too. Lots of my problems were helped with T3!

I'll say it to you too ....can you just ...BITE ME ????? What's good about losing weight is those are the first to go .....usually and Angie - I'd LOVE a reduction - but no insurance.. so it's out of the question - losing some weight will help some - you'd think at my age CERTAIN things would Quit growing already ! FlDebra - you're right on the thyroid problem - I'm on Armour Throid right now but ran out and just can't see the doctor at this time - and Gina - SHUUUUUUT UP !! lol - You look like what I used to look like. I miss wearing clothes like you can wear Angie - you are NOT too skinny - actually you have an hourglass shape - You're very pretty ! Didn't you see me gawking at you ???? | |

| Regarding thyroid, I started gaining weight about three years ago and could NOT lose it for anything. My hair got dry, finger nails weak, tons of other stuff too. After bloodwork, scans, etc. they still say my thyroid is fine. What other tests can they do? One scan did find a lump, but that doctor said it was more of a muscle mass, not a lump in/on my thyroid. I went to four different doctors and one endocrinologist (sp). I heard that sometimes getting the doctor to determine a thyroid issue can be hard - some people, the first blood test finds it, but others, not so easy. Any ideas??

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | LOL !!!! OH thanks for posting again - I had just pm'd you to be SURE I didn't say something off the wall (bite me) and offend you !! I know many of us would trade with you in a nano second as I sit here with my monster bowl of Brocolli - YUM (not !) |

No Longer a Member | Villette, that goes the same for the boobs too! I'm a much bigger girl these days that I used to be. I have a lot of weight to lose. But I used to be a very skinny person. When I was thin, I was an "A" cup, and if I ever lose the weight again, I'm sure I'll be right back there. I wish I had the problem of boobs that would keep growing LOL |
