Am I sexy enough?

That's interesting what you're saying about the iodine supplement. I read an interesting book on various aspects of treating a range of 'incurable' conditions and two of them were hyper-and hypothyroidism. The interesting fact was that iodine was being used to treat both conditions. Obviously that's when you are lucky to…

As for weight loss, I know it is possible and I never push the things forwards as I don't believe in quick weight loss. I'm not disciplined enough to maintain the results. I realise that in hypothyroidism it is LIFESTYLE that needs to be changed. I have tried 1200kcal and in a long run, it didn't work. I have decided…

A lot going on here. I'm sure you All have come a long way to come to your thyroid arrangements. I also believe that a good doctor is the one who displays their interest and listens before they act.

I was diagnosed 12 years ago, Hashimoto's about 3 months ago. I'd been on 25 till then. Had to push my doc really hard to change it to a higher dose. Must say that I feel so much better! Unfortunately my weight seems to be an issue. I've heard and read a lot about Hashimoto's and I honestly and truthfully don't know what…

Hello! I'm NW. Just looking for some strong, motivated people who experienced some low-downs but picked themselves up and kept going. I am losing my spirits ;)

How do I know if it's been damaged? Seems like my doctor is experimenting too with what works and what doesn't.

Editorgrrl, thanks for getting involved. Guys I already feel more motivated. I can't remember when I last had that 'I can' attitude. I heard many times that through good eating and a healthy diet you can eliminate symptoms of the disease but I guess it's just my excuse to keep gaining weight. I will honestly and truthfully…

Thanks Primrose Flower! Same story here. I lose and then gain, swings in roundabouts. I noticed though that when I lose weight I just ease of on myself a little and let myself go sometimes. I ended up drinking cherry syrup latte and never logged one in. WhenI found out how many calories one cup provides to your body I…

I've never been much into fats, I don't even enjoy butter but just managed to have some on my sandwich. It's actually very helpful what you're saying. I do eat a lot of fat free diary purely because it hadshigher amounts of proteins which fills me up and keeps me going. Sometimes I pick up food in a local store and scan…

Cblue thanks for that. I guess I feel too proud of any type of physical activity during a day so I just add it and never question anything. I guess it's the way forward, I thought adding stuff that is roughly what it should be was still fine. I guess it's where I have been mistaken. Mamapeach, with carbs I guess they are…
-
Mamapeach, that's super helpful! Thanks a lot! Will get a scale asap. You've just opened my eyes. I would never think that even the packages are dodgy to the point that we overeat. I really struggle to stick to gluten free and even if I do I'm just constantly hungry. Thank you ever so much for essential info!
-
Cheers Guys! I have already picked myself up from the misery. Hashimoto is my issue too (gluten free and all sorts of things). Mamapeach I don't measure it. It's mostly bar codes scanning, info from boxes and packets or info from MFP.

Cheezels, I get my blood tests done very regularly and if there are any concerns the dose is being adjusted. At the moment I'm on levothyroxine 50. Although I'm feeling better (still wouldn't say energetic though) it doesn't seem to help with weight loss. It's frustrating and demotivating. I believe that medication is…
-
Thank you for your detailed response! 1) I started using MFP to gain more understanding about the quality of food I eat and macros. At some point I noticed that I started to gain weight. 2) I am only 5'3', weight: 9.9. To lose, I'm taking in slowly now 6lbs and after achieving it another 6lbs. In a long run:12lbs will be…

Hi Katy, wow, that's extremely impressive. I'm sure you are very proud of yourself. You sound very motivated as well. I think I'm losing my spirits at the moment. I know how hard exercising can be as well with our condition, but look at you, you've made it and managed to lose so much so far. I'd be over the moon to lose…
