8 pounds in six days

If any of you have stuggled with weight loss despite your best efforts, youll be happy there is an answer. My wife has a history of a thyroid condition that has caused countless frustration with an unbudging scale.

Im so thrilled at her new approach this past week which netted an 8 pound loss in one week.

This is huge for a girl in her 40s with her medical condition. She feels like she just made it another week as a contestant on The Biggest Loser and feels hope at this early success. Im following her lead and hope to be able to post my results next week. Send me a friend request and Ill be posting how we both do..

8 lb loss in 1 week...sounds real healthy. What are you trying to sell?

I lost 9 pounds in one week with diet and exercise during my first week on MFP. Afterwards my weight loss slowed to a steady pace of two pounds per week.

I am not doing anything crazy, no surgery and no pills. Poster's wife's weight will probably normalize. Plus, he mentioned that she has a thyroid issue which can change how weight loss happens for people with thyroid problems.

I was reading your profile and it says she has had five kids and now works. I wonder if she had a tubal ligation? Many women who have tubals later have severe thyroid problems due to post-tubal syndrome.

I am glad she's losing, but eight lbs in one week is heading for a fall and probably signals an imbalance somewhere.

Or you're selling something.

Wow... Im not selling anything cept at our garage sale this weekend. BTW, My wife has never used any contraception or tubl. NFP has been our only way. Her MD says her thyroid disorder is most likely due nutritional factors affecting our food supply and especially the fluoride in our water supply.

If its actually fat weight loss, or if its mostly water weight, either way when you see that scale go down its still self-motivating. Congrats to her!

Yes, congratulations to her, too. it did sound too good to be true, but I'm glad that it is true. Is she journaling here, too?

You must be starving yourself if that is true. Very unhealthy to lose that much weight so fast.
