They don’t want us tracking calories as most Bariatric patients come from a disordered eating background and can fall into food restrictive cycle that psychologically could be harmful. It’s not uncommon for Bariatric patients to develop anorexia or bulimia to try and avoid gaining weight again. Alcoholism also is a known…

Yes it was exactly that. Also done at end of day when original scan was at beginning of day before I’d eaten.

I’m on 1400 calories/day give or take. So feel free to add.

Make sure you also get tested for iron, folate, vitamin D and Vitamin B12. These can also be depleted with Hashimotos and decrease effectiveness of weight loss. I’ve just gone gluten free in the New Year as a trial for 6 months as there was a pilot scientific study undertaken that showed positive outcomes for Hashimotos…

Thanks for the detailed, sensible Hashimotos description. I’ve had Hashimotos for 20 years. Recently TSH was way out (tired, losing hair, weight gain); but seems to be sorted now with medication increase. Just working on anemia and B12 deficiency now. I take iron tablets and vitamin B at night away from Thyroxine. I wake…

I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis (autoimmune) and am in the same boat. My TSH shot up to 11 on my last blood test (ideally should be between 1-2) so I’ve had my dosage increased which has brought it back down. I was on WW and started gaining weight and feeling crappy. I’ve also got anemia. Make sure you are also being tested…

The 6-8 weeks is to allow for changes in medication and allow them to take effect not for the gluten free diet (I don’t think I was clear about that). I’ve been on the same level of 100mcg of Thyroxine for 20 years but my doctor has recently asked me to double it only on weekends to 200mcg and go back for a check on TSH in…

I’m already diagnosed as Hashimotos Thyroiditis. I have had the autoimmune condition for 20 years but it’s gone haywire this year. Could be female hormone changes causing it. I’m getting a lot of secondary issues related to my Hashimotos. Weight gain; lethargy and head fog; depression; anaemia; VIT D deficiency and high…

I have Hashimotos autoimmune disease. Had it for 20 years and it’s gone a little haywire recently so I’ve had medication changes and have to go back in six weeks for more tests. I’m considering gluten free first the trying AIP ( but it’s so restrictive I’m not sure I could do it).

I'm in. Just getting back on track due to being sick for a frew weeks leading to gaining a few pounds back. I have a Cruise at the end of December so need to lose a few kg before then. I'm currently 97kg (213 pounds) and would like to be 92kg (202 pounds) by end of month when I go on Cruise. If I get beyond that, it will…

Add me too. I have 40kg (88 pounds) to lose. So happy for anyone to add me.

Great! I’ve added you as a friend.

I’m fairly new to using MFP. Been loitering for a while. I need friends too.

Ok. I’m currently 97kg (around 213 pounds). Earlier this year (May) I was 110kg (242 pounds). I’ve see-sawed around my current weight for months. I need to get to 58kg (127 pounds) for “healthy” weight for my height. I also have Hashimotos and am currently taking prednisone; both inhibit weight loss and promote weight…

Add me too. I’m 46. Trying to get into a rhythm again after being sick for a few weeks and stepping away from WW.

I have been trying to lose weight for months. I’ve dropped WW in favour of MFP so need some online support. I was doing ok but then have been quite sick over last couple of weeks with flu/bronchitis/asthma and can’t exercise yet for another week. Also taking prednisone which completely inhibits weight loss and actually can…

I’ve now changed my calories to 1350/ day on MFP. I don’t lose weight with anything over 1500. As I have Hashimotos thyroid disorder it’s quite difficult, even with the medication, to lose weight. In Australia we have now all the new WW plans. My weight loss stalled and kept hovering at the same point. I’ve changed to…

I moved interstate to look after an elderly parent from a large city to a drought affected small village in the country. I gained about 35 pounds in 15 months. I’ve been in this position before and was suffering depression and anxiety because I hated being trapped in a place I didn’t really want to live in. I decided to…

Hi I’m 46. No kids but I am a teachers well. Need to lose about 80pounds. Australian. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. I have about 81 pounds to lose so could do with some support as well.

Feel free to add me. I’m 46 and used to smoke. Kicked the habit a few years ago now. I have about 81 pounds to lose. Australian.

I need to lose and additional 35-40kg (78-88 pounds) to be in my healthy weight range for my height. So a long way off. I’m currently 95.3kg (210 pounds). I had a lap band in 2010 where I was only eating 600-800 calories a day due to restriction and lost max 40kg (88 pounds) but five years later and due to lap band failure…

Thanks for feedback on the foods in database. Currently I take two iron tablets in the evening since I was at the iron infusion low level stage. It’s been a chronic problem for me. I’m not a vegetarian or vegan and don’t have any digestive issues other than I have an autoimmune disease Hashimotos Thyroiditis. I will cut…

I’ve was 109kg (240 pounds) in May. Now 95.3kg (210 pounds), so approx 30 pounds loss so far. Doing WW but also now doing MFP to keep track of macronutrients and micronutrients as well as calories (I’m anemic so taking tablets). So far very helpful but I need to lose about another 35kg (78 pounds) as I’d like to be about…
