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

Hi SlimmerSu
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!

Good luck to you too hun.... We WILL make it, i just hope that the metabolism being slower doesn't drag it out too much....
I am doing a refeed early December for Xmas, and depending on how near goal i am i will be back on LT in the New Year.. I must admit, i am quite happy with my losses so far, but it does make me wonder how much more i would have lost if i didn't have this problem... But it is the only diet that gets results quick, and that's what i need... Positive thinking, that's what we need x x x
