50 Pounds Down and No More Thyroid Meds: My Journey with Emerge

My Journey: I am a hyper responder. I stayed on 2.5mg the entire time and took a six-week break starting mid-November. I prioritized protein and completely changed my diet and portion sizes.

I work in a hospital, so I am always walking. When I don’t have equipment, I take the stairs.

The Results: 7 months. 50 pounds. Thank you, Emerge Together, for giving me my life back!

Non-Scale Victories (NSVs):

• I can cross my legs when I sit!

• I feel comfortable trying on clothes in stores because I fit into mainstream sizes now.

• I no longer have hypothyroidism because I lost weight. My thyroid is able to produce enough hormones for my body at my current weight. No more thyroid meds!
