Avatar f tn I do consider my thyroid treatment a success, although my recovery is not dramatic at all. It's taken me a couple of years, and a doctor, who like Stella, I thought was going to kill me; but THANKS to Stella -- I was able to put a stop to it and get the tests I really needed. I'm currently doing much better with the thyroid issue, but getting one thing under control brought up other issues.............symptoms that *I* thought were thyroid related, I'm now finding are NOT.
Avatar f tn Does anyone have any success stories about losing weight after being put on Synthroid? I would like to hear some encouraging words. I have gained 50 pds. and are miserable. I have not been on meds long enough to tell any difference in energy or hunger, but I am hopeing there will be some difference in the future.
Avatar f tn First of all let me just say, that the majority of people on this forum are not the success stories. We are often the ones who have had many issues regarding our thyroids and either can not tolerate the medication, or have other issues. You certainly won't see the people who are doing well on here. It's only the ones who need to feel supported who come on here. For example, I had a Partial in May 2007. My sister in law had a total thryoidectomy, also in May 2007.
Avatar f tn s not proper weight loss with hyper thyroid because of the muscle loss and that needs to go back in. I too wish there were more positive stories - I have grown very sceptical of endless people saying they've gained 4 or 4 stone. I am back to my pre-op positive attitude that now I'm not too ill to exercise, I'm going to make 'the most of it and not sit around doing nothing and making excuses.
Avatar f tn I am very new to this type of thing, but I do find that reading pregnancy success stories from other women who have PCOS, really helps me to cope with the fact that I have fertility issues. I am on my second round of 50mg of clomid and Im also taking Metformin. Are there any women who have successfuly conceived on Clomid and how many rounds did it take?
Avatar f tn Hi all, I am severely depressed & have been taking Prozac for a month now & my doc suggested Abilify to add. I had already put on 30lbs from lexapro, which is part of becoming depressed again. I have been on the Abilify for 6days now & can tell it is having a positive impact on me. I have had enough motivation to work out the past two days & I am really watching what I'm eating. Has anyone here had success with losing weight on Abilify & prozac?
Avatar n tn s with success and LA Weight Loss with very little success, and countless other plans. Low calorie and portion control is the only way for me.
Avatar n tn I haven't had a TT, but I do have Hashimoto's/hypothyroidism, which causes considerable issues with my weight. I, personally, think the HCG diet is too drastic and not healthy, plus some studies have shown that the HCG really does nothing to help you lose weight; it's the drastic reduction in calories (starvation) that does it. One of the biggest issues with diets of this kind is that people rarely keep the weight off once they go off the diet.
Avatar n tn html There are many success stories of people losing weight on topamax. If you read the side effects, weight loss is one of them. It helps suppress the desire to eat even smoking which I have quit too. I have had all blood tests ran on me. I've been going to my doctor for 10 years. I like how you just jump to conclusions without doing any research. For anyone else who has any experience using this please write.

393685 tn?1425812522 Good job Stella! I too struggled with weight and its finally coming off! Lost 23 lbs since November on Weight Watchers Diet :). Didnt believe it would ever come off was trying so hard on my own and going to the gym- And nothing! No weight loss or weight! My friend who also has thyroid problems lost 20 lbs since November. I'm so excited because people are really noticing! Yeah!
393685 tn?1425812522 There has been new information released recently on the use of particular weight loss drugs and the use of Levothyroxine together. The specific weight loss medication is Alli ( which is the brand name for the medication Rx Orlistat) Orlistat is a drug that promotes fat-blocking - taken with meals to help block some of the fat -- and therefore fewer intake of calories -- from meals, and aids in some weight loss.
Avatar f tn When I say unable to lose weight trust me I hired a personal trainer and worked out 5-6 days a week as well as kept a weekly diary following popular weight loss programs like The Fat Smash Diet and Weight Watchers...I was told I must be doing something wrong when I know that I wasnt. I just saw another endo the other day who told me that it is a "great mystery" why people with goiters have a hard time losing weight. He also recommended a diabetic diet.
Avatar m tn Anything positive that has happened since you quit, please share with us. I love reading the success stories, even those that are just starting out with a day or 2 clean and excited about what sobriety has to offer is success. Addiction comes with so much pain, but when we fight for what we want and stay clean, we begin to heal and life changes. Life becomes worth living again. How has live improved for you, since you made the decision to get clean?
