Rose, how are you doing?
I weighed in at 14st 13lbs again today, the same as last week.
I started my diet again today. OH and I agreed my 'job' for the next 4 weeks is losing weight.
I would like to lose half a stone by the end of June.
STS isn't a bad thing hunni... You can do the diet thing lovely. Just don't be too harsh on yourself.
Rose take it easy. I've been 14st 7 since before Christmas and can't seem to loose any more. I can't understand it. Unless I go back to aqua aerobics, that's the only thing that has changed.
I've put on (at the last count, I've lost the nerve to weigh myself again) 3/4 stone since my thyroxine levels took a nose dive. It's really upsetting, even though I know it's not my fault, none of my clothes fit properly and I just feel awful.

Why do you gain weight, is it because you feel more hungry, or because you retain more?
Day 2 of my diet and I am hungry constantly. All I can do is keep myself distracted from the hunger pains.
I am eating normally, but my medication makes me want to eat and eat, I never feel full.
Underactive thyroid slows the metabolism right down, almost to a standstill. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Thyroid.../Symptoms.aspx It's like your body shuts down, and you're wading through sludge. And because I actually had my thyroid nuked several years ago, I have no thyroid function - it's all reliant on my medication controlling it. Which it's not. The dose has been upped but it can take a while to recover
That sounds horrible Paula. At least you know why you are gaining weight, but its not much consolation I bet.
I am literally craving chocolate so bad right now I don't know what to do with myself. I am counting down the minutes until each meal.
Today I've had for breakfast a bowl of cereal, for lunch roast chicken with two roast potatoes and two yorkshire puddings and loads of veg, and for dinner a chicken/brie sandwich with grapes for after. About 1,100 calories so far, maybe more. I have hunger pains.
Hunger pains aren't good hunni....
But what can I do Suzi? To make them stop I have to over-eat. I'd rather have the pains than go blind from IIH. Its all for the greater good.
