20 years into Hypothyroidism

Donna_Castanon

Hi everyone, my name is Donna and I have been dealing with hypothyroidism for over 20 years now. I have been on a rollercoaster ride since then with my weight. I maintain blood work every 6 months and I take thyroid meds. When I first started this venture the doctor told me I will gain weight quickly but will not be able to lose weight. I gained 100 lbs. with each of my kids and struggled to get the weight off. I decided one day that I will prove them wrong. Since then I have lost over 70 lbs. total. This past year I have taken off 30 through exercise and eating right. It is a tough thing to deal with it but it is possible. I know everyone can do this, just motivate yourself.
