I can’t loose weight no matter what I try! My doctor suggested going gluten free as it causes inflammation. I did loose ten founds not eating gluten as did my friend.

I have tried to lose weight all my life. I have a hypothyroidism so it makes it really hard. I was doing restorative yoga but their prices have gone up. So now I am youtubing it at home. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it makes things worse. I hope you can find some activity that will help you.

Yes I gained 50 taking high doses of steroids and I haven't been able to lose more than the first 10. I am like You, I hate how I look, I hate shopping, it all is just very depressing.
