I have gained weight over the past 7 years since working in retail. Mine is related to having to sit most of the time due to the fatigue worsening my energy. Also, the odd hours have me snacking more at night.

I was diagnosed with low thyroid and take meds each morning but I don't know how that affects my weight.

I know that part of mine is also my decreasing ability to walk and burn calories. I still have the same appetite of when I was much more active. Also, I love to cook.

It sounds like you are doing the right things with your diet. If you are drinking fruit juices or sugared sodas those can be calorie heavy. I switched to water for my main drink during the day.

I was up 30 pounds at one point but I have lost ten of those. As long as I can stay at that level I'm ok with that.
