i have gained almost 100 pounds in the last couple of years because of my thyroid. the problem is that no matter what i do i can’t get the weight back off. i get depressed and forget to take my medication, and it just makes the problem worse! i have tried weight watchers, the carb diet, and even otc diet pills. i exercise at least 4 times a week, and my “normal” eating habits are really good. i had to increase my intake when i did the weight watchers diet. (normal is when i am taking my meds every day and am not depressed, probally 98% of the time)
please tell me what you have done, and no links to drop 30 pounds in 30 days.. that is unrealistic, and i want doable advice….
i am out of my medication right now, i have a dr’s appointment in the morning. i work night shift and regularly switch my sleeping from days to nights, so i never know when to take my meds, and i hate dr’s and don’t want to go back every 3 months.
it is very hard, when a “friend” of mine said, “hypothyroidism? more like cheeseburgerism” i just walked off and cried. i ride my stationary bike 5 miles a day and drink at least a gallon of water a day. i have a hard job and sweat ALOT so sometimes i will drink a powerade, or something similar. i think maybe going to a nutritionist maybe a great idea…. who knows what i am doing wrong.
thank you all for your answers..
