can't be active because of thyroid problem
So i have a thyroid problem, so I can't really be too active , cuz i guess i could have a heartattack. But i have gained so much weight, and some people say it could be because of my thyroid, but i eat alot.. and now i can't loose weight. I weighed 115 in september and now im 145!! I am going crazy, i can barely fit into anything, i went up from a size 2-5 pants to a 9! Its just making me sad! I don't know what to do
What are some good things to keep me entertained and not eating , but not to active
Thanks <3 xox

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
I would phone this doctor of yours and tell his receptionist that he/she has you so paranoid not to even exercise. Tell them about your weight gain and fear of death. Lay it out like that and they'll set you straight on exercising. Odds are they want you to do some exercising but not overdo it. They want you to stop when it feels too much.
Get an appointment with the doctor and have them draft up exercises you can do to lose weight, stay healthy and eat right. For that last one you should get a referral to a nutritionist who will weigh you do your BMI and set you up with a plan to succeed.
If your doctor tells you that you can't do a ton of exercise it's their responsibility to illustrate what you can do. If they haven't done that then they've failed you. Let them correct the mistake and if you have no confidence in their advice find another doctor. This is something they shouldn't have overlooked.
Weight is based on height so I'm not sure where you should be. As hard as it is cutting out chips, candy, chocolate, cake and all sweets is best. It's brutally hard but if you replace it with apples, celery with peanut butter (or without depending), carrots, rice cakes (non flavored) and popcorn (non-buttered, little salt) you'll be fine.
When it comes to exercising you could go for power walks, small jogs or laps around a track, swimming would be fine too. In fact maybe the best option open.
If you have some cash in the bank and a hell of a lot of patience check out stores that sell video games for WII Fit (I'm not a Nintendo employee) but it allows you to do stretches, balance games, aerobic exercises, strength exercises and more fun and safely at whatever pace you can.
You can tight-rope walk, play soccer, boxing, do Yoga poses, you name it. It teaches you how to do them. You will lose weight if you do it for an hour a day every day. It maps your progress and checks your weight every time with a body test. It's a coveted machine but if you look hard...
I'm recommending it as I went from 216 pounds to 173 using it and only 3 nights a week of kickboxing. I would not have got to 173 easy without it being in my home when I couldn't workout.

i'm not a doctor but i'm guessing you have an underactive thyroid. i'm assuming you are on medication for this. my dad has the same thing. you can still exercise. since you said about heart attacks, it probably is a good idea to have a check up done at a doctor's before you start any exercise program. you are definitley going to have to start to count calories. i know it is boring. but you are going to have to. keep a food diary or plan al of your meals in advance so you won't be gaining weight. if you want to lose weight, you will definitley have to exercise more frequently as well. it is more difficult to lose weight when having a thryroid condition, but it isn't impossible. it's tricky to do much at the moment because the weather may interfer but spend more time outsdie. you are just simply going to eat less if you are not in the house. you won't have the temptations. you won't eat becasue you are bored. if you have a dog, take it for a walk or go on one yoruself. maybe go shoot hoops or do yardwork or something. i dont' know your interests. but weight is such tricky stuff. a person could put a pound of weight on in a day but it may take anywhere from 2 to 11 days to get it off. the goal is to never have days where you will gain. if you do that, it will simply work out.
