Hi Emma
It took me 2 years and 3 and a half months to lose all the weight, and I still can't believe how much I have lost.

I too suffer with an underactive thyroid, and very regular blood tests (every 6 weeks) has shown that it swings from being 'normal' to extremely underactive, my dr says I am the only one on his books where an increase of just 2 tablets a week (50mg) will affect someone so much so he finds it nigh on impossible to regulate me.
Anyway, the good news is that I did lost 3 stone with WW over a 15 month period (2009/2010) and have kept it off, so you can lose weight but I would say from what I have read it's definitely slower than if you had a normal thyroid function
So I am now at a 5 stone weight loss and am determined to lose the last 10LB or so
Well done ladies for battling on with extra health issues to deal with.

Hey there onedayatatime,
2 years and 3 months - seems like a long time - but considering I've been overweight for 20 years its a drop in the ocean! Well done
for enduring and keeping at it - you have inspired me today to think that I can continue and lose this weight that keeps holding me back in life. I am only on week 5 and already surprised at the focus I have which I am positive is to do with this website and being able to chat with all you lovely ladies every day - that and my chart and stickers of course!!Catch you later,

emmaholl said:Hey there, does anyone else have health issues that make losing weight difficult?
I have an under-active thyroid so my metabolic rate is virtually non-existent. I have only just started to lose weight and have done okay so far, but every week that I get on the scale and lose weight I am really surprised
But I am determined to keep going even if it takes me years to get to my healthy goal weight!
Would love to hear/share stories with you all, so we can motivate and keep each other going.
