    I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after my daughter was born. I gained 35 pounds in 1 year. Then had 2 more kids. I'm currently down 21 pounds 54 to go!

    I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2011. I take cytomel (t3) and synthroid. I am have a hard time losing and keeping it off. Fatigue is a big issue for me as is water retention. I have tried many different approaches nutritionally and am frustrated! I am starting peri-menopause now and it feels more challenging to maintain, never mind lose! I am glad to find this discussion.

    I have been hypothyroid for like 15 years. After having a (surprise) baby at 39 - I haven't felt right since. My levels keep coming back ok, so I did some research and just ordered a thyroid supplement from Zhou for around $20 and have seen a HUGE difference in my energy levels. Now, this may not be for everyone, but I suspected that my thyroid was causing the weight gain, depression, anxiety and just general feeling of being unwell. I still take synthyroid and am doing 1200 calories a day, and have lost almost 3 pounds this week! Best of luck! I know the struggle!

    I'm so very pleased for you, jamielynn. Congratulations on the special delivery too. I think many of us are sold short on the need for supplements like selenium which helps the conversion of t4 to t3, I also do better with a level of iodine in my support system too. All too often we have to think outside the conventional box because much slips past our advisors. We do have to think for ourselves and be careful not to over do things.
