i want to lose 30-40 pounds. i used to weigh 120 pounds i now weigh 160. 2 years ago i weighed 203. this stupid hypothyroid condition i have has made it nearly impossible to lose weight and very easy to gain. but for the past 2 years ive been going to the gym. When i was diagnosed at the age of 18, i wasnt given details of how important the thyroid gland was. all i knew was that i didnt want to have to remember to take a pill every morning for the rest of my life. the normal thyroid level is between .03-3.0. anything higher is considered hypo. anything lower is hyper. hyperthyroid does the opposite of what mine does. it makes it so you cant gain weight. hypo makes you gain and very hard to lose. among other health effects like hair falling out, extremely dry skin, depression, slowed heart rate. low blood pressure (very low).. it can also cut off signals from your brain to the body. make it harder to think, talk, act.. there’s so many things the thyroid does for our body and its really sad that not alot of people know what the thyroid is or does. to put it short.. if we were computers its the mother board. dont believe me.. do the research. a little advise though.. if you’re having a hard time losing weight.. or even gaining weight, i highly suggest you get that checked!

hello my name is jamie. i am 25 years old and i dont smile. i dont get out of the house unless it’s to work. i do go to the gym but after 2.5 years i havent lost much. that is because of my hypothyroid. i went from a stunning 120 pounds to 203 pounds in less than a year beacause of my condition. its taken me 4 years to lose 40 pounds. my teeth are extremely embarrassing! My baby teeth where perfectly straight and white. my adult teeth came in very crooked and are yellow. i dont smoke, drink alcohol or coffee, or do drugs, so i dont understand why they are yellow.ive been called names like can opener and snaggle tooth. when i was younger my paerents couldnt afford to take me to the dentist. ive only been to one once and that was when i was 16. ive got crows feet at the corners of my eyes, and my face isnt as pretty as it used to be. i have absolutely no self esteem what so ever. Ive also found myself unable to speak to or look people in the eyes when they talk to me. im very afraid of social situations now because of my appearance.i have no kids. i beleive i cant even have any. After my miscarraige at the age of 18 my life went more down hill than ever, due to my thyroid becoming less functional. im very tired of people laughing and snickering pointing fingers at me.i would really enjoy a make over. i want to feel pretty again. i want my boyfriend to look at me the way he used to when we first met. i wanna feel like im 25 and not 40. can you help please?
