Guuuuuuuuurl, you better speak on it!! As I said in my first initial post here on MFP, it was a slap in the face to MYSELF when I got on those scales at the doctots office a couple of weeks ago; not this Thyroid disease, not my husbands, not my children's but M-E! I have made up in my mind to get this weight off of me! I am 35 years old and I move around at times like I am 95.

The hardest part I am dealing with is re-programming my mind to not just grab a Twix or Blue Belle container when I crave sweets, and you said it best (WE HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES!) No more sneaking and eating that second piece of pastry when everyone is not looking. How about I am trying to not eat the first peice to begin with.

I made excuses for the longest and lied to everyone around me...I will beat the odds that are against me! Ms. LetGo23...you are motovation enough, you are alive and typing here in this forum, which means the Good Lord has given you another chance to put one foot in front of the other! YOU CAN DO IT and guess what...I believe in YOU! :flowerforyou:

hi,

i am a 29 year male and been taking levo thyroxine since birth, i need some advise on how to gain a few pounds of mass, as im under weight,
my hight is 5ft.10in and 132lb, The ideal weight for my age and height should be 172lb,

i take 125mcg of levothyroxine per day, please help on why is it so hard to put on weight,

thanks

I wish I knew how to help you, but I do not. I was a skinny person until my early twenties & the battle began. If you are not eating enough you need to look at higher calorie but still healthy foods. Some folks just don't gain like others but if you can go on some of the boards that are for bulking up they would be able to tell you more of the types of carbs & proteins that would help. I hope you find what you need.
