Hi all...............I am in my early 50's and lead a very active life . I have an underactive thyroid and have received treatment of over10 years in creasing from 50 t0 100 mg tabs .

Since reaching 50 I have put on 10lb on the middle are of my body. which if I eat do not eat or have carbs / no carbs I will lose or gain 2/3 lb . I look like I am 3 months pregnant some days I feel quite down about this.

But am positive............... Today weight is 11st 9lb target just under 11st
