Just started at Slimming World too. I hope I am as successful as you. Lost half a stone so far in three weeks. You are proving that weight loss is still possible even with an underactive thyroid.

keep up the good work

Well done.....I don't care what anyone says, dieting and losing weight is b----y hard! I lost about 1.5 stones 18 months ago. Go up and down a bit but still over a stone less. Now dieting again and more exercise to lose my last stone. You have done extremely well, Keep up the good work.

PS Just on my soapbox for a minute. At first I am always hungry on a diet and get sick of people telling me I should not be......only eating 1200 calories.....of course you feel hungry! Yes, it does improve and my body gets used to it after a few weeks but it does wind me up when people tell me I should feel really full....I don't.

[mandy72 in reply to Hidden]

it is hard, its just down to making the right choices

ive had days when i just cant fill up so i tend to eat a tonne of fruit, large amounts of water veggies and pasta

my brother actually told my son (my consultant) last night that he is allways hungry

my sons reply was 'well eat then'

[Hidden in reply to mandy72]

Yes, I fill up eating loads of veg (which I love anyway).

I do get over feeling hungry, I suppose my stomach shrinks slightly?

[mandy72 in reply to Hidden]

im not a fan of veg but pile up on what i do like, im thinking of getting one of them spiral things and trying it out on courgettes and carrots

i do eat lots of chicken though, i swear one day ill start clucking and growing feathers but its cheap and fills you

Brilliant Mandy, congratulations! I gave up Slimming World when I was diagnosed with my thyroid problem. I just found my weight went up not down on Levo.

[mandy72 in reply to MariLiz]

i was diagnosed 3 years ago and im ashamed to say ive gained 7 stone

ive set a 3 stone target for now and ill keep setting low targets until im at a good weight

i gained with levo, ndt and t3

[MariLiz in reply to mandy72]

It seems mad that our weight just goes up so easily. I think I put on two stone within the first few months of being on Levo. I hadn't changed anything else in my eating habits or exercise, the weight just piled on. I'm probably another two stone up now, and it's so frustrating. My youngest son gets married this year, and I'd love to lose some weight before the wedding. Just so I can buy something nice to wear.
