Hypothyroid momma trying new things

Hello! I'm Liz and I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I am utilizing supplements (not medication) and dōTERRA essential oils to treat my deficiencies and boost thyroid function.
I have been struggling with weight gain for the past year and have just felt like junk. I lift, run, bike (and spin) and I'm a mom of 3. I had been on a strict paleo diet for 2.5 years, and the last year it was clear that it wasn't agreeing with me.
I did research, decided I needed more grains back in my diet, and also that I needed my thyroid levels checked.
I have been on myfitnesspal for 1.5 months now and I'm feeling so much better. The weight is starting to come off, and I have more energy.
That's my mini story. :)

    Hello! I also have hypothyroidism, am a mom of two (waiting to adopt a third and possible fourth), and have been using MFP (again) for almost 2 months. Feel free to add me.

    Thyroid issues make things a little more difficult, but tracking everything seems to be working for me so far! It's great that you are also seeing progress! Good luck to you!
