Is it possible to lose weight without a thyroid?
I had growths on my thyroid and had to have it removed and it took a year to get to a proper level of synthroid. I've read up on how your metabolism works and it seems no matter what I do, exercising to the best of my ability, avoiding certain carbs and sugar. My weight is stuck at 250 - 258. Each scale I get on says something different. My endo is the one I go by now. My primary, whom I see for my monthly check ups, always has me at a higher weight, no matter what I do or wear.
I've decided to go back to the beginning and see what happens. Eat like my DS is new and avoid all the things that have snuck 'back' into my diet.
I have Sjögren's Syndrome, which causes chronic pain for me, so I take meds for that and then there are meds for my other illness, which causes weight gain. Basically, it comes down to what I put in my mouth.
When food made me nauseous for three months I lost 10lbs. I've decided to up the protein, which is good btw and have a salad (the salad will have tuna with mayo for fat) and soup for lunch and a protein for dinner. Breakfast is the hardest, so I'll do a shake.
I'll switch it up with different varieties, but I want to keep it simple. My blood work is good. I keep up with my vitamins, now just to commit to my meals.
I have a conference coming up and I'm gonna have to watch myself.
As far as exercise, I can walk and do aquacise and free weights. I lack in motivation, I admit that. But I'll do what I can.
Wish me luck.

yes,it is possible. I lost 122 lbs and have maintained the loss for seven years, with no exercise.
it really is all about what you put in your mouth.
