I just want to lose weight!!

  • I know I can I was on track before I got pregnant with my son now I'm 9 months postpartum at 3 wks I was back to prepregnancy weight & thats when everything went down hill 

    Hyper to Hypo now on 25mcg of synthroid
    Low cortisol now on Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid
    I have "Tension" headaches so they rx me Amitriptyline a tricyclic antidepressant  I think the headaches are linked to my adrenalin insuff (low cortisol)

    sorry to vent I just feel like everything is against me but mind over matter I can beat this

    Cardio 3-4 days a wk
    2-3 classes a wk of BodyPump
    Eat more protein
    Be better on the weekends


    Thanks for listening errr reading 
  • Add PCOS & Endo too

    PITTY PARTY OVER 
  • cardio for how long? it matters
  • 45 minutes I've gone from buring 400 cals to 500+ in those 45
    It's not much but it's better than zero right 
  • I really need to bump that to 60mins....
  • hey, I'm pp, 12 months, and I am also on synthroid, although they bumped my dose up to 50, and I am on 5 mg cytomel, by choice. I suspect I have adrenal issues, but I take herbals to strengthen them, I still bf frequently. Like 4x during the day and 4x during the night.

    I am finding it INCREDIBLY hard to lose weight, and then I lost down to 180 and bounced right back up to 200, because I got alot of stress!

    Right now I am focusing on my inner health, and adding some zumba, yoga and strength training. I am also trying to get a handle on my calories again.

    My weight swings wildly. I can be 5 lbs up and then 5 lbs down each day.
  • Hi Jen! My pcos & ppt killed my supply  some was better than none, so I stuck it out for 3 months 

    I tested negative for Hashi's, just trying to figure this cortisol issue out
