Why no weight loss - - Thyroid Problem suspected
Last few weeks I've been having lots of signs that my thyroid is underactive. Today I woke up extremely fatigued, dizzy, cold...etc.. so I decided to get myself to the doctors who after examining me and asking me a lot of questions is suspicious that I am suffering from hypothyroidism.
I have to take blood and urine tests this week but I will admit that despite being kinda relieved that I don't have a brain tumor (I hope) or anything fatal like that.....I am now very disapointed that my weight loss will now be even more of a challenge than the first 7 months that I was on Atkins.
I will say that this explains a lot...my losing at a snails pace....and nothing really working.
My question is what is the right formula to succeed in LC while suffering from Hypothyroidism? Is it even possible for me to every succeed in reaching goal if I have this major obstacle? I really would like to hear from those who have this condition and have been successful in losing - - thanks.
