DESPERATE for HELP!!!

&#thirteen;

Good day there! I’m in DESPERATE want of ideas.

I’m very neatly versed in diet and train. I’m a nurse practitioner and have spend my complete grownup lifestyles specializing in a nutritious diet and train. When you consider that I was once a toddler, it has all the time been very laborious for me to handle my weight.

I’ve eaten a Vegan food regimen for two years now. For six-7 years, I’ve eaten 1200ish energy per day. I’ve VERY robust self keep watch over. I be sure to get protein within the type of a whey protein shake for lunch and or dinner. I dont consume any quick meals or muffins. I’ll every so often overeat on Christmas or one thing, however that’s it.

I like to see. For the final 5 years I’ve completed a bootcamp M/W/F a week. Within the ultimate 2 years, I began working too. Most often 5-eight miles. I’m now training for a marathon. I run about 20-25 miles total in a weeks times.

Typical week:



Monday: boot camp in morning, running after work.



Tues: Run in morning, run after work



Wed: Boot camp in morning



Thursday: Run in morning, run after work



Friday: boot camp in morning, usually run after work



Saturday: long run (10-13 miles)



Sunday: rest or run

I do all the things “they” say to do: drink tons of water, eat small meals through out the day, focus on high protien diet, dont eat after 6pm, get 8 hours of sleep, ect.

When in college, I worked crazy hard to get to 125 for my wedding. Since then, I have steadily gained weight despite increasing my efforts. I now weigh 150! (I am 5’7″) I know its not an unhealthy weight. My BMI is 23. My %body fat is 21.5%. I know this is healthy. My frustration lies in the fact that its taking SO MUCH to just stay this weight! I work out 10-12 times per week and eat 1200 calories and stay the same.

I have the most amazingly supportive husband that has allowed me to consult several (expensive) professionals.

Nutritionist: She had me increase my total calories slowly over 3 months. (1400 for 1 month, and 1600 the next 2 months). I gained 7 ilbs and have not gotten it back. I stopped consulting her and went back to 1200.

Endocrinologist: I do have slight hypothyroidism. I was started on medication 2 years ago. I am still increasing my dose slowly. I am up to 100 mcg with a goal to have my TSH close to 1. She did all sorts of hormonal labs to make sure nothing else was wrong. All came back normal. (TSH: 2.08, Free T4: 1.3, Free T3: 2.5, Cortisol: 0.7, Testosterone: 41, 17-Hydroxyprogesterone)

Personal Trainer: On tues/thurs I have a personal trainer that coaches me and 2 other on running.

Exercise Physiologist: Had my resting metabolism measured, as well as my % body fat. My resting metabolism is 1340 (low average). By his calculations, I should eat 1400-1800 calories per day. It would take 2300 calories per day for me to gain weight per his calculations.



My % body fat with the calipers is 21.5%.

Hypnosis: Yep, this is how far I went. It was better than I thought. I wanted to see if they would help me be more positive about my goal. Obviously, i get down about it sometimes because of my serious hard work and lack of results. I do feel more positive about it. He also told me to focus on listening to my body. Eat when Im hungry. Stop when Im full. Eat slow, drink lots of water between. Im have been working on this.

So… what do you think?

Am I missing one thing? Does someone have any tips that may lend a hand? I get tremendous determined. &#thirteen;
