about a year ago i was diagnosed with graves disease, which is a thyroid disease, and i was treated for it about 6 months ago by having my thyroid killed off with a radioactive iodine pill, and now i’ve been taking thyroid hormone replacement medication for about 6 months now. i was wondering what kind of effect thyroid diseases have on your weight. in about 2 years, i’ve gained 20 lbs (my lifestyle and diet have changed slightly, but not much), and i’ve been dieting and exersicing for 5 months now, but have only managed to lose 10 lbs. i lost that 10 lbs in the first 3 months, and since then, i havent lost any weight. i was wondering if this was due in part to my thyroid disease. please let me know what you think!!! i need some advice about trying to loose weight while still having a thyroid (metabolism) disease.
sorry inspiredbeme, but i have been dieting and exersizing for 4 months now, and i have only lost 3 lbs. i was 118 two years ago, and now i’m 140. i have been changing my diet and i exersize 1 hour a day, and i still havent seen any results. i just want to know if it’s because of my thyroid that i’m having such a hard time. and you’re only 118! what do you have to worry about?!
*oops, sorry, 113!
