Welcome to Thyroid Health & Fitness Support & Indiana Support Group Info Site! All Are Welcome! We are looking for ACTIVE members! For those of us who don't find good weight loss support in other weight loss groups...because the reasons that we are overweight and unable or have a hard time losing are a lot of times NOT the same as for others without thyroid disease...we are not lazy, we have a disease which exhausts us, we don't lay around eating everything in sight... our bodies just don't process what we do eat properly...our systems run slower than others and a lot of doctors do not know what they are doing with this disease...so we remain either un or under-medicated...a lot of times the conventional methods of losing weight and "diet & nutritional" wisdom do not work with our disease...Most of us eat pretty healthily or at least no worse than many thin people who are not "over-weight"...some do have eating disorders, just like people with other diseases sometimes do...many of us exercise regularly or because of this disease and the aches and pains that go along with it, are unable to...many of us have tried everything, yet we are still unable to lose or stop gaining and that is where the support comes in...to cheer each other on, because we are all in this together and have the same disease...even with the same disease, we all have different symptoms and problems...some gain a lot of weight and others gain very little or have no trouble losing, some have horrible depression and lose most of their hair...etc., etc. Also, this is a Support Group...we are not just here to supply information on thyroid disease...we are here because we did not find the support we needed with weight loss and/or thyroid disease in other groups...this is not a group where we will only talk about thyroid disease...we are here to try to heal the whole person...thyroid disease has lots of symptoms, like depression and weight gain and low libido, so we will explore everything ...nothing is off-topic as long as it is posted with respect and has to do with the exploration of getting well...and just having a place to be able to talk to friends who understand is very healing...and we do tolerate our friends just needing to talk...we are not one of these groups who insists on every post being absolutely, totally "on-topic"...if that was the kind of group we wanted, we would not have bothered to start our own...anyone can have that kind of group and they are free & easy to start...if you want boring and just the facts, we are not the group for you...I realize your time is precious...so is mine & I don't need to be told that what little time I have to be on here is a waste of your time, because someone is going through a rough time and needs to talk...skim and delete...skim & delete!
