Weighed myself today and hoping to lose at least 7 lb before Xmax, though put 3lb on since last Friday! Was diagnosed with overactive thyroid May but now think it’s going under and gaining weight rapidly so need to watch what I eat from now on! I’m hoping having somewhere I can chat to like minded people and get advice will help. 😀

It certainly sounds like something has changed. I know when I had an overactive thyroid I couldn't put weight on no matter how much I ate, I just continued losing. I think you should speak to your GP who may be able to work out what's happening. Perhaps your medication needs changed. Another possibility is, if you lost a lot before being diagnosed, , perhaps you are regaining some of that. Hope you get some answers. Good luck.🙂
