Tough question due to your condition. In my opinion i would refer you to Todd Ganci see the link below. I met him a month ago and he is legitament with lots of knowledge. Perhaps he would be your best soarce of advice.

I know a few people with thyroid problems and it does require you to take a drug called "synthroid" for the rest of your life. It really isn't a big deal at all, hopefully you have an over-active thyroid in which case you won't have to worry about the side effect of weight gain as you do with an under active one. Your primary care doctor should be able to feel if your thyroid is enlarged at the base of your neck, he may or may not refer you to a specialist, depends on your doctor, some primary care doctors can treat the condition. It's really nothing life threatening and shouldn't really effect much except possible weight gain or loss, being very tired all the time and other minor problems. Good luck and call your doctor, again, it's not much to worry about :)

The Shapeworks Total Control product works Great. It boosts your energy, and controls your cravings. I used it as part of my weight loss preogram and had no problems. \n\nI managed to lose 30- pounds in just under two months and have kept it off for two years now.

I'm on NV now. No crazy side effects and still losing weight. About 4 pounds a week with no excercise!!! I tried Jenny Craig a while ago too but i didnt have the time to eat 5 or 6 meals a day so it really didnt work out.

I tried to lose weight for a while, and no amount of cardio got off the last 30 or so pounds.  I was introduced to a cleansing and nutritional system by my mom, who lost something like 40 pounds in a few months.  Anyway, I got on this cleansing system, which cleans out toxins and impurities in your body and i lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks, energy is super high, and just felt awesome. It's been over a year now, and I've kept it off with this system and feel great every day.  If you're looking at a great way to safely and quickly take off fat and get healthy, you should give this a good look.  I'd be glad to share it with you, send me a message. Good luck!

I have spent tons of money trying to lose weight and keep it off with diets from: Weight Watchers, Medical Weight Loss Clinic, South Beach, to the Grapefruit diet and Rice diet!  Many of them worked, only for me to gain the weight back plus more.\n\nHowever, I have lost over 155 pounds, gone from a tight size 28 to a size 6/8, and kept the weight off for 3-1/2 years, with Herbalife.  Herbalife has 1,500 calories worth of good nutrition in only 90 calories plus you get a free personal weight loss coach that teaches you all-around good nutrional choices.\n\nI actually saved money on my grocery bill with Herbalife, and it is not just shakes.  I have many recipes for other things you can make with it!

Every body is different and one diet that works for someone else may not work for you.  Check out eDiets.com and you will be able to get a sense of what kind of program will work for you; depending upon where your weight is distributed is a key to the kind of diet that will ensure success for you.  Of course, make sure there is no medical condition (such as thyroid or a problem with the pituitary gland) that will prevent you from losing weight no matter how much you starve yourself.   Pregnancy can oft times send hormones out of whack making weight-loss difficult, so I would definitely urge you to have your doctor check out your thyroid.\n\nTo the person who is telling his family that eating a ton and being overweight is OK, you are severely hurting your family, and how are you going to feel knowing that you were a cause of their physical, emotional, and social ill health (even death)?  It is all well and good to be accepting of who you are, but to encourage a situation known to cause severe health problems is not helping anyone.

Well I can't find the site you were on but Orthosiphon is just an herb that company's are putting into there weight loss pills. If they are not giving you a lot of info on the product I would stay away from it. If you want a recommendation I did some research and I right now am taking lipo6 from nutrex. I have not been taking the recommended doses cause it strong stuff and I am trying to get use it to. I need to step up my work out but it seems to be working. Check out GNC.com and see what out there. You can get stuff there for like 40 buck and get it right away instead of waiting for shipping and paying for shipping

I had many clients tell me that when I worked at a weight loss center. We highly recommended a multi-vitamin daily. Lots of people are not affected like this. I always explained it to you having more energy which actually can make you feel hungry. Fuel for the fire so to speak.

Join Weight Watchers---the most successful program out there and those who lose keep it off because they learn how to eat healthy without crash diets and other harmful stuff.You can go to meetings for support and to meet people just like you-cost approx 15,every time you go and you can either buy prepared food meals or can go on line and get recipes but I'd start by buying meals esp. if you work. The trick to exercise is not hard but duration-----find something you like-walking,jogging,hiking,swimming,dance,etc and then do it approx 1hr per day-begin 5-6 days a week-idea if you enjoy won't feel like exercise and you won't have to push yourself but look forward to doing-trick is do for 1hr-anything less will take a long time-to lose weight-sweat.

Try a Protein meal supplament at GNC they have tons.Carbs Cards.If you want to lose weight you must not eat these so if you want to gain weight eat them.If this dosen't work then get a thyroid check from your doctor you might have a high running thyroid.

Im in FL so, but most of the Dr's here have payment plans, but still very expensive, 17,000 - 24,000.  try a teaching hospital.  mean while try to help yourself lose weight. I am morbidly obese so I can talk.  weighed 278, down to 234 since Nov.  doing weight watchers.  The Dr's at the hospital I work at have seminars and get to gethers in the community.  Call the local hospitals and see what they have available, you might work out something.  good luck!  Its hell being fat!

Listen, I am so happy now. I put on so much weight after I had my first child. It was a terribly hormonal pregnancy so the weight never shifted despite trying so hard. Then I had my second child and weighed 80 kgs I ballooned to about 94kg at the end. And yes, I got stretchmarks. \n\nAnyway, I lost all the weight cause that was the one thing I really wanted to do for myself. Having kids is challenging but going to the gym gave me 1.5 hours of sanity a day. Something for myself as I didn't have heaps of help like others do. \n\nStretchmarks are still there but they really fade over time. There is a great product called Bio Oil in Australia and it helps reduce the lines. But, they will over time nonetheless. \n\nHere is the plan I followed cause I want you to do it too: If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Yes, I have been using it for about a month now and find it helps me! I was really really struggling to loose weight! But You have to exercise as well and watch your diet! It is so easy to blame weight gain on the condition but you have to exercise and watch how you eat as well.

I'm tired of people condescendingly saying all you have to do is eat less and exercise. Yes, that may work for YOU, but does NOT work for everyone. I tried everything (yes, including regular exercise!) and finally had to stop taking a prescription that I knew was preventing weight loss (I always research meds before taking them). I knew my thyroid was low but it was not low enough to treat medically so I got no help there. Finally my GP gave me phentermine and I have lost 42-43 pounds in a year. It is not a magic pill. You still have to eat less and exercise, but it makes those two things effective. In the long run you do have to develop healthier habits.  And stay away from soy. It suppresses your thyroid, which controls your metabolism.
