Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 Sandie, I have to repeat what Darcy said! That was probably very hard for you to do. I think breaking the cycles in anything is very hard, but you were in a very difficult situation! Glad to hear things turned out ok!!! Colleen Re: New Member Oh Sandie, I am so sorry to hear that you had to grow up in an abusive home and then to have it happen again in your marriage. I'm proud of you for getting out right away and doing something about it. You are strong... Hugs to you... Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suffer from hypoglycemia and found out two weeks ago that my thyroid is becoming increasingly less active. The military still wont provide treatment though :-( I'm not sure what Hashimoto is, maybe you can enlighten me? One of the things that I have found helped me the most was weight lifting. I really needed that all day metabolism raiser. I haven't slimmed off the extra 15 yet, but it has stop climbing on. I'm also slowly working myself into the zone diet because of the insulin sensitivity. I've never been a bad eater, but I am far from saintly. I'm hoping that in addition to a meds reevaluation will help. I know HOW frustrating it can be. Hang in there. Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your body even if you don't end up looking like a Secret Model ( I hate them anyway) I cant remember when I started Taebo...it seems like forever ago. Whenever they first released the tapes. I'm so glad that I stayed with it and its wonderful to hear of others that haven't been on this group that stick with it too.

Welcome Cara (and welcome to all the other newcomers... there are too many to remember!!) I too suffer from Hashimoto's (an autoimmune disease of the thyroid which is the leading cause of hypothyroidism) and hypothyroidism. Lucky for me, I was able to shed my excess weight regardless of the condition. Unfortunately, I have heard zillions of stories of difficulty in losing weight for hypothyroids. By personal experience, I would like to lend you some advice that may aid you in your journey. 1) Be sure your weight loss goals are realistic: is 154 pounds in your healthy weight range? or are you in a comfortable dress size according to your height?. If you responded yes to one of these 2 questions, it may be that your body is trying to tell you that you have lost enough weight. If you have responded no, go to next point. 2) Be sure you have the adequate balance of food intake and exercise output. Eating too little can be as bad if not worse than not eating enough. Remember that with moderate or intense exercise, you have to increase your food intake slightly to compensate. There are online tools to help you determine what are your needs in energy (calories) vs your calorie expenditure. 3) Be sure you eat a minimum of refined products. Choose whole grains, vegetables, fruits, lean protein and dairy (if not lactose intolerant) as your main calorie consumption. This will also help you with your hypoglycemia. 4) If all of this fails, check with your physician that your levels of TSH, T4 and T3 are adequate. If they are not, have your thyroid meds reajusted. Janick who is down to 122 pounds (documented weight loss of 37 pounds since end of February) and who is having difficulty, believe it or not, in stopping weight loss (please don't hate me!)
