This is the problem I ran into last year after several surgeries caused my activity level to drop. I started packing on the pounds. To the tune of almost 30 lbs in a year. I tried to adjust my eating habits and found no success. I began to feel more and more tired. Finally I had to ASK my Dr for a Thyroid test (which btw was a little low) and I had to ASK my Dr how to loose weight. Until I did that all I heard was - yeah loosing a few lbs would be good too. Lotta help that was. Also I had to start doing a lot of research myself to find out what a better balance was for me. Only recently have I really started to loose any weight. The majority of the reason is not eating less because according to all sources I should not eat less than 1000 calories a day (and that's a low count from what I understand) and I've not been eating more than a hundred or two more than that on a regular basis. I am an active person too as well. The activity that finally started the weight loss was working construction for 8-10 hours a day in 90+ degree heat.
