Please?? Can anyone tell me?
I'm not willing to go on medication at this point.
I've totally revamped my lifestyle. I eat very clean, only eat in a ten hour window, brisk walking regularly, once or twice a week yoga or low stress weighted workout, drink plenty of water, low carb.
I'm not looking to do anything extreme like keto or IF. I believe in living a balanced lifestyle. I believe there must be an imbalance somewhere. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and pcos, both of which seem to be in remission at this point bh. But the weight just won't budge.
I literally go crazy when I hear people say they cut out flour and sugar and dropped tons of weight. I've eliminated those things years ago and nothing doing. I'm so frustrated, this literally makes me cry.
Can anyone please please help me? What's the magic secret??

Some people just don't lose weight no matter what they do. I'm one of them. Make peace with it and learn to love yourself as is.
Good thing they don't write our weight on the gravestones.

Over time, I slowly put on weight. Over a year, I can gain about 8-10 pounds. Even while living this lifestyle. It terrifies me that I can not maintain my weight. I'm not even 40 yet. I don't think I can accept that. I'm over 200 pounds already.

I went low carb for almost two years...it was so so hard!!
I lost but didn't get to where I really wanted...and I CRAVED carbs LITERALLY!! I would walk into the grocery and just want to eat the danishes- I wouldn't but it was so so hard!! I was craving rice cakes!! anything with carbs!! so it was pretty torturous!
I then went low calorie and thats what worked for me....I got lower than where I got with the low carb and it was MUCH EASIER for me!! I tried to incorporate high fiber carbs like high protein pasta etc but if I wanted a rice cake after dinner, no big deal! I had a rice cake!
I did regain some since that low... (I had a baby, then nursing for a while etc...)
Hoping to do it again now after YT...
I use an online tool called nutritionix so it's super fast and easy to count your daily calories...
according to my height and build, I was eating around 1000 calories a day (but alot more on Shabbos) PLUS exercising (dancing and brisk walking)
now I got very into stationary biking as I can be on my computer while I do that (I bought a recumbent stationary bike)
so I get my exercise in that way...plus I walk alot and still dance...
hope this helps...(some people are not able to do this in a healthy emotional way so please please ignore if so...while I counted calories I am also "chilled" when it comes to events/restaurant eating etc...I enjoy food at those special times, mark it down and move on...I find I can be strict on a day to day, like a regular work Tuesday for instance, knowing that whenever there is a special occasion I just chill and enjoy...that's what worked for me...)

It sounds like your hypothyroidism - or more accurately, a general autoimmune disease - may still be lurking. When you get a blood test, does your body show signs of inflammation/infection?

Intermittent fasting with exercise.
I used to do low carb and it really worked when I really stuck to it. But it got too hard.
I like Intermittent fasting because you can eat a variety of foods. I don't eat whatever I want, I anyways prefer healthy foods...but it's more forgiving...
