I joined over a year ago. Things were going really well. It started to go wrong and I lost confidence when i was diagnosed at 20 years old with Autoimmune hypothyroidism and Poly Cystic Ovarian syndrome. Now is the struggle to prove all doctors wrong that have basically said I can manage the wieght I put on with disorder but won't completely lose all the wieght i put on from before diagnosis, as with both conditions together it is nearly impossible. I refuse to believe I am stuck being this wieght and this unhealthy. They believe the only way can lose wieght through surgery. I am going prove them wrong! I am 21 and starting all over again from a few pounds below what I started the journey at. But I still can do it!!! It just may take slightly longer!!

I have been finding it very Jardine to get motivated with all the negativity around. Hopefully starting to Uswest this site properly will help.

In the time leading up to diagnosis I put on 7 stone in 8 months. Doctors don't know why the disorders came on so quickly and so strongly but they did. I can't keep thinking about it I need to move forwards. Hopefully there is someone on here in a similar situation?

If you are please tell me for mutual support. Or even better any success stories from a similar situation as me would be great motivation?

Thank you all for reading.

    You need new Dr's for sure! I have PCOS and Hashimoto's. makes it harder, and slower, but its still possible. I'm struggling a bit to lose my last 15 lbs or so, but I've been very successful. It may have taken me almost 2.5 years to get here, but here I am!

    I am on levrothyroxin... That's it. But I feel so up and down its been hard to get the right dose. Well i won't be seeing that doctor again anyway. As she basically said last visit that unless I want surgery there is nothing more she can do to help me and doesn't need to see me again.
