Back Again

[CoCo]

Hi everyone, well here I am again :sigh: . I am still a size 14 but a tight 14 if you know what I mean. I have put weight on though in the past 6 months to a year and it seems to be mainly on my stomach. I have a really bad 'muffin top' and my legs are terrible. The bit between my boobs and knees is my problem area. I am now working and am on my feet all day, it's physical work so I can't understand why I am not losing any weight. I am so tired when I get home from work doing housework, kids, cooking etc I just do not have any energy at all to exercise.
So I am thinking it must be down to diet as I said I am much more active than I was due to my job. I do have an under active thyroid that is apparently stable and I am on the right dose for.
But my weight is creeping up and my stomach in particular is getting worse, spare tyres galore and I am so fed up I have tried so hard to eat sensibly and getting nowhere.

Are you in the care of your doctor? Might be worth discussing this with your doctor.

Good luck.

Thanks Irene for your reply. I have been to see my doctor regarding weight and he basically says it takes time and I need to exercise. I must be eating the wrong things. As I work in catering I was eating at work, say pasta or small (or I think it's small) portion of the hot food. Maybe that's where I was going wrong so I now take a sandwich I have made at home to stop me eating the dinners / what we cook at work. But then again, being on the go all day I thought would burn at least some of it off

Hi ya CoCo,

It's amazing how much hidden calories can be in things like pasta, etc unless it is home made. Or you could be having too little calories ? Just a thought.
