At my WICKS end!!!
« on: January 29, 2015, 11:42:04 AM »
Hi all, I got my email reminding me to check back in. I've been so very frustrated with my progress!!! I have hypothyroidism and the weight seems to want to stick like Gorilla Glue. My doctor said having this condition makes losing weight very hard. This news is so discouraging. I have so much weight to lose and at this rate it seems I'll need ETERNITY to get it off. I am on thyroid med, I pray my thyroid levels will increase   >:(

Hello, pask94  :)

I posted this comment on the other posting you made about your thyroid problem.
But I'll repeat it here for any that did not see that comment.

.............................

You are not the first FTS family member with thyroid issues getting in the way.
My wife's thyroid was so off-balance that she would actually gain weight eating our way! :o
But when her doctor got her med dosage right, the pounds fell off.

So the key is getting your thyroid medication adjusted correctly.
This often requires trial and error dosage changes from your doctor.
But when it's right, you'll be the first to know.

From what you say, I get the impression your doctor isn't being very aggressive finding that dosage.
Losing weight will be harder UNTIL your doctor works hard enough to fix your imbalance.
And if he/she seems to have a problem doing that, you should be referred to an endocrinologist that has a lot of experience with thyroid issues.

Keep us updated on your situation.
And know that I will pray along with you that your med gets correctly adjusted soon.

Tony

I agree Tony, maybe it's time for a second opinion from another doc????????

Thanks Tony, I will keep your encouragement in mind. So happy to hear that your wife was able to get her thyroid regulated and has loss weight. It gives me hope that once I'm regulated, I will as well ;)
