Hypothyroid Success Stories--Who made it to goal :)

Hi,

I have hypothyroidism and I know it contributes to weight gain. I also have been on medication that also contributed to weight gain however I told the doctor I wanted off of it. It's a struggle but I hope to be able to lose the weight I have gained. I go up and down. Do you have any suggestions on how to fight the hypothyroid weight gain?

A.

I have hypothyroidism and have lost more weight than I could have imagined this year. I had tried on my own to lose weight and it was such a struggle. I tried running, going to the gym and eating what I thought was healthy.

Last March was the first time I joined an accountability group and I began P90X. It was kind of like a Hail Mary for me since I hadn't had much success on my own. The only time I had seen big numbers drop on the scale was when I was struggling with depression and couldn't eat. Gained all the weight back and more once I recovered.

I decided to do P90X since I never completed it since I bought it 5 years ago! The accountability group I had was a nice group of ladies who were already fit not so overweight like me so I kind of felt out of place, but I got amazing results from eating healthy food, following the meal plan that came with my Beachbody workout.
I met my long term goal to hit the 140"s on the scale!

Even when medication is spot on it still seems harder.

Feel free to add me as a friend, I I would love to have myfitnesspal friends who struggle like I do and can relate to how much harder we have to work.

Hi in Hypo as well. Been at my goal weight of lower 180's since July of 2012. I started my journey at 282 lbs. I eliminated all
all my other meds beyond my hypo pill. I go in every 6 months to my Doc's office to make sure I'm still at the right dose.
Good Luck !!
