Hello

[Immortelle]

I've just signed up to HealthUnlocked. I need to lose 3 to 4 stones but I have an underactive thyroid for which I take thyroxine medication. My weight loss is very slow but I'll get there eventually, fingers crossed!

Morning Immortelle. This is a really good site and has been a game changer for me. I hope it does the same for you. The NHS 12 week plan is brilliant.

I also have an under active thyroid and yes for me the weight loss is slow, but any loss is better than gaining weight. I have found that the lifestyle changes mean that I feel loads better, much less tired, stronger, more flexible, less grumpy, sleeping better.etc.

Have a good day💁🏻

HI Gonti

I too have an underactive thyroid and take tablets for life...I struggle also when trying to diet because of this ...I have to work extra hard and exercise more...I have just started my diet on Monday 27 July and I have 5 st to lose so at least I have started my journey...hop on the bus and join me...

Me too with the under active thyroid and have 3 stone to lose. I only found this site on Monday and decided to have a go as I didn't like the sight I saw in the mirror. Good to see a post from a fellow thyroxine taker you have given me the incentive to carry on knowing it will be a slow process.

Good luck we can do it together 😀

Hi Immortelle,

I've recently joined as well. This site is so supportive and I hope it helps you as much as it's helping me! Lots of people mention the NHS 12 week plan, which I'm finding very useful myself. There's information about it on... nhs.uk/Livewell/weight-loss...

Good Luck!
