HI there. I am a newbie to the world of diet. I had graves disease so my dr. did the radioactive iodine and killed off my thyroid almost two years ago. Since then I take my synthroid daily but also gain around 5 pounds a week. I was 140 when the procdure was done March 2005 and I am now 220.
I was asked by my lil cousin to be in her wedding in July and I am so embarrased by my size that I almost said no. The other bridesmaids are all tall and thin, Ive got the tall (I am 5'11) but they are all size 5 and size 7 twenty somthing year olds and I am the only 30year old size 16
I started the south beach diet on monday and have not cheated but it seems to make me even more tired then I was before. I also am doing yoga three days a week for a half hour (but my balance isnt so good lol and I am so tired and sore afterwards I have to take a nap) I have actually put on so much weight I dont even look like the same person anymore
Any suggestions would be awesome !!!!
I included a photo from May 2006 (swimsuit) and one from Jan 2008
Newbie here any advice would be great
You can do this!
