Always had thyroid issues and so regularly monitored not the issue.
I tried exercise, calorie watching during the 6 months and for another 6 months. The scale held but could not lose weight. I was miserable.
Finally started HRT. Holy sh*t life changing. Was happier, thinking better, decreased hot flashes and I lost 3 pounds the first month doing nothing different. Second month, upped the dosage and now I am sleeping like a baby, ZERO hot flashes, I feel sharp again and I have lost another 2 pounds doing nothing different.
It has been amazing.
Me again - this all started at age 50.
