Hiya! I've just been accepted for 1 cycle of IVF and though I'm 7-8lb away from having a BMI of 29.9, I want to lose 28lb so I'm comfortably in the 'acceptable' zone. If you want someone to buddy up with then I'm here :)

hiya! I'm also coming up to 30 (next month) and have suffered with an underactive thyroid since I was 17. Feel free to add me - we can be buddies! xx

I'm 5'3 - currently 174lb and aiming for 135lb. I have an underactive thyroid (for over a decade) - but I've always been rubbish with taking my meds. So i'm getting back on it and taking them daily and religiously. Any other ladies in the same boat? Also - I eat 1000 calories a day. My reasoning - I have a slow metabolism…

1. I'm 30 in February and I want to look hot as hell for my birthday party. It's fantasy/sci-fi fancy dress and I want to go as Starbuck from BSG - gotta get pretty buff to look anywhere near as good as Katee Sackhoff. 2. Health. I suffer with PCOS and weight loss will help with the symptoms. 3. I'm off to NY a week after…

in What is your HONEST reason for losing weight?????? Comment by SammyHKSmith August 2012
Likewise! I'm on 150mcg and have been hypo for 10 years since I was 18. First 14lbs came off relatively quickly, the last 2lb have taken FOREVER. It is doable, but remember that your BMR will be lower than most, so weight loss will be slower xx
