I am soooo frustrated! I am currently on treatment for hypothyroid (and I have been for 3 years), but I have never had much success with weight loss. Like many others, I have tried just about all of the available diet plans. Most recently, I did Atkins. I felt absolutely awful, and I didn't lose any weight. I don't struggle with portion control or making good choices, but I do struggle to regularly exercise. Even when sticking to that, however, I have not lost any weight. I refuse to accept that I might be obese for my entire life, but it's starting to look very grim. I recently switched from Armour throid to compounded T3 and I am gradually increasing my dosage. I am hoping that it might be possible to shed some weight when I have reached my optimal level of meds. I know that I am probably a metabolic mess, but I am open to any and all suggestions that might help me win this battle with my weight. I want to live long enough to see my grandchildren some day! It's hard to image that's possible as a morbidly obese woman. What more can I do? _______________________________________________________________ If you "Reply" to a message, and *you* fail to erase or delete the previous message, *your* message may not be distributed.
