hey ! I’m over here!!
Hi everyone, I’m back and ready to get back into losing weight and gettting fit! I needed a few weeks break to deal with a really stressful situation and now I’m ready to get back on track again.
I haven’t weighed myself yet, I’m going to weigh in on the weekend. I also want to get back onto the treadmill. It really helps me to sleep better and feel more in control somehow when I am exercising every day.
I have booked in to see a doctor who specialises in treating thyroid conditions. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroiditis last year after a very stressful year of caring for my mum who has Alzheimers. She is in a nursing home now.
Even though I have improved a bit on the medication and my pathology results show the right thyroid levels I still feel unwell a lot of the time. And I still only sleep 4-6 hours a night which leaves me feeling pretty crappy.
Anyway I found out about this dr on this website: Thyroid Disease Information and I am really looking forward to seeing her and getting myself checked out thoroughly. I know I have to reduce the stress levels and I am considering all my options regarding work. But I actually love my job and the nature of the work (counselling/ psych) is that it will be stressful.
So my life makeover begins again. I am so glad to be back here 
If there are any others out there with thyroid problems I’d love to hear from you.
Oh and I found out that Hot Rods are now Diamonds! So i’m looking forward to getting back into the team challenges.

Welcome back! I can imagine how difficult it must be to try to lose weight with a thyroid condition, but we only fail when we stop trying! I’m glad you’re back on track. We’re all here for you!

So sorry about your mom and the stressful times you have had
but so happy you are ready to start on your journey again, and even happier you came back to BuddySlim!!!
