For some reason I find carrying a container with a straw ( like my yeti) I tend to drink a lot more water. Don’t ask me why but it works for me. Before that I would really struggle with water intake

Your story was mine. Drs taking watch and wait. I sought doctor after doctor till someone helped. I tested my own blood work through life extension to monitor my numbers by my symptoms and took everything to various drs till I found both GP and holistic dr to help. bTw endows were useless. I am now on armour thyroid. Does…

Been there done that. Know how desperate and lost and out of control it can feel. I suggest getting a good therapist. Look into addiction counseling. Have some blood work done on your thyroid/hormones etc. (mine binge eating started when my thyroid started to fail in perimenopause) it was the opening of pandoras box. And…

I have hypothyroid & autoimmune hashimotos. Prior to being properly diagnosed and medicated my numbers would flux from normal to not normal all the while I felt awful along with not being able to lose weight. For me it is important to make sure my medication is working first and my numbers are at the optimal for my body.…

Good for you. I've listened to some of her book. As a recovering alcoholic with over 23 yrs and a food addict it's a great & the same concept of AA. Sustainable not sure but I relate to binge eating and when I eat flour & processed sugar I just can't stop just like I did with drugs/alcohol. Not everyone understands that…

I am a sugar addict. and as someone that hasn't had a drink in 24 years I know for me it is a real addiction. i binge eat the minute i put processed sugars and carbs (which are sugars). I have not binged in 4 weeks as a result of cutting refined sugars, flours, dairy and potato chips. These personally are my triggers. I…

I have hypothyroidism from hashimotos. And I know all about being up some days and down others. For me fatigue and mood swings are huge signs I am off and my numbers have shifted. I take naturethroid 3 grains. was on armour as well but prefer naturethroid. some people say they like natural opposed to synthetic and vise…

Thx you!

Thx you that helps.

Actually I am along with logging consistently and not eating my exercise calories back. I was looking for people's encouragement and personal experiences with stalled weight loss. I have a call into an old personal trainer for guidance and feedback. They know me better. Thx anyway

1200-1500 calories with exercise I would hope is a deficit. I can't go lower than that it isn't healthy.

I have hypo/hashimoto. I would make sure you are optimal first here. And given your age check your other hormones like progesterone as they work in relation with your thyroid. I have shown "normal" on my thyroid test but a good doctor will know that your t4 and t3 need to be good as well as a tsh around 1-2. Everyone is…

as a recovering alcoholic with 22 years of sobriety if you think you have a problem with alcohol ( and only you can answer this) I am going to suggest going to an AA meeting in your area as well as seeking counseling. first things first.....trust me....you don't have to feel this way and if you address the alcohol not only…

I am hashi's on armour thyroid. it's important to watch your t4 and free t4 levels as well not just ths. You may find that adding some t3 to your levo may help with you. Along with a Vitamin D supplementation which hashi/hypo people tend to be low on. I have lost weight when I eat well and exercise. But i also know that…
