Broken

Not an easy solution, but it sounds like you need to drop your husband to start with. I'd look for a 2nd opinion from another dr and see a nutritionilst.

I agree, you need a second opinion regarding your synthroid. Also, I'm not sure of your age, however if you are nearing menopause, or have reached menopause that will also affect your metabolism and your mood. It probably wouldn't hurt to talk to your dr about a low dose medication for depression. Also, be sure to measure your waist and hips. Alot of times you may not be losing pounds, but inches.

Don't let your husband drag you down. He is not a woman, and he has no clue about our metabolism. Ignore him like the plague. Keep working out, and keep eating right. You will get there. It won't happen overnight. You didn't gain your weight overnight, and you can't lose it overnight either. Also, make sure you are not retaining water. Sometimes we retain water, and that tells the scales that we aren't losing, when in fact we are. Even 1 10th of a pound is a success, don't forget that.

been there, I cannot say if for you are the same reasons, but it might help you to find out what is wrong with you. I also have hypothyroidism, I startet on 50 and am now on 137 and finally my blood work looks better there. But still I did not loose weight, I did not have any energy and deep depressions. A coworker then told me to go to the doctor and let the doctor check me for insulin resistance, because that is not done in normal blood work. Said and done and yes I was told I am insulin resistant and also had a total lack of vitamin D and B12, no wonder I wanted to sleep and then sleep and then sleep. My motivation is better now, I can finally loose weight, but not without exercise. I went from 184 to 260 in less than a half year. A lot to do with depressions too, though I am on medication for that too now and that helps. And for my weight gain... I ate between 1300 and 1500 calories a day and walked out dog between 2 and 3 hours each day and gained weight. So it can have health issues, just to be sure let them check out your vitamin levels and if you have insulin resistance, but as for the depressions, that did not change with the better blood work or the better energy and motivation.
And when I read about your husbands attitude towards you, yes I guess my depressions would get worse too, try talking with your doctor about anti depressants and when your health gets better and motivation and energy gets up that might lift your self confidence
Life is too short - live it!!!

I'm sorry. I'm also sure that your toxic relationship probably contributes to your self reported depression. You are beautiful no matter what size you are, remember that is NOT what defines you as a person...it's just a number. I know how much words can actually hurt, regardless of what you tell yourself about them not. Try to surround yourself with positive, like-minded people who support & motivate you. As for your husband, that is your personal business but I hope against odds for your sake that he gets a clue. Good luck & be happy! PS: You are the one in control of your own happiness, don't count on someone else to find it for you!:flowerforyou:

I'm the same height as you and gained the same amount of weight to diagnose my hypothyroidism. I do believe it's miss understood and people think it's an excuse. But I also don't think that the weight gain is strictly a result of the slightly impaired metabolism. I think it's more to do with your state of mind. Do people realise that depression is one of the symptoms? And that's how it gets you. When it first started for me, I was beyond tired, I felt like I couldn't hold my body up up. I would make myself stand up on the train to work, near the door, holding onto the bar so I couldn't fall asleep and miss my stop. Working my 14 hour shifts was torture. And I was cold, ridiculously cold all the time. So naturally I stopped being as physically active, took all I could to not spend all my spare time curled up in a duvet. And I don't know about you but I hardly ate - I just didn't have an appetite which is also common. Since starting MFP I have had to make myself eat more .....and it seems to be working for me. I'll never be able to eat my exercise calories back (unless I'm going out for an indulgent meal or drinks) cause I'm just not hungry. My levels are "normal" now, even when I went to the doctor in April and cried like a baby cause I was so depressed and begged her to recheck my levels again, she said I didn't need to be on a higher dose. She also offered me antidepressants which I declined. I took a higher dose of thyroxine anyway. I had some left over from when my prescription changed before (please note I am not a medical professional and do not advise you do what I did), took it for 2 months and then went back to the doctors. I told her what I had done, told her how much better I felt (lost about a stone at this point) and she has amended my prescription. Maybe it's all psychological, but it's worked for me. And simply having more energy to do things has made me feel 100% more positive.
I think my point is, it doesn't always matter what your "levels" are it's about how you feel, so go back to your doctor and tell them how depressed you are (it is a symptom of hypothyroidism). Maybe ask to try a higher dose for a month.
I can't see your diary so don't know what you're eating but for me the problem was not what I was eating, I just wasn't eating often enough - i feel constantly stuffed now but the weight is shifting.
Also your depression might have something to do with your *kitten* of a husband, what's worse than that. Either way your state of mind needs healing. Maybe you need to surround yourself with more supportive people, even if it's just us on here. Maybe it needs medically treating ...you'll know what's right for you.
And I agree with adhillman01. I also take a vitamin D supplement.
Get yourself back to the doctors and ask for help. Good luck xx
