Hi All
I too am always overweight.. I have been diagnosed hypothyroid for the past 2 years. Since Xmas I have lost nearly a stone ...but only because a had a challenge from my GP! He gave me a date in April when I had to have my blood glucose levels & thyroid tested. He said if I didn't lose weight by then I would probably become diabetic. (I am genetically linked) i.e my mother & grandmother had late onset stage 2.
This spurred me on so I got on my rowing machine ..did fast dog walking...& had a breakfast & only a ryvita & yohurt for lunch plus a small portion of whatever I made for the family tea>
So up to June I was doing very well. But because I was cutting down on my food intake I constantly felt tired & lethargic, my skin became dry & I had constipation a lot of the time.
In June I went on holiday. And began eating fish & chips , pasties, & ice cream AND doughnuts etc etc..(Yum bloody Yum! lol) Hence I have piled on almost all that weight again! And it only took me a week!
I have every sympathy with anyone with the same overweight problem... And the key phrase "I just can't do it!" springs to mind!!
