started taking a thyroid med on July 21st (from my psychiatrist). The first two days I got full pretty fast. I thought this was going to work for me. Then I had knee surgery on the 24th. After a week, I found that I had lost 5 pounds (within a week!). But I was crediting that to using crutches (hard work!). After I stopped using them, I gained back the 5 pounds. I continued taking the thyroid meds, but had not lost any weight. I have 'slimmed' down to where I can notice, but my clothes are not getting baggier. I am pleased with that at least.
I've tried keeping my calorie intake to 1800. sometimes it's only 1100-1400. and sometimes (not often) I hit 1900-2200. But the point is, I still eat what I want. I just freak out about the calories. I'm making my husband crazy. He's lost 26 pounds! grrr
we got a new scale. now I can see my weight to the ounce. I don't like it.
I'm cool with losing a pound a month, but if that doesn't happen, as long as I can see a difference in how my body looks I'm happy. I wish I could exercise more, but I'm always tired. Chronic Fatigue, depression, anxiety, stressed, sleep problems, bi-polar, etc etc
My exercise regimen: I'm a dancer. I dance anywhere from 1-3 hrs a week.
There is a gym downstairs where I work. I try to go down at least twice a week and spend 15 min on abs, arms, and legs.
That's what I've done for years.
I was an average 128-130 pounds before menopause really set in (after 10 yrs). I got all the way up to 154. I now weigh 146.
every day is a struggle for me.
