October 2007 at 240lbs I decided to live a healthier lifestyle. My doctor confirmed my highest recorded weight with him was 250lbs in May 2007. I joined SparkPeople.com at 172lbs with 45 more lbs to lose to reach my goal weight in December 2008.

October 2007 at 240lbs I decided to live a healthier lifestyle. My doctor confirmed my highest recorded weight with him was 250lbs in May 2007. I joined SparkPeople.com at 172lbs with 45 more lbs to lose to reach my goal weight in December 2008.
I was always the chubbier kid growing up. I was made fun of endlessly. That didn't help with my self-confidence much. I remember thinking I was so fat in Junior High at 150lbs! What I would do to be that weight now...LOL! (I finally made it past that 150lb mark...WOO HOO!!!!)
I graduated High School weighing in at 185lbs. I remember weighing myself at a friend's house. We were talking about gaining the freshman 15 at college. I swore to myself, that I would never let myself hit 200lbs!!!! LOL....yeah right! I was 240lbs by the time I graduated college in 2001.
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in 2001. This was slowing down my metabolism, which is why my weight consistently was rising year by year. Combine that with poor dietary habits, and BANG....240lbs. My doctor had built me up to 100mcg of Levothyroxine per day up until 2008. However, the majority of my symptoms were not going away. Thanks to the Thyriod Community team, I learned of a new drug that may suit my condition better. My doctor changed me over to Armour a week after I signed up with SparkPeopel.com. At first he put me on 60mg, with the retesting of my blood I have been pushed up to 90mg. We'll see how I do with retesting 5 weeks out at that dose. He told me that there were already some improvements, so things can only get better from here!
UPDATE: I am to stay at 90mg of Armour
