Hi!

I have hypothyroidism caused by bulimia nervosa and weight loss (before medication) was impossible. I kept gaining and gaining and now I'm here to get my weight loss back on track. Right now, I'm on a starting dose of 100 mcgs of Synthroid for my hypothyroidism and I'm doing the BistroMD food delivery program with snacks. :) I'm really trying to break free of my bulimia nad hoping to meet new people on here that can help encourage me to lose weight THE HEALTHY WAY and of course, I'll be doing the same.

    Welcome,
    We are on the same page, I also sufer from Hypothyroidism and I take 122 mgs each day in the morning. i understand how harder it is for us. Not only did my thryoid went off the wall when I started counting calories but to get it in control was harder, the poking of needles, going to the doctors, trying different dosage....the list can go on. Finally, it looks like it's under control but sometimes I feel that it's not working-I guess it depends if i wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
    I only do calorie counting and some exercising. But it's hard to do both-so i am concentrating on my calorie counting first, then hoepfully i can MASTER the exercising (activities).

    I just started on Synthroid so I'm not sure what my final dosage will be. I'm sure you know how it is...going in ever 6 weeks to get checked...(grrr..). I am also only focusing on my calorie counting which is easy with BistroMd (I love it, can you tell?) lol. I do have a major self control issue. My doctor thinks I have hygperglycemia which will be checked after I go in to see how my thyroid is doing. I don't workout and being tired all the time gives me a lack of motivation although I try and get out as much as possible.

    Good luck on your weight loss journey. :)
