Looking for friends w/Hashimotos and/or PCOS

LisaTay81

Hello my name is Lisa!

I recently found out I have Hashimoto's and PCOS. I have struggled for 5 years not knowing why I was gaining weight even though I was exercising and eating right.

My main focus to lose weight is because I am trying to get pregnant but my endo wont give me a referral to she a fertility specialist until I lose weight and my TSH levels are at 2.5. I also want to feel better about myself.

I am looking for friends that have Hashimoto's and PCOS and have had success losing weight. I would like to know what has worked for you. How much are you eating and working out? I need some guidance. I feel so lost.

I have been feeling discouraged so it would be nice to have friends that are going through the same things that I currently am.

Please do not add me if you are not an active member or if you do not like to give encouragement on here (meaning you never comment.) I will delete you! I recently deleted a bunch or people because no one talk on here anymore. I come on here for advice not to collect friends.

I have Hashimoto's. I lost way more slowly than most MFPers, so be patient. But I did it just like everybody else—by eating at a deficit. Read this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants
