Cheryl.......
Is your medication for your thyroid sorted? I am only asking because i also have an underactive thyroid and they are taking forever to get my thyroxine tablets right... I have been on between 100 mcg and 200 mcg and they can't seem to sort it... I am at present on 175 mcg daily....
If yours is sorted, does it make a great difference?. I was hoping to go slightly into overactive (only for a short time) to see if it boosted my weight loss, but evidently not!! lol
Oooo, another thyroid lady
I'm on 125mg at the moment, put up the last time I had the blood test begining of this year from 100mcg and heck I felt better after that! I am due for my next blood test again shortly and am hoping they put it up again as I have started feeling tired easily again.
Doc's haven't been very helpful with me on the thyroid issue, when I ask questions they sort of hurry me off thrusting prescriptions in my hand. I have found out more from Googling...sadly.
I would have thought 175mcg is quite high but if you feel OK that's the main thing. As for losing weight, I think its always going to be difficult with a metabolism that's slower. Oprah Winfrey has the same problem (reading her blog) so I guess we just have to aim for as healthy as possible. I certainly can't do this diet forever so I guess its eventually finding the middle ground.
I'll see you when we get there, if we ever get there chuck... Good luck!
