Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daphne917" data-source="post: 1064837" data-attributes="member: 124172"><p>[USER=45466]@Catsymoo[/USER] do you know how many calories you are eating and have you had your Thyroid levels checked?  I have always has weight issues and found it impossible to lose weight to the extent that if I didn't eat enough I would get ill as my metabolism would go into starvation mode and start shutting down my body. I was also told by a consultant that I was one of his few patients who could truly  blame their metabolism for their weight and that I would find it impossible to lose weight until my Thyroid decided what it was going to do ie under or over active. Fast forward approx 30 years and I finally started treatment for an under-active Thyroid 2 years ago, switched to a low carb ful fat diet and I have lost about 2.5 stone so far and, whilst my weight loss has slowed, I'm still losing about 1-2lb per month.</p></blockquote><p></p>
