  • I love that under all this excess weight that I have a great figure. I also have great skin and hair and I love that I'm tall.
  • You look great and you are an inspiration to me.
  • Stephen Amell is sexy. I've never personally been told that I look like any celebrity.
  • I'm 5'10" and started 2 weeks ago at 240lbs.
  • I've always been tall (5'10") and on the heavier side of the scale. When I was a kid I got picked on all the time (looking back at photos I wasn't heavy at all). While in the military I weighed 185lbs but didn't look it because I worked out a lot. Now I'm at my heaviest at 240 and definitely look it. But I've never been…
  • I was diagnosed with Graves in 2008 at 42 years old. But in looking at older blood tests from 2005, I had Graves back then and I think I've had it even earlier than that due to radiation exposure while in the military from the mid-80s.

  • I've gone gluten free before although I don't like to. My husband and mother-in-law have celics so it's been pretty normal in my family for over 10 years to cook GF.

So I have the same problem. Not everyone with Graves will have this problem. It's kind of the same thing that Oprah Winfrey has. I'm currently 47…
  • So nice to meet you debbylee. I've been off meds for 1.5 years and have gone to kinesiology through natural supplements. I have actually tried an exercise regiment over the last 2 years but I continue to throw my back out. I was laid up for over 30 days last year. So now I've resorted to a recumbent bicycle which seems to…
  • I've been off meds for about 1.5 years now and my norm seems to be settling in at .1 I'm hyperthyroid but now I'm having a hard time losing weight. I went on a 1200 calorie a day diet for 3 months and only lost 8lbs. I should have lost around 20. So I'm working on jumpstarting my metabolism to achieve better weight loss…
  • I'm new to this website/app. I have Graves disease but have flipped to Hashimotos. I've gained so much weight now that I want to jumpstart my metabolism again without stirring up my Graves. Nice to meet everyone.
