I've been trying hard to shift 5 pounds to get back down to 9 stone to no avail. I exercise & eat healthily. last year I had an overactive thyroid & was prescribed Carbimazole, now as a result my thyroid has now turned slightly underactive. What can I do to speed up my metabolism enabling me to lose weight? I’m 5ft 7 1/2 inches tall, weigh 9 stone 5. I’ve been trying hard to shift 5 pounds to get back down to 9 stone to no avail.

This coming year will be the year of exercise. I swim a few laps a few days ago and felt great but not to sure if I can find an indoor pool in Atlanta near by. I am over weight and have been eating healthy for about a year now, on a customized Mediterranean diet. The main ingredient I left out last year was exercise. I believe even a little fat can be healthy and I'm more concerned with health than weight. I’m having trouble too, would like to get down to 200 right now I’m 230.

I used to eat the bulk of my calories at night. Especially fried food. But I exercise almost everyday for an hour. But now I try to eat throughout the day. I eat food which high in fiber, fruit and drink a lot of water. I'm thinking the weight I gain is because of muscle. I know muscle weighs more than fat. I don't want muscle, I want to lose weight. If that's the case I am probably stuck at my healthy weight. But I still want to lose my extra 10 pounds and I'll be so happy. Hi Carole,

I've always worked full time, and am a single mom. You can make a great tasting dinner in 15 or 20 minutes. The other thing I wonder is if you are eating the bulk of your calories at night, or do you eat throughout the day? If you ever notice, thin people eat all day long. They train their bodies to burn the food practically as fast as they eat it. That won't happen if you're eating fat laden foods at night. And, you're getting your fruits and veggies in...right?
