I am having the same problem. I used to only eat one meal per day (dinner) very late and snack on junk during the day or eat nothing at all. Recently diagnosed with thyroid condition and given meds. Started this diet at 1250 calories a day and I constantly come in 300 or 400 short! I am not hungry so I don't eat. But it…

50 pounds is my goal as well. Starting weight 202. 5'6. Started almost 2 weeks ago and 8 pounds down! Decided to start when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Determined to lose the entire 50 pounds. Not sure if I will succeed by summer but I'm sure going to give it my best!

I had my thyroid sonogram today I'm awaiting resilults. I hadn't been to the Dr in a while either but I was feeling tired and sick all the time. I was surprised to have so many things going on at once, you are blessed,to have cought you problems early and before diabetes got you! Congrats on your weight loss. 50 pounds is…

Thanks I'll look that up. And I have had my daughter's thyroid checked and luckily she is ok. She has joined this site as well and she's doing great on her low calorie diet!

I was also just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes as well as hypothyroidism. I'm determined to not become insulin dependent! I just joined on Monday and i need to lose 50 pounds. I Wish you good luck.. We can kick diabetes @$$

Thank you I really wasn't sure when I needed to check my blood sugar so that is super helpful!

I love my carbs too. Especially when I can't have them! I'm a big fan of bread.. I just got the monitor today so that will take some getting used to I'm sure. Thanks for the advice!

That's an amazing drop. And only 25! I hope I can be that successful. I'm mostly disapointed in myself because I knew inevitably I would get diabetes if I continued the lifestyle I have. Both my parents have it. And now even my 16 year old daughter is pre-diabetic. But I am determined I will not end up insulin dependent…

That's what I thought as well. But after learning about my thyroid problem and browsing the internet for answers I saw the majority of people complaining of weight gain on levothyroxin with hypothyroidism. Also being unable to lose weight. I certainly hope I am not one of those people. I have enough problems without that!

Just started my diet/ lifestyle change on Monday. Needing to lose 50 pounds already down almost 5.. Feel free to add me. We need all the support we can get!!

Well I learned today that I also have hypothyroidism! Which I guess could explain my weight gain. Starting levothyroxin tomorrow which is notorious for causing weight gain and making it harder to lose. I hope this is not the case with me. Its a bit overwhelming trying to figure out how to handle diabetes and hypothyroidism…

Thanks for the advice! So far I'm doing really good I just hope it pays off!
