I am 25 and just recently got married. I have never really had a weight problem, but I used to have a problem with my weight. A few years ago I was 5'7 and weighed around 135lbs, me personally thought that was too big, but I didn't really care that much. About 3 years ago I moved to another state and I gained about 20 pounds in a matter of a few months. Wow that was a rough one to take, given that I didn't like being 135, being 155 really screwed with my head. I went to see the doctor and was diagnosed Hypothyroid and I had Hashimoto's disease. One side of my thyroid was growing nodules while the other side was dying from the Hashimoto's. After 3 years of doctors appointments and one surgery later, they are just now getting my thyroid levels where they "should" be. So I have been fighting a losing battle, because no matter how I ate, my weight has not dropped. It is very frustrating. But I am trying to do new things to see if I can get the weight down to were I want to be.
