I have hashimotos and so i swing between hypo amd hyper :( I am not familiar with how to add friends onto my app so feel free to send me an invite, add me or whatever it is you do lol :)

    I have Hashimoto's. Thyroid meds (in my case, Synthroid + Cytomel) reduce the fatigue so I can be more active. But I still kept gaining until I learned to log everything I eat & drink accurately & honestly. Logging works.

    Friend request sent. I lost the weight & have maintained for nine months. You can do this.

    Thanks for the add! I am taking an herbal supplement called Thyroid Complex because the rx meds weren't working for me. I am so taking other supplements such as vit d, fish oil, etc. I have found out that I have to workout twice as hard and I have noticed if I burn at least 600 calories a day I lose.

    Congrats on your weight loss!

    I lost really slowly (30 lbs. in a year and a half), so be patient!
