2023.
I had blood tests and average of every 7 weeks, and had my medication adjusted at all but one of those appointments.
My TSH ranged from:

0.02- when I had thyrotoxicosis and had to be put onto beta blockers to force my heart rate down

To 17.25 when I was so sick I was struggling to function- for weeks I had been feeling like I couldn’t drive properly. I later read a study showing that people with severely increased TSH show similar driving skills to people driving under the influence of alcohol, and I can agree.


I had months when my Hashimoto’s symptoms felt almost debilitating, even though life needs to carry on.
I continued to eat correctly during the year even when for months my weight wouldn’t shift. When I was hyperthyroid I would drop weight and then I would go hypothyroid and gain it back again.
The medication to increase my thyroid causes unpleasant symptoms.

But we carry on. I am hopeful it is settling down now even though I’m on an unconventional combination of medication and dosages.

And would love to lose the last 4-6kgs.

Update from Dec 2018 to now, almost a 5 year journey.


I have decreased my weight by just under 25kgs.
My body fat % from 46 to around 33.
My waist from 98cm to 80cm

My cholesterol is down 19% (6.4 to 5.2)
Triglycerides perfect.
My blood sugar is normal (but it always was 😂)
Blood pressure also still fine.
Auto immune disease under control.

I haven’t counted calories or weighed my food for a year. As a result my weight loss might be slower, but I’m still losing weight and I’m eating in a way that feels normal and sustainable for life.

I eat high-fat, high protein, low carb, but high fibre.
I take Sally ann creed Skinny Fibre & psyllium husk daily (to add fibre and control cholesterol)

I eat a chocolate every week (CarbSmart, so erithytol sweetened)


Goals:
-lose another 4kgs or so, which should take me around another year.
-get cholesterol under 5
-get body fat % under 30


Life is good.
