  • I wish I knew the answer to this, too... About two and a half years ago, I had my thyroid levels checked, and they were low-ish (enough to put me on meds). I had nearly every one of the symptoms you listed - AND I gained about 40lbs in 3 months. I (stupidly) stopped taking the meds after about 6 months due to a very…

  • It happened this week, right around 15lbs lost. My boyfriend and co-workers began to point out where/that they saw me losing weight, and one of my friends at work even remarked "you know, it's a b*tchy thing to do, coming to work losin' weight." :D :D I can't visibly see any diference in myself when I look in the mirror,…

  • Thanks for the responses, everyone. I've done a little 'net research. (Yeah, I know -- no self-diagnosing...BUT) I've found something called "vasovagal syncope". It actually corresponds to years and years of this kind of thing happening when I got hot, so I'll also mention this to my doctor. If this is indeed what my…

  • I struggle with this, too... Especially when my boyfriend isn't really eating healthy, and I am.
