I think this is one of the only websites where "A new low" is a positive thing :P Congrats on the new low, I love that feeling :) I think you should tell your doctor you're taking Hydroxycut, I tell my doctor everything I take/do even if it's frowned upon by society - how else are they supposed to do their job efficiently? t Good luck, I hope you're having fun with your weightloss :) 

I had mentioned it to him before and he wasn't thrilled because it was a stimulant and the dose of thyroid meds I was on had pushed me to hyper instead of hypo. So he took me completely off the meds for about 30 days to see where I'd land (new dr to me) to see where to put the dosage. The normal is 2-5. I was at 35. I was hardly able to function. So after 2 weeks when I tell him I'm still having a hard time, having to add back lots of caffeine to make it thru the day, he tells me it can take about 6 weeks (it didn't when I was first diagnosed). I'm using at this point for the stimulant more than the weight loss so I can function. May or may not tell him about it but it isn't stronger than coffee as far as the caffeine and he wasn't concerned about that, so. I appreciate the feedback though. I've been at this for 6 weeks (right around the whole thyroid fiasco) so this is the first I've lost in basically 6 weeks. I've had to cut way back on the carbs to get it to move. I'm trying for 8 veg net carbs and about 11 total. Hopefully at some point the thyroid will normalize and I can add more back in but it's still REALLY nice to see some movement. Come by anytime wanderer! :)
