    @tiffkittyw are you set now to keep going with medication change.. I hope your doc has you "hooked up" now...

    You have not been doing ok, you have been doing fantastic with 13 lbs in 7 weeks...

    The scale issue being set wrong would have made me sigh at first then I would have jump into my happy dance!! :):):)

    Well I just returned from the doctor and she put me on Thyroid medication, 2,000 units of D3 (I was already taking 1,000), and B12 :neutral: I'm a mess. I told her I've been trying to lose weight and she said my under active thyroid might make it difficult, but I think I've been doing ok (13 lbs in 7 weeks). On a positive note, the young lady who weighed me in set the scale to 100 before she realized it needed to be set at 150. At least she doesn't think I'm as fat as I really am :smile:
    I bet you have lost some inches with those 13 pounds ! Congrats Tiff in taking control of your health and working on losing weight. Most Americans are low in D3, and when at proper levels in the system it will help keep the pounds off ! I know many ppl that have to take a lot of units of D3..... Also, When you balance the thyroid, so many other hormones will become balanced as well. You can do this Tiff, hang in there!

    Thanks for the support everyone! I need to have the lab work repeated in early December to see if everything is working for me.

    I'm very interested in following this thread. I just started on LCHF yesterday. I'm going to give it a full 30 days to see how my body changes. Reading your (previous) posts has been very informative! Thanks!

    13lbs in 7 weeks is AMAZING! Hopefully the medication will help where it needs to but from the sound of it, you've totally got this! And regardless of what the scale really said, that's still an awesome feeling for someone else to estimate you lower than you are. :)

    That's a pretty impressive loss! Doctors don't know everything especially when it comes to personal determination. Don't let that doctor dampen your determination! While I do hope the thyroid issue is totally taken care of I have no doubt you will reach your goals!

    Congrats Tiff! That is awesome. My mom and sis on thyroid meds and I know from them that it can be frustrating and take a bit of time for changes. I wish you well (but again, you seem to be doing great!).

    Good morning everyone! Anyone cares to share what they're eating today? For breakfast I had 2 scrambled cream cheese eggs with diced onions and peppers and cubed ham. For lunch I'm having leftover taco salad, dinner is kind of up in the air.. My snacks usually depends on what I'm feeling at the time. For snacks I have packed guacamole with sliced peppers, dannon light and fit greek yogurt and almonds. Happy Hump Day!

    Today I'm doing a high carb day. I just started thyroid medication so around 10 am I will have my protein shake for breakfast, lunch is tuna with light mayo on a 100 calorie sandwich thin, dinner is bean and cheese tostadas, snacks are Greek yogurt, Apple, 100 calorie popcorn, and a high protein granola bar.

    That's the plan I'm actually on now. But I'm going insane without the Carbs. I'll be transitioning over to cycling next week. Good luck to you!

    I forgot to ask you..Are you following Chris Powell's plan or have you modified the concept to fit your goals?
