hey guys, I have a 3 month old baby girl and im nursing her so i have to be extra carful about my diet. About 5 days ago I started a raw food diet except for at dinner I have some kind of cooked protein. I have also had hypothyroidism for about 10 years and it makes it even harder because I have to change my dosage of thiroyd replacment every 10 pounds so i can keep losing weight. I am just sooo frustrated about being this big and am trying to have the patience to do it the healthy way.

welcome! cant help u much with the hyperthroidism but as a nursing mom of an 11 wk old, i have to say im here to support. make sure u add me as a freind if ud like and dont forget to add in your nursing calories everyday. we burn 3-500 calories just for feeding our babies! just type in breastfeeding in the food data base to look it up.0

My daughter is 3 now. I nursed her for 22 months, and I, too, have hypothyroidism. My highest weight since my daughter was 248 lbs. I currently weigh 222 lbs. Trust me when I say, I totally understand! I know you can do it! There are so many success stories on this site and I know soon you will be one of the success stories too Good luck!0
