Just chiming in....if you find out that you have a thyroid problem, getting on the right medication will make all the difference. But be aware it could take months to get to the right place. It took 6 months and two doctors to get my thyroid under control. It can be very discouraging but keep at it until something works. Nothing helped me lose weight before I was on meds...even LC. BUT now I'm on my new WOL...on the right meds...and losing weight...Good Luck!
