    I'm 50mg but i think it should be more as i feel so tired etc.... but docs say its the right dose.

    Anyway i've only been back on LT for 2.5 weeks but i've lost 16lbs in the first 2 weeks.

    I have done LT before when i didn't have an underactive thyroid. I did seem to lose more then than i am now or when i tried the CD a few months ago.

    Most people with an underactive thyroid say their weight loss is good. I personally feel mine could be better esp as i have so much to lose.
    Start weight:

    Start weight - 15st 6.5lbs

    Week 1 & 2 ...17lbs
    Week 3 - 6 ... 13lbs
    Week 7 - 10 - 11.5lbs
    Week 11 & 12 - 5lbs
    Week 13 - 2.5lbs
    Week 14 - 4.5lbs - OMG must be all the walking im doing for my new job.

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

    Restarting CD 17/01/11

    No idea what my starting weight it, i didn't want my CDC to tell me.... although i think its above 16st

    Starting Exante 12/01/12

    Must do it this time, no more excuses, no more fall off the wagon, to more chocolate and rubbish!!!

    My family has a history of underactive thyroid & I had the test to see if it explained the weight gain (rather than the obvious explanation of loads of takeaway curries) - it came back negative... but often wondered if that was correct....

    Yep! I have an underactive thyroid. But I am on new medicine regime about 8 months and feel very well on it. I take 2 meds. 100mg eltroxin and 1/2 tablet of tertroxin twice a day(not sure what mcg it is). But prior to the new meds I was on 150mg eltroxin daily. I am more than pleased with my losses!
    Constant reoffender over the past 4yrs. I have lost and put back on the same 4 stone several times over the years.

    Back as of 21st May 2012.

    This time around I will only be weighing in to start and am going to try not to weigh again for 2 months or maybe longer...........why?...............

    If I have a good week I feel I "deserve a food reward" and if I have a bad week I feel "I should comfort eat"! So going to try and step away from the scales for a change and see can I just keep going till I feel happy with me.

    Hoping to keep myself occupied and motivated on here.

    Diet: Lipotrim

    Question

    Hi NPNG - how did you get on?

    I'm new here - just started posting because I am thinking of trying Lipotrim, but I've got an underactive thyroid and am really fed up with trying various diets and not getting anywhere. So I'm finding this thread interesting.

    Although I'm on levothyroxine (100mcg) I'm still getting hypothyroid symptoms (feeling soooo tired and low) and once again my levels have come back in the "normal" range. I'm debating whether or not I can muster the energy to speak to my doctor (AGAIN!) about my dosage... it obviously worked for Babyboosweets! But cos I feel crap I dunno if I can muster the energy for the battle, only to be told AGAIN that it can't possibly be my thyroid... levels are normal... must be something else...

    Anyway, enough whingeing...

    I'm (cautiously) encouraged by the kind of weight loss I have seen on this thread, so there may be hope for me shifting the stones yet! Only thing is, if I'm still getting symptoms, am I likely to lose weight, even with this miraculous-sounding Lipotrim??

    Hmmm...

    HIYA DUMPY.. HAVE A DOCS APP LATER ON THIS WK.. WILL LET U KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME IS.
    IM ON 50MG AT MOMENT... SYMPTOMS HAVE GOT BETTER BUT NOT COMPLETLEY GONE. DONT FEEL DIZZY OR NAUSIOUS ANYMORE, BUT STILL FEEL MEGA TIRED, LOW MOOD AND EXTREMLEY COLD. I KNOW U DO FEEL COLD ON THIS DIET, BUT FOR ME THE CASE IS WORSE.
    ANYWAY, HAVE LOST 7LBS IN WK 1... LETS SEE HOW WK 2 GOES.
    ACCORDING TO MY PHARMACIST THERE ARE LOADSA PEOPLE WITH THYROID DOIN LT AND LOOSIN MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT... SO I GUESS IT MUST BE WORKIN.
    WILL KEEP U POSTED REGARDING MY DOC APP.... IF THE OUTCOME DOESNT LOOK TOO POSITIVE THEN MIGHT TRY BABYBOO'S SUGGESTION
