Thank GOD!! The plateau is finally broken!!!

Phew!!! After four excruciating months, the plateau is over!! Let me explain... I'm a Non-Op. I gained a huge amount of weight in my early 20s due to the sudden onset of thyroid resistance and later, insulin resistance. Since the problem with my thyroid is resistance, and not low thyroid count, the condition went completely unnoticed and untreated for three years. About a year & a half ago I finally found a doctor that caught on to what was going on and started me on medications for the two conditions and finally, with diet, exercise, and the right medication, I began to lose weight. I hit a four-month plateau where NOTHING I did worked. I tried changing up my exercise, changing up my diet, eating less, eating more, everything I could think of, and I couldn't "trick" my body out of the plateau. A couple of weeks ago I got some lab work done and lo and behold! My thyroid was low! I talked to my doc, we adjusted my meds and once again I got back on my regular diet & exercise plan (I was still experimenting with variations in the hopes of "stumbling" onto a plateau buster). I'm ecstatic to say that since then, I have lost 7 lbs.!!! I'm back on the loser's bench! 33 lbs. to go until I join the century club!

Congratulations! Keep up the outstanding progress!
