The medication for Grave’s disease blocks your thyroid function... I’ve gained nearly 20 pounds since August and have tried everything I know (and I know quite a bit as I am a 21 year personal trainer and yoga instructor vet). It’s been the most frustrating battle of my life.
I am grateful to be healthier now, but as a former figure competitor and now....former thin girl, the 20lb gain has really hurt my self esteem. I must prove to myself and the world that you CAN lose weight while treating your thyroid issues. If not, I'm getting a new Dr! ;)
