My fitness is ruined I can't lose weight no matter what I try, I feel like a fat failure and a loser help!?
Please if you're going to make a stupid comment save it. Semi-professional help if you can give it? So when I was 18 5'11 I weighed aprox. 235lbs with blood pressure ranging to 165/110. I hired a trainer and lost 20lbs because of what my doctor told me. My training sessions were up and decided to take what I learned and try myself. I ate lower calories then usual and lost about 15 more pounds in 2008 in 2009-2010 I stayed at the same weight no matter what I tried, so I went from low calorie foods and increased cardio so I would burn about 900-1,200 calories a day on the tredmill and elliptical. I then lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and kept it steady for a year in 2011. Yet again I wanted to get to 175 but the same high cardio low calorie wasn't working anymore no matter what I did even regular reps weren't building much muscle. So my friend told me about the low carb diet and muscle confusion where he suggested I take the highest number of weight with lower reps and work my way up to highest number of reps with lower the weight, which when completed I had never seen such results from a diet and the muscle confusion I also did less cardio. I then shedded 25 pounds in 4-5 months in 2012. I was extremely pleased with the results. Then I kept it steady for the rest of the year until I gained back the weight in December of 2012 when I went on vacation until I hit 205pounds which is current! I tried high cardio with low carb for 2 weeks with eating Salmon brown rice and lot of meat-less products containing soy and vegetable, which taste great!, and didn't lose a pound I'm so frustrated I want to cry! I feel like I did all that hard work for nothing I now I'm back to my fat self! I've tried low calorie and low fat nothing is working! I went to the doctors they did blood tests and didn't find anything wrong. He wanted to prescribe me Orlistat but I don't think I want the risks so I told him I'll think about it. Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I'm impatient but geezus this is making me depressed I feel like a loser and I'll never amount to anything. I was happy when I had lost all the weight now I don't even want to hit the gym because all the time I put in their is meaningless. Any diet plan or routine would be great or just plain help? p.s. I cannot take supplements with caffeine because of an increase in panic attacks if I do, I cannot even drink coffee.

Hey, hey, hey, nobody's perfect. You just have to accept yourself the way you are. Nothing wrong with being fat.

Simple, you need to try a low-carb HIGH-FAT diet. You had success in the past limiting your carbs -- when you've had success, it was because you were reducing carbs either deliberately (low-carb) or incidentally (low-calorie) But you weren't really doing it right or in a sustainable way. You were not eating enough fat.
A proper low-CARB diet is a HIGH-FAT diet. And it contains MEAT, not any goddam "meatless" products. YES YOU NEED TO EAT FAT. More than 50% of your calories. Read the links below and start discovering the natural human diet. Or, just be fat and have high blood pressure the rest of your life.
And you DON'T have hyperthyroidism, that comment is ridiculous. You're a guy who packs on pounds when you eat carbs. Lots of people like that. Common as dust.

you have many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism , either an underactive thyroid or thyroid resistance where the cells can't use the thyroid hormones even if they are at normal levels with an underactive thyroid it is impossible to lose weight or build muscle, try T3 (cytomel or tertroxin) or T4 (eltroxin) thyroid medicine is 40 years out of date in the treatments available cellular T3 depletion is only just starting to be recognized, topical antimicrobials like triclosan can cause it as can some steroids
