How much does your thyroid play on being overweight?

by on Jun.27, 2009, under Large

I take thyroid medicine and it seems that when I started taking thyroid medicine years ago I started putting on weight. Now I am quite a bit overweight. Nothing seems to help. My thyroid has never been regulated right. Doctors just don't seem to pay much attention when I bring this up.

Can an overweight adult take beginning ballet class?

by on Jun.20, 2009, under Large

I took a little ballet as a child, but I’ve never lost interest. I’m in my 40’s now, and I am overweight, but I would still like to try a beginning ballet class. I know it would increase my fitness level, as well as my overall self confidence and mental health. Any thoughts or suggestions as to whether I’d be completely embarrassed or could I actually give this a go?

How common is it to be vegan and overweight?

by on Jun.17, 2009, under Large

I am vegan and this girl that just hired on with is vegan too. She is about 100lbs overweight and says has been vegan for 15 years and can't seem to get the weight off. When she says she's vegan, people just kind of scoff at her like she's lying. What would you think if you were one of the scoffers? Would you think she was lying or that she just really liked her breads and rice?

How do you get over a distorted body image?

by on Jun.13, 2009, under General

I have a problem with thinking I look bigger then I really am. I am not over-weight. I am 5′4” and 125 lbs, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I see nothing that I like. I exercise frequently but I still eat pretty much what I want. People always tell me that I look great but I don’t really believe it… I’m not sure how to get over this. PLUS I read a lot of magazines and seeing all those flawless celebrities does NOT help…
