I am!

I am hyprothyroid and have always taken my meds in the am, with none of the symptoms you mentioned having. I felt really tired prior to taking right dosage, but none of the others. I would get it checked out.

Love my fitbit!!! I bought it in July and wear in all the time. It has made me make sure I get my steps in. Buying used is no problem. The device will sync with your account and your information. It easily syncs with all the apps I use.

will compression socks/sleeves help with swelling?

Feel free to add me!! I will be 38 in a couple of weeks..log daily, fitbit user..like competition!!!

In...have not been able to budge the scale for over a month!!!

I lost a few pounds in the beginning..then up a bit ...stayed the same and then started losing again. Some muscle gain and inches lost do not always show up on the scale as a loss. The more muscle you gain the more calories you will be burning..so even if you see a slight gain..it may be a good muscle gain. Just keep doing…

I have an iphone 4s..the heart rate monitor is great!!! I use the digifit app and off I go!!

Have you had your thyroid checked? I gained weight really fast over a year and it was due to thyroid. I know you said you are an emotional eater..but just throwing this out there.

I have hypo and began running 4 months ago and eating balanced healthy diet. I have lost 1-2 a week..slow and steady, but I have lost lost of inches and went down 3 sizes!! I think it has been harder to loose weight with hypo than it was prior, but possible. I think you just have to exercise a bit harder!!! I tried fast…

You are very brave in the transparency of your post. I applaud you for wanting to share your experience to help educate others and show how easy the cycle can begin. Praying for continuing success in your healthy journey!!!

That is a great achievement!!!

i will do it!!!

I can totally relate.... I started jogging about 4 months ago. I could not jog much at all. I started on a path and everyday I would set a target and everyday I made myself run farther than I did the last time. Doing the intervals work great. I tried to run short spurts as fast as I could and then just slow…

If you don't mind me asking..where and how did you get your metabolism tested. I have hypothyroidism and would love to know my exact numbers!!

LOL...from the South too...everyone "most" of the times says a quick hello!! If someone doesn't make eye contact I do not say anything, but feel strange to pass someone on a path and not greet...I feel a bit rude...lol!!!

Wow!! Great Job...

Love the fitbit!!! I go it a couple of months ago. I really did not know how active/inacitve I was. I wearing it all day everyday. If I see that I am not close to 10K steps, it makes me go exercise!!! I helps to keep me motivated and it is accurate.

Will do today!

Thanks for the great advice. I am doing way more cardio than strength. I do some strength training, but will add more! I got it measured on tanita scale. I realize the scales are not totally accurate, but wanted to make sure I am not doing something ongoing that will keep me going in that direction.

Most of the time, I am finding it really hard to reach 1200 healthy calories (I am eating healthy fats,veggies, protein and legumes). I am limiting bread, rice and pasta. I am insulin resistance and want to watch how many carbs I am eating. Sometimes at the end of the day, I may still have 300 calories and have eaten all…
