I'm 14yrs old and I have stretch marks on my breasts, upper arms, stomach, and the backside of my knees. I'm goin to loose weight, but swimsuit season is coming up, so I need something that'll help quickly.
Help! Is this a liver condition?

Lately I have been having problems with my thyroid (swelling of the neck, shortness of breath/rapid pulse, sweating/hot all the time, insomnia, eye protrusion, hair falling out, weight loss, the list goes on), and getting the doctors to check it is like pulling teeth. My doc only checked my TSH level (I have been too antsy to concentrate in school so she said it would be good to check my thyroid but for w.e. reason she left out my T3 & T4). I am left handed/anbidexterous (a risk factor for Grave's disease) & my LEFT HANDED paternal grandfather was a type 1 diabetic. My maternal aunt has scleroderma & hypothyrodism. I have raynauds phenomion & have flare ups of joint pain/swelling. I get white spots in my fingers, neck, & feet. (I have been tested for lupus, RA, blah blah blah but everything's f***cking negative). My thyroid condition seems to be flaring up again, but lately despite having smooth, velvety skin, i have had itchy rashes & my skin looks yellowish. I have been INCREDIBLY hungry the past few days (and i am NOT PMSing) & despite eating a lot I have lost weight (not a dramatic amount though). (When my thyroid flares up I do loose weight despite eating HUGE portions, but I do not recall being THIS hungry!) I am eating very healthfully (that is my nature & i eat 100% gluten/dairy free). On the other hand, the past two days I have pooped 4-5X each day. This may sound like TMI, but my poops had been green, then they became yellow, and now they are really loose & grey. This sounds weird, but I smelled something funny & my sweat underneath my pits smells fruity & sweet. So yeah, is there something going on with my liver, or what could this be?
Stretch marks….?

I am currently watching what I eat and, so far, have lost 7lbs. The only down side is that I have stretch marks on my tummy area from childbirth and these are becomming more wrinkly/loose as I loose weight. I excersice daily paying attention to my upper and lower abdomen but I wanted to know if there are any lotions and potions on the market that could tighten this skin back up. I am very proud of my baby badges but they are now starting to look a little unsightly and I'm a bit embarrassed to get my bikini out for my hols in 5 weeks.
Genuine answers only please, thanks
How much would loosing weight affect my arthritis?
I have had arthritis since I was like 20. (I am 26 now.) It is getting so bad lately ... Even with meds I can't play much with my 6 year old, I can't drive my car, I can only make it through half a day at work, I can't even fully dress myself!
Due to severe depression, I have reached a new all-time high in the weight department this year. I am determine to loose weight. But I am curious ... Is it likely to have much of an affect on the arthritis in my wrists? I mean, it's not like they have to support the weight of my body. But I am sure that being overweight is having some impact on them - I just don't know how much.
What are exercises a 14 year old can do with arthritis?
I can't really run because of my arthritis so running is out of the question. It needs to be something that is low impact on my joints but can help me loose weight. I want to loose 30 pounds before the beginning of high school on september 7th. Thanks for the help!
