Tough question due to your condition. In my opinion i would refer you to Todd Ganci see the link below. I met him a month ago and he is legitament with lots of knowledge. Perhaps he would be your best soarce of advice.

Honey have you been checked for hyperthyroidism? You say you eat all the time but dont gain weight, have the doc check you for anything that could be causing that first, if you havent already. \nDONT just go and eat fatty foods, that will just end up giving you health problems. Try more proteins and meats (if your not a vegetarian), maybe get a weight building supplement from a health store.

Write down EVERYTHING you eat and look up the caloric intake. You have to walk fast enough to get your heart rate up to an aerobic level. Good luck! Also, go to the Dr. and have your thyroid checked!

Do you have a copy of your blood work? If you do, look at it and see if you were TSH, T-3 and T-4 levels were tested. These are tests used to determine how well your thyroid is functioning. The symptoms that you're describing remind me of how I first felt when I developed hypothyroidism. I doubt it is your blood sugar because people tend to lose weight, not gain weight, during the onset of diabetes. On top of feeling sluggish, poor thyroid function can make you depressed, anxious, physically and mentally exhausted, constipated, and can affect your mood in general. I didn't want to hang out with my friends, talk on the phone, go to work or school, or do anything that required any effort. Also caffeine and sugar had adverse effects on me. If you're experiencing any symptoms similar to these, and you TSH ( thyroid stimulating hormone ) wasn't already tested, I suggest ruling hypothyroidism out as a first step. Good luck, and remember, if diseases are caught early enough, more than likely they can be cured ( or at least treated ).

Have the doctor check your thyroid function.  It could be functioning too fast (hyperthyroidism) causing your metabolism to be too high.

It maybe a thyroid problem.  You should go see your doctor.  If it is a thyroid problem you may start to gain weight.

You have to see a specialist called Endocrinologist. It sounds like you have underactive thyroid glands, causing you to gain wait. Prescription medication easily can help that problem. I've had my glands removed years ago and I'm still kicking.

Well, i heard this on oprah.  If you trying to gain weight go on  diet for a little bit and then suddenly stop.  The shock will cause you body to pack on some extra pounds.

Have you seen a doctor?  If you are making a lot of effort with no to little progress you might (emphasis on that word "might") have a physical condition that prevents you from losing weight.  I have thyroid issues that affect my weight.  there are many medical conditions that affect weight issues.

One of the main symptoms of Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome (P.C.O.S.) is uncontrolled weight gain.  I put one website below, but I'm sure there are better ones.  \n\nThe main point I wanted to make to you is that you must see a very GOOD doctor about your condition.  He/She has to be skilled at managing your condition and this requires a good amount of knowledge of endocrine and thyroid issues.  If your GYN physician is managing your condition, make sure he or she is board-certified (check the medical board website for your state).  Also, if I were you, I might consider seeing an endocrinologist to either provide my primary treatment or to assist the GYN in providing the treatment.\n\nThere is a LOT of information on-line about the illness.  Try to find one that ends in .gov.  I put a link to a Medline article that looks that it came from the National Institutes of Health, so that might be the most trustworthy one.  \n\nOnce you have information, then you will know that they is nothing you can do to lose the weight except to get your thyroid and other hormone levels in check.  There are also new and recent studies finding that people who work the night shift (they focused on diabetics, but diabetics share some of the same issues) have more weight problems than people who work another shift.  Like I said, it was just one study, but it might be something you want to check out more later.\n\nTake care of yourself...

Yeah I've gained 40 pounds...it sucks. On the other hand though, it helps out a lot...the other part you have to do.

Go and have a check up pronto!\nA blood test should be made to determine any strange stats.\nIn my case some 7 years ago, it was depression and low energy that drove me to the doctor where we found my hypothyroid hashimoto disease.\nTell the doctor everything about your normal day-to-day life, like what you eat, how much water you drink, you long you work and how long you sleep and how much you exercise.\nGood luck and do go to the doctor!

A few years ago I was able to eat absolutely everything and not gain weight. I would eat 4000 + calories a day and continued to lose weight. The issue was a stress disorder and my system was not processing all the food I ate. I visited a doctor, got my mineral balance back in check, and took mega dose liquid vitamins for about 6 months. The weight gain started within the first few weeks and continued until I was a more normal size 8. (I was down to size 2). A visit to a doctor or naturopath may be wise.

My thyroid was normal for the first 24 years of my life, then went from the size of a marble to the size of a raquetball in about 2 years. It was very overactive and would have kept growing if I hadn't had it taken out.

That is a really good question!\n\nFirst of all, I would ask your doctor what is the best approach to losing the weight. I am not 100% sure, but could it be possible that you need to have your synthroid dose changed??\n\nI looked up some information on the web and added the site for you to look at.\n\nI am sorry you are so frustrated! I hope you find your answer and wish you the best of luck.

You probably have an overactive thyroid like me, which means... ur screwed just like the rest of us.
