Also, we discovered I have a goiter (a growth on the thyroid) and I just got the results that it's not cancerous.
So, that's the good news.
Bad news, I probably won't lose until my thyroid is optimized, but meanwhile I just keep eating on plan (because it's delicious ; )
I don't bother weighing or using ketostix, just being patient while the weeks and months go by, and we adjust my thyroid meds.
My levels were deliberately kept low for years, so who knows what damage was done, and what I'll feel like at a "normal" range.
Patience.
