Hello! My name is Renay and I am 25 years old. I'm a full-time college student. I have been suffering from the symptoms of Hypothyroidism for three years now. After the military doctors told me there was nothing wrong, I did research myself. I thought it might be hypothyroidism and asked the doctor about it, but he assured me that it was nothing. A medical discharge for mental health and three years later a doctor finally listened and sure enough.... hypothyroidism. I had actually begun to believe I was crazy and making up the symptoms! So, here I am starting to get my life back and trying to loose some weight as well. I have stuggled with my weight. Recently I began a doctor supervised nutrition plan called MOVE. The hypothyroidism played it's part in me gaining 55 lbs in the last year and a half. I had lost hope completely of being in my recommended healthy weight range. Now though, I see that the weight gain had a cause, and now I can be treated. As I begin treatment for hypothyroidism, I am hoping that a balanced diet in combinatinon with excercise will help me reach a healthy weight again.
