All the weight loss pill commercials are frustrating to me.  Sometimes I think I would rather just take those and not try to eat so well and workout.  It seems so much easier.

I'm just depressed with my weight lately.  I wish my thyroid would function like a normal person and that my metabolism would get closer to normal again.  I should be losing weight, but it takes me so much longer than other people.

kaqphin - 2008-02-27 8:58 PM

And it just wouldnt be a challenge without yuo!

barqhead - 2008-02-27 8:58 PM x2. And I don't think restaurants should be allowed to advertise on tv after 6pm. Just makes me hungry.

barqhead - 2008-02-28 2:01 PM I'm sorry. I know how frustrating weight loss can be without a medical condition. I can't imagine the difficulty when you throw a dysfunctional thyroid into the mix. Nibbs love you no matter what your weight

Jen Im having a lot of problems loosing weight... and i try for a few weeks... then when there is no change I go on a bit of a junk binge... not good....

i found that ever since I got of the prednisolone (I was on hih doses for a really long time) none of the stuff I would normally do for weightloss seems to work!

Im so so sorry its so tough for you.... but if it comes of slowly its meant to be more likely to stay off right?

lastcall2003 - 2008-02-28 2:01 PM

no kidding!

I've been struggling lately too - somehow I thought the weight would just drop off when I started this living by myself and not having snacks around - but it's not

i finally started tracking again and I was apalled at how much I was still eating - ugh!

kaqphin - 2008-02-27 10:04 PM

And I hope this doesnt sound wrong Jen - but from the pics youve posted previously... you are very cute!

Kind of.  I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a year ago.  It's an autoimmune disease, so my thyroid gland is being destroyed slowly by antibodies.  So, it will keep getting worse until I'm basically relying only on synthetic hormones.  I get rechecked every 8 - 12 weeks and we adjust as needed.

When the hormones are closer to normal, it's easier to lose weight.  The problem is I'm not really close to normal and I haven't had a very good reading.  If the levels are high, I end up gaining some of the weight back.  I've lost about 10 pounds since December, but it took a long time and a lot of work.  I'm feeling run down and I think that might mean I need to increase dosage.  Just got a blood test Monday, so now I have to wait for results.  Should be some time next week.

I feel bad venting and dumping like this.  I'm just depressed this week.

LMAO - you should see the briefs from fast food palces... they ALL want to advertise between about 5pm-7pm to Mums with children, who are preferably in the room and will pester them to buy..

kaqphin - 2008-02-27 10:07 PM

Dump and vent all you like... I know I was there for most of 2006, and Im sure everyone else has been there one way or another...

Im sorry your hormone levels arent what they should be... I cant say I understand that.. but i know screwy hormones mess all sorts of things up so that doesnt sound good

 

I guess the positive is when you get the blood work back that they will be able to change somethings and get you 'closer to normal'? Have I got that right? The waiting for the results must be awful

barqhead - 2008-02-27 10:07 PM  Vent and dump away. We don't mind. Some weeks are like that. The rollercoaster of life, you know.

barqhead - 2008-02-27 9:12 PM Well, Nibbs, it's after ten here. I think my nice warm bed is calling me. Have a good one and talk to ya tomorrow. MWAH
