Yes, exactly that. It just makes me quite cross, tbh. People, grrrrr!

Being older (late 40s) and having 100+ pounds to lose, I was really worried about ending up with curtains of loose skin but it didn't happen yet (I'm 105 down with about 30lbs to my final goal). I also expected my boobs to disappear (because that was always the first thing to go in the past) but although I'm smaller all…

What CSARdiver says about minimising fluctuations makes a lot of sense. I've been on thyroxine about 5-6 years too, and have lost quite a bit of weight this year (97lbs as of today!). Logging EVERY calorie and sticking to the limit has worked but the more I exercise the quicker it comes off. I had cancer in my knee last…

Same here. I've been at plateau for nearly 3 weeks - it's so frustrating! It must be more so for you being so close to your final goal. Like @EdieEd says, it's recommended to increase a little and then switch back. I'm going to try that. Fingers crossed :)

I used to be a real product junkie, especially for skin care. Honestly, the cheaper stuff works just as well as the super expensive in my experience. Boots No.7 is my preferred range at the moment (I'm in my late 40s, no wrinkles but skin's a bit sensitive/prone to occasional breakout). Even though it sounds like a real…

Very interested to see everyone recommending vit B - I must try that. Like most people with thyroid issues my weight went up before I was diagnosed, and this year's the first time I've really tried to lose weight since taking levothyroxine. Doing any exercise was very hard at first because I'd got so used to being tired…

I've been veggie for 20+ years and was vegan for a few years but reverted back to dairy because, whilst cooking for myself at home was no problem, eating out or at friend's was difficult/limiting. I guess it depends if you live in a major city that has plenty of vegan-friendly eateries and how obliging your friends are.…

I've been vegetarian for 20+ years (I don't like meat or fish). A person can eat unhealthily whether or not they eat meat. Even when I was a vegan I ate plenty of curry and chips (fries), and drank plenty of beer - hardly the super-healthy stereotype :) Now that I'm trying to eat better, I sometimes wish I could stomach…

Thanks, I'm hopeful that losing weight will reduce the need for BP meds, in particular. Fingers crossed!

Thanks everyone, you're right I should get it checked out. Good idea about asking the pharmacist, I hadn't thought of that :)
