I have been on hypo thyroid medication for the past 10 years also and like Kate cant seem to get the hormone levels normal though my thyroid is intact. Do yoga exercises for 1 hour and meditation for 45 min morning and 30 min. evening. Am more or less careful with diet. But problem of bloating is uncomfortable. Weight loss is sooooo little despite being disciplined.

Am going to follow your advice on bloating. But weight loss is such an uphill task.

Any advice to vegetarians?

Thanks

I had thyroid cancer 10 years ago. My entire thyroid was removed. Ten years later and the Dr. still can’t get my hormone levels normal. we alternate doeses and still it doesn’t work. I’m either off the chart one end or the other. I take synthroid, but there’s not a strenth that works for me. I am going crazy trying to lose weight. Is natural hormones better?

Thanks Maureen! Too many people get caught up with the weight loss aspect of being healthy and not looking at the whole picture.

I completely agree with your last statement that our goal should be to become healthier individuals rather than trying to become a certain size. I’d rather feel great on a daily basis than look like a model and feel like crap!
