Hi, my name is Annette and I am a dedicated wife and mom of 2. My weight challenge started about 9 years ago after I had my son and was diagnosed with a Thyroid problem. I currently take 200mg of the synthroid meds and weight is still a challenge for me. My SW as of today is 230 and I would love to lose down to 165. Anyone with advice or who also have thyroid issues who can give me idea or help in anyway...please let me know...

Hi Annette!
My name is Kandee and I am with you. I never lost the weight after each one of my three children. I am currently on 150 mg of synthroid. I thought once I got on the medicine my weight would start to come down, but it didn't. I have no help for you right now, but can sympathize and support you. I weigh 198 today and would love to get down to 145. Good luck!0 -
Yes thyroid does play a role in gaining weight, i was diagnosed when i was 14, but i currantly take a very LOW dose, still if i dont take it, im sleeping all the time. For us folks with Thyroid issues, i wish i had some advise, we just have to take it 1 day at a time, watch your caleries, and make any adjustments you may need, also consult your doctor maybe he/she has some suggestions??

thank you for the comment. I have been on the meds for 9 yrs and the weight goes down and by 5, but that's it. I am starting p90X today also, so maybe that will help. I am a very picky eater so that is something i have to work on also......0
