To this group anyways. :o)

I have been overweight since I was in the 5th grade though my doctors told my mom I was just "fat"
I was finally diagnosed with Hypothyroidism when I was 18 and my endocrologist told me it was so bad that I was lucky to wake up that morning.

I have been on Levothyroxin since for 9 years.
When i was first put on it the weight was easy to lose.
I gained some of it back and then wen I changed my career to something more outdoors I lost 30lbs and was almost to my goal weight when I got prego with my son.
Being prego with him I gained 100lbs from having toxemia and my thyroid going crazy.

I am now on the journey to lose 110lbs total. I am already down 22lbs and still feel like my metabolism is dragging A**.

Looking for support and ppl that understand what I am going thru because I think when ppl can relate it makes the journey that much easier.

    So glad you're here! I'm sorry I didn't say hello till now - been out traveling for work.

    I'm finding that my metabolism has hit a wall. How often do you have your thyroid levels checked?

    Good luck with your journey!
