sounds like if you lose the weight the others will follow.

Plus I'm overweight, can't deny that. But that's a result of the other 4.

I've had or have every one of them.

The metabolic disorder causes most of the others. Can't lose weight if you're not processing food efficiently. Personally, I suspect the faulty thyroid is the cause of everything else. That's the first thing I got diagnosed with, and everything just went downhill from there. That's when I started gaining weight and having all these other issues.

Do you take synthroid?

I eat a good healthy diet and I don't overeat, never have. Don't eat junk food, never have. Well ... I ate cookies over the holiday but that's very unusual and I won't again until next year, lol.

Do you take synthroid?

Levothyroxine, I think that's the generic version. 0.75.

Does that mean it can go away when you lose weight?

It certainly helps.

Levothyroxine, I think that's the generic version. 0.75.

you ever read the side effects? I think it causes you to have a hard time losing weight.

I love to eat home cooked meals. Veggies are great and Ive lost my taste for chocolate for the most part. So Im eating better .

All related to a crappy diet. The diet of most Americans is terrible. We are very sick as a society, fast food, processed food, no exercise.
