It is possible, even with thyroid disease.

I wish i had seen posts like this years ago.

So, I'm making one.

I have Hashimotos. I have for about 8 years. I couldn't lose for the LONGEST time, despite my efforts. Exercise with HRM, weighing food with my scale and logging EVERYTHING, this diet, that diet, I tried it all.

Then I researched on my ownand stopped just trusting doctors.

I knew something else had to bewrong with me and no one would listen.

I was right. I had celiac disease. It wasn't just my thyroid like they said. Nope. I was literally dying of malnutrition from this ugly beast of a disease.

Fast forward to February of 2015. I was diagnosed by a doctor I've never met. I told hermy symptoms and she said she'd bet her license i have celiac.

Immediately gluten free. I found out i was ppregnant 2 days after my diagnosis.

I started at 228 lbs, my highest non pregnancy weight. 228 at 5'2, ew, right?

I'm 169 now. 6 lbs away from, according to the silly BMI charts, being just overweight. Not obese.

I have a ways to go, but here i am. -59 lbs. 4 kids. 3 autoimmune diseases.

Never lose hope. Stick to your guns. Your health is in your hands. It is totally possible to kick hashi's *kitten*!! I'm also close to remission, which is extremely hard to do. I have an appointment with my amazing endocrinologist in 2 weeks to find out if I'm there!

You got this.

I only wish I had true before pictures.
