[mandy72 in reply to alangardner]

thanks Alan, i was hoping for the 3lb as i stuck to plan 100% but i ate late yesterday so i think that showed on the scales but still happy

im allso very undermedicated at the moment too but still had a loss

i wouldnt even know where to start with a sponsership but its a good idea if others were up to it

[alangardner in reply to mandy72]

ive just consulted with Mr vere and he suggested to me to sponsor you for an ali-can per ounce --- a think it was tongue in cheek ......I think I may be a little bit ahead of you at the moment though.....--- but I would still be up for it if it can get going ..... hope this gives you a little giggle girl ......alan xxx

Go girl go! It's a hard slog but worth it. I'm about 60 weeks into mine and nearly 3 stone off! I sometimes want to cry when people lose 3 or 4 pounds in a week but hey ho. Soldier on!

[Maryh1 in reply to Jayneywales]

How are you doing it?

[mandy72 in reply to Jayneywales]

3 stone is GREAT i cant wait to reach that, slowly is the way, i have had better losses than some people there (my best loss was when i was over medicated due to brain fog, i started a T3/T4 combo and increased my T3 as well as adding T4, i was so happy with the loss 4lb but OMG did i feel ill)

keep going we can and will reach our targets

[Jayneywales in reply to mandy72]

Absolutely! Keep going!

[Maryh1]

How are you doing it?

[mandy72 in reply to Maryh1]

slimming world

the only diet that has worked for me and many others suffering with horrid thyroids

[Jayneywales in reply to mandy72]

And me! No wonder you can get it on prescription now!

[mandy72 in reply to Jayneywales]

slimming world is on presription?

[Jayneywales in reply to mandy72]

Yup. Under the government/NHS One You programme Drs can prescribe a 12 week countdown. Not that I've met anyone who has been treated this way but it is happening for people who are in danger to their health. It's also being recommended by all sorts of NHS consultants as the way to shift the weight.

[mandy72 in reply to Jayneywales]

my drs have been blaming my weight for a long time, even before i was diagnosed hypo, my first endo suggested a gastric by pass, was given orlistat but never ever have they mentioned slimming world, i only started because my son became a consultant and kept on at me to give it a go, i told him id never lose weight but once it started coming off i decided to stick at it......id never go to another group though

[alangardner in reply to mandy72]

in my view the doctors tend to blame all things medical that they cannot resole on the easiest option that doesn't aplly to THEM i.e. weight ,lifestyle ,diet et. etc. etc. because it takes away their responsibility for not knowing what the hell is actually wrong and to treat it correctly --- the different treatments for thyroid issues from various medics prove this I think .....alan xx

[Jayneywales in reply to Maryh1]

Slimming World but I find that too much carbs don't agree with me so eat lots of protein, fruit and veg. And still have wine at the weekends. Works for me!

Yet another ⭐️ For you. Keep going! 💐

Tell us about the healthy diet you are on, to lose the weight. How are you addressing your autoimmune/immune system disfunction? Surely, you are adding lots of healthy fat and healing your gut?

[mandy72 in reply to faith63]

why dont you look up slimming world if your interested

i post these weekly updates for people who are interested and support me not to give people who are against it a run down on what i eat

i got sick of the post last week and i certainly am not going to put up with it on my weeekly updates

if you cant show support then please dont post

i am FAT and SUGAR free

i lived on fat and sugar for over 40 years and i cant see what good it did for me

[alangardner in reply to mandy72]

good for you girl , I for one have and will continue to try to support you all the way even if only to put a smile on your face or a giggle on your lips with encouragement for what you are doing for YOURSELF .....alan xx

[faith63 in reply to mandy72]

I am just shocked by the differing views of slimming world, as compared to the losing weight, by improving your health..healing your immune system and gut, lowering inflammation, which keeps us fat with autoimmune disease..eating organic, avoiding processed food and sugar, but eating healthy fats. Abvoiding Grains..it was the sugar and chemicals, not the fat, that make us fat...unless it is unhealthy fats..

Some people will continue to believe what we were taught for the past 30 years..low fat, low carb, low sugar..eat margarine, not butter etc..so good luck to you on whatever way you choose to handle your health situation.

I lost 20 lbs, without trying, without counting calories, without exercise..while eating lots of fat and eating organic..you could be able to get off thyroid meds as well..

[mandy72]

thank you Alan
