I had a hysterectomy last March, and have had thyroid issues since I was 9. I actually find it easier now, however, since my hyst, I have also been diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance. Since starting the meds for that, the weight is coming off easier.

Hypothryoidism since I was 9....did well once I started meds at age 17. Quit smoking at age 24....became addicted to food instead. I'm sad, I eat. I'm happy, I eat. I'm bored, I eat. I'm trying to replace food with exercise though and it seems to be helping a lot.

I was having this EXACT same problem and went to the dr. Not only was the scale creeping up, but I had horrible acne, was waking up starving in the middle of the night, hungry even right after I would eat, and noticed that sores (mosquito bites, scratches, etc) just were not healing. I had already been diagnosed with PCOS…

OH! I also once got told that once I'm done losing the weight I'll have to tuck my skin in to my jeans unless I get surgery to remove it.

I have a great booty and pretty eyes :)

Use a straw!!!! For me it makes allllll the difference. :wink:

I've been hypothyroid since I was 9 and have always struggled with weight, fatigue, etc. Since having my last baby my ranges have been all over the board. I'm lucky to have found a doctor who will still treat me if I am symptomatic, regardless of my levels. That being said, when I first started the meds at 17 I lost about…

Um....WOW!!!!!

I'm doing week 7 day 2 tonight and I have felt like I hit the same barriers at times. The thing is, your speed doesn't matter right now when it comes to the 5k. All that matters is you cross the finish line. Don't let 1 day keep you from signing up. :)

Vigoss! You can get them at Maurices!!!! Love the way they fit my curves :)

My daughter asked me if I'd always been like "that". I asked what she meant and she started crying. She said her friends at school made a comment about her mommy being fat. That destroyed me. And today I've been told that I shouldn't be allowed to be a nurse because of my weight. Clearly, I'm not healthy, so I have no…
