Cwp with underactive thyroid

[aquarius83]

Hi has anyone or is anyone doing the cwp with an underactive thyroid, have started the ss plan 4 days ago and want and need some motivation. Having constantly battled with my weight since having my thyroid out and no diet working I'm hoping this will finally work. Let me know if there's anyone who has completed this diet and lost the weight

Yes, keep going. I have seen posts on here before about people being successful on CD while having an underactive thyroid. Keep positive and keep it up, you are through the worst.

I have an underactivethyroid - I been on this for 6 wks & lost 18 1/2lbs - like you I have struggled with my weight, the more I exercised & dieted with it, the fatter I was getting - but this is the 1st diet I have been successful on since diagnosed. It's defo slower losses than others on here - but better than on other diets.

I find that the coldness we already suffer from gets a lot worse - on the evening when I get tired & hungry'ish then I get freezing - my feet just do not warm up & I can only put it down to this - but worth the cold - I just wear socks to bed now lol. Good luck

Thx for the replies love hearing that this diet has worked. Finding the diet hard at times but reading these really help. Is it hard keeping the weight off. How long have you guys been doing it for.

Hey Hun what mess are u on!!! Thought its supposed to help ur weight....I'm on thyroxine x

im on 150mg of levothroxine, google them they have been known to make you gain weight, the only good thing about them is they give you energy ect. they do not help with weight. i stopped taking them 6 weeks ago now and my loses have been great. i tried the cambridge diet a few months ago while taking my meds and i was either not loosing or having 1lb loses a week!! so i did alot of research and realised these tablets actually make people crave fatty foods and can make you gain weight even if dieting and exercising, so im going to get to my target then start my meds and eat healthy and eat "what i want" only on a sunday or im going to be big unhappy me forever!! xx
