As the mother of 4, my weight has gone up and down over the passed 8 years, always battling a bit after each pregnancy to loose the extra. Late last year my weight started going up, instead of down, only to find out that I have Hashimoto Disorder, where my body is attacking my Thyroid. The meds are great to control future weight gain, but do nothing for loosing the weight you already gained. This year I have made a decision to have the body, weight and fitness level that I want.
