I'm so glad to have found a board like this. My name is Wendy and I am 37 years old. I'm a mother of a 3 1/2 year old daughter and a 22-month old son. I have put on a lot of weight with my pregnancies, and have been unable to lose it all. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in December of 2007, and am on two different meds for that. My levels still aren't optimal, but I'm seeing my endocrinoligist every 3-months so hopefully I'll be there soon. I'm sure I have been hypo since my first pregnancy, and have gone undiagnosed, based on symptoms I have been having for years.

I'm undecided how much weight I want to lose. At my lowest weight in college I was 147 and looked good, but I don't know if I can get that low again. I'm also 5"8, and have what I consider to be a medium or large frame. For now I think I'd like to get to 155, so that would be 100 lbs to lose. Ugh!!!

Hi Wendy,
welcome to the site. You are in the right place! I am sure that with this life change and a well controlled hypothyroidism you will reach your goal.
