I Hypothyroidism as wll. (under active Thyroid - The thyroid controls your motabolism & growth) . I take medicine daily and over the past few yrs I have been gaining. Last yr I was determined to lose the weight - I started eating right and became obsessed with the gym. I was still the same weight and couldnt figure out why. I did some research and found out that people with under active thyroids have a harder time losing weight. not only do you need to eat less you have to work harder. It was so frustrating so I decided to see my specialist who gave me a perscription for Phen. I felt like thats not gonna help becasue i dont eat alot .... now that i look back I didnt eat alot I just ate all the wrong foods. I started out taking a whole pill then while taking a step class one day I felt like I was gonna faint my heart was poounding and that was scary. So I immediately stopped taking it and said i would just do it on my own. Well its a yr later and I still have been going to the gym maybe not eating the best but i diff gave up many of the bad habits. About a month ago I seen the pills in the draw which expire next month (April) so i said why waste my money why not give it a try. This time i only take half the pill, I may start taking half mid morning and the other half later in the afternoon. Last yr I was 160 (most weighed) over the past few months the scale has not moved from 157. 4 days after taking Phen it moved to 152 however the very next week it was 154/155 which it still says today. Bottom line its a struggle just keep at it - the weight took time to put on and will take time to get off. Continue to eat right & exercise. It does get frustrating but you will get there. my goal was 140 April 1st - I'll be lucky if I will see a steady 150.
