You still need to give me some more info. You say that sometimes your diet is good. Please give me an example or outline of your "good diet". Danni, I need to know you height and weight. Danni, your body is in a starvation mode, right now as we speak. Since your daily food requirements ar very low if not minimal, your body will never "firm up" or BURN FAT!!!! Your body thinks it is starving so it is producing more fat to survive. If you multiply your weight by 11, this will give you the total number of calories you should be consuming every day, and this is just for maintenance! Example: A 120lb woman multiply by 11 , 120X11=1320 calories. As for your cardio you can add some type of interval type trainiong whether it be on the bike, stairmaster or treadmill this wiil really get your heart rate going. A "spinning" class would be a great interval workout. The sensation that you get of always wanting something in your mouth should tell you something!!!! Your starving yourself!!! What if you did gain 5lbs by eating more but what if it was lean muscle rather than the loose flabby skin that I presume you have at this point. Danni, if you get your diet on the right track, and with proper weight training (not overtraining) you may lose five to ten pounds of fat. The minute you enhance your diet and get yourself out of starvation mode you will see the fat start to melt away. As for a fat burner I would suggest trying (Hydroxycuts) this way you wont have to mess with mixing and figuring numbers. As for the "flab" on the hip and inner thigh region you can try using a cable machine. Standing attach cable from right to left on left ankle and sort of swing leg out to left side so that you are pulling the weight and cable away fro your body. This will work great for you hips. Remember to alternate sides. Sorry, I'm no5t explaining this very well. Then attach to other leg and pull into your body while standing for the inner thigh. For the hip pull away from body, for the inner thigh pull in to body. I f you dont have access to the cable machine, Lye on your side w/ ankle weights and do the same movements. This is also very useful because you can do this one at home. Remember with your diet "right" and your training "right" you might not lose any weight but you will definately lose body-fat!!! Therefor being a new muscle toned woman that feels good physically and most importantly feels good about herself.
PLEASE ASK MORE QUESTIONS!!!! AND REPLY SOON!!!!

I'm trting towork with you here. But your really starting to piss me off. All you ever want to know is what other supplements to take. These drugs are not the answer to your problems, your diet is. DO THE ATKINS DIET!!!! READ THE BOOK!!! IT WILL WORK!!! You said that you crave meat, well this would be the perfect diet for you. You need to eat!!!! Especially low-glycemic foods. Carrots are ranked high on the glycemic index. The thyroid pills will give you some added energy but they will not help your metabolism, beacause you basically dont have one because you are not eating. And your workouts!!! You've got to be kidding me!!! 4 1/2 hours in the gym, what did you do make up for four days missed in the gym, (definately overtraining).Danni I won't guarantee it but I think on the Atkins diet you will be able to lose as much as 10 lbs in two weeks maybe more!!!! (hooray!!!) And thats just the induction part of the diet. Then there's the ongoing part and then the maintenance part. The amount of weight that you will be able to lose will be phenominal!!!! 4 months left huh, your crazy thats more than enough time. I'm talking one month and you might be where you want to be. Your weight will decrease drastically. You will most likely lose the first five lbs in the first five days, you'll be so excited!!! Danni you need to get the Atkins book, you ca eithe buy the new re-advised and updated version at your local bookstore or you may be able to check it out at your local library, it most likely wouldn't be the new one at the library but there really is not much difference other than the recipes. I have read the book, so if you have any questions. More questions, PLEASE!!! Keep in contact, get your diet in order soon!!!! All the meat and fat you want, but cut carbs out completely besides one small to medium salad a day (maximum 20 grams of carbs a day for the first two weeks.) And another thing you have to realize that the number of calories that the treadmills and stairmasters are saying your burning are NOT!!! accurate so dont try to burn off all your calories(say, pudding pops) on these machines because it will take hours. I speculate you are probably doing this. Contact me soon!!!
