DIONE'S REACHED GOAL!!!!!

Sweetie, you turn to us. Its easier to offload to minis friends I find. You get unbiased advice/opinion from all our fabby friends here.

If your thyroid is under-active you are going to feel like sh*t and once your meds have been upped and kicked in you will feel so much better. Underactive thyroid wont help with the weight situation either. Hang in there Dione. Just do what you have to do to get through this horrible period.

Is there any chance that you could get a babysitter and have a nice evening out with hubby so that you can talk? Maybe a night away somewhere to reconnect?

I do hope you feel better soon hon. Take care of yourself xxx

Thanks hun
Ive been on thyroid meds for nearly a year now and every time i have my blood tests they are constantly coming back as too low. This is the 4th time its been increased grrrr. He said it will probably be increasedmore but it has to be done gradually. You are right, it doesnt help with weight loss but then thats just my luck to get something that aids weight gain lol got to laugh really havent i

I could get a baby sitter but money is really tight at the moment so cant really book a night away. Weve also got our house up for sale so we can pay everything off and start again. Just one thing after another at the mo xxx

Dione, they do say that moving home is one of the most stressful times, after bereavement and divorce. So the stress, of bereavement and trying to move, for you must be off the richter scale. On top of the thyroid problems, which is making you lethargic amongst other things. No wonder you are struggling.

Hugs honey. xxx
 
I was thinking about quitting cd for a while and going ont oww or something until my healt gets better but then my friend just tagged me inon a photo from last weekend and i think i need to stay on it yuk!!!
 
ive just uploaded my latestpics, hopefully this will spur me on to carry on with cd
 
Heey hun u look lovely that blue looks stunning on you.!

we must keep going now, hope u get some rest over the weekend now x
 
Hey Hunny, I think you look pretty hot in your pics hun! Am iright in thinking you've already lost 13lbs since being back on CD? so you're back in the 10's? that's fantastic, i think you've doing brilliantly well and if you're finding this plan tough maybe move up a plan to give yourself a 'head' break, i'm moving up to 1000 today after 4 weeks on 810 and still have a few lbs to go but I know the 4 weeks would be enough for me so i'm listening to my head and sticking with my plan to move up. Please don't call yourself names huny, you are so pretty and you look gorgeous, it makes me sad. I know your struggling with other stuff right now hun maybe a higher plan would help you take it a bit easier with the diet stuff.
Sending you a big Sunday hug

Sending you big big :hug99:

I have an underactive thyroid too and my levels are NEVER stable :sigh: I don`t know about you, But when my levels are out I can be a bit of a screaming banshee :eek: so on top of the stress of money, moving etc and your husband will be feeling the stress of it all too, It`s easy to take it out on each other :(

How old are your children? Could you maybe get them to bed earlier and have a "date night" with a nice film to chill out and just spend some time together without having to spend too much money?

I hope you`re feeling better today Xxx

Thank you so much for your kind words hun, they mean a lot. Yes i lost 13lbs on cd and am back in the 10's. On thurday i weighed in at 10.9 but i know i am not that anymore as i was off plan this weekend. Will the illness i felt so weak and just needed food so i tried to stay as healthy as possible (except for saturday night's chinese oops) just to get me back to health. I have been thinking about the plans alot lately and even though i said i wouldnt move up until i was 10.7, i think i may go to 1000 and then up my excercise. Ive got so much on at the moment and feel i have lost my identity, i seriously dont know who i am at the moment. It sounds silly but even down to hair and dress style, i seem to have lost my mojo and need to get it back. Stuck in a bit of a rutt and i need to get out of it...god i sound like a right miserable cow lol. im not that bad really lol;)

Under active thyroids are a nightmare arent they hun, they drive me insane. I can fall asleep anywhere and am constantly feeling lethargic. What level of meds are you on? Ive just been raised to 100mg and my dr doesnt seem concerned about this at all (he is a really good dr but it confuses me) Every time i go and have my blood tests, they are constantly low so he has to raise them by 25mg each time

Thats exactly what we did on Saturday hun. My kids are 4 and 10. I explained to my 10 year old that he had to go to bed early as mummy and daddy need to have some time together as we dont get to see each other much. I let him watch a dvd in his room and he was so understanding about it (growing up very fast bless him) We ordered a chinese (naughty i know but hey ho) He told me that he understands how i want to lose weight but finds it hard to see me punish myself so much over it. He admitted we dont talk anymore and thet we are both taking each other forgranted and we both need to make sure we have some US time. He admitted his faults and i admitted mine. He did ask me to come off of cd for a while as he feels i become obsessed when i am on it, however he understood when i declined and promised him i will try my hardest not to be so obsessed (i know i am) He also booked me in for a body massage at teh local salon and brought me flowers. Bless him. We have a lot to work on but its going in the right direction xx

I hope you`re feeling better today Xxx

I am feeling better today, i just need to work out what it is i actually want and just take each day at a time. My brothers wedding is plying a big part of it as well. My bridesmaid dress is a size 10 and the last time i tried it on i felt great. I know its going to be too tight at the moment and even though the wedding is not until August and i should be looking at it as an incentive, i am beating myself up about looking good in it. I dont want my bro and sis in law looking back at the pics thinking OMG awful lol lol silly eh xx
 
Morning Dione, hope you are feeling better today honey.

Saturday night with your hubby sounds like you both got a lot off your chests and a chance to re-connect with each other, which is all good. Your little lad - aww. What a sweetie for understanding and being so grown-up.

I can understand his concerns about CD because it does make you exclude yourself from things. I dont know about you but I get too scared to socialise in case it scuppers the diet, it does become almost an obsession.

Perhaps 810 or 1000 would be better for you so that you can still lose weight and join in with him and the children a bit more?

I am sure, once you get your meds at the correct level, you will be feeling much better. More energised and less depressed. My mother had her Thyroid tested years ago and the Doctor said he was surprised she was still walking round alive as the results came back virtually at zero. He reckoned she must have been that way for 5 years or more as her levels were so low. That explained the weight gain, depression etc. Once her thyroxine was sorted she was a different person, only then to get diagnosed with terminal cancer, (not related) God bless her!!

Looking at your photos that you have just posted. You are a stunning lady - you dont see what everyone else sees, obviously. You look gorgeous in the pics. Start believing it, because its true. xxxxxx
 
You do look stunning in your photographs..... glad your talk with DH went well, things are definately looking up.... have a good week.
 
Thank you soo much guys, so sweet of you.

I have had a positive day today and feeling better about myself. I am on 810 at the moment but i am going to speak to cdc about going up to 1000. I know it slows down your weight loss but as long as the scales are going down each week then im fine with that xxxx

Hope you have all had a good day xxx
 
WI is tomorrow @ 7.30 am, gonna find the skimpiest outfit possible pmsl xxx wish me luck xx
 
Thank you hun xxxx
 
Hi ladies,

810 is a good one Katy still good losses as well. I am sure you will do great on this

Well done for staying on track Ibiza keep going hun

Well i lost 1lb this week which i am happy with as i thought i was going to gain due to illness and the weekend. I am staying away from escercise this week as i want to recover properly.

I had a really good chat with cdc and i have gone up to 1000 plan. I was really succesful on this last time and got into the habit of eating healthy food and measuring. It does take a lot of planning but i know i can do it

How has your day been? xx
