Weight

Well let's just say this.. I was pregnant when I was diagnosed so I gained a lot of weight after the surgery which put me in an unfair weight gaining bracket than most other thyroid cancer patients. I weighed 115 when I became pregnant and topped out at 176 the day I gave birth. I read that losing weight without a thyroid was very difficult but I don't care what they say :)

I have been working out every day of the week doing cardio for 15 minutes a day. I just do it in my living room, nothing fancy. I cut my calories to a bare minimum. I am on the Special K diet, it is easy and works. At first, I didn't lose weight as fast as I wanted to, but in the 6 weeks since I had the baby, I have lost 25 pounds. It wasn't easy, but you have to be determined. It is easy to be lazy and not work out. I just remind myself that my goal is to fit into a tankini by next summer (a bikini would be pushing it!). I will jog every day if I have to, I will lose it. Some people are not as ambitious to work out as I am, and will have a hard time losing weight. If you can't work out, you can at least diet. Really, no excuses~ Just do the best you can, stay committed and you will lose weight. Geez Louise, I did it, anyone can~ :)
