Hi everyone! I’m Lee, 45, 205lbs, a SAHM of 2 boys, divorced, recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
This time, 3yrs ago, I was 135lbs and just finished my 2nd of 5 Spartan races. Since then, I’ve gained 70lbs!!!!! I’m heavier now than I was pregnant!
I thought my thyroid was the culprit but my levels have “normalized” with medication. However, my calorie deficit/tracking/activity haven’t moved the scale at all!
I’m fighting what feels like an uphill, defeating battle to get back to 135lbs!
I’m trying everything to keep motivated because I’m realizing the scale does not move at the pace it used to anymore!
I’m sure we’re all similarly fighting the same battle, I just needed to finally verbalize it... thanks for being my space!
