clicky. PP weight loss in the 1st year - I might be sick

sorry about the weight post, but I want to know how much is too much weight to lose.

My T4 levels are elevated but I thought that it could be from BFing

    I am assuming you are including pregnancy weight. I lost the 45 pounds I gained while pregnant, plus an extra 5.

    I lost the 18lbs that I gained while pg and another 16lbs on top of that.  I gained 5lbs back when I weaned.

    How much is too much will depend -- In the first 8 months, I lost the 45 pounds that I gained during my pregnancy and an extra 12 or so.  I felt great, but my weight was still in the average range.

    I am sorry you are going through this, but if your thyroid levels are elevated and you are symptomatic (i.e. losing a lot of weight), then your thyroid is overactive.  This poll isn't going to change that.

    I lost my most of my pregnancy weight and didn't really go up or down more than that until I stopped BFing when I lost a few more pounds.

    My grandfather has a hyperactive thyroid, but I thought that most of the weight loss could be attributed to BFing.

    I was wondering what average was and I am in denial.

    I'm still BFing (just AM and PM), and I'm 2 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight. I've been at this weight since Liam was about 5 months old.

    Why bother being in denial. Just get treated for it. Are you having any other symptoms?

    You may want to take into account your BMI as well. Some people can afford to lose 10, 20, 30+ lbs and it's not necessarily a problem. I lost about 15 past my pre-pg weight, which put my BMI at about a 17.5. I was really skinny.

    I had my thyroid tested and one of my T4 levels was low - suggesting hyperthyroidism? (which seemed counterintuitive to me, but I think I have that right.) The rest of my levels (TSH, etc.) were normal. I saw an endocrinologist who repeated the bloodwork; I had since weaned my daughter and all was back to normal. The endocrinologist was not concerned.

    It is really common to have thyroid issues within 2 years of giving birth, or while breastfeeding... and if that is the case, it may or may not resolve itself.

    I have gained a few pounds back now, but I am still about 10 pounds down. I'm not really worried about it anymore, though, now that I've seen a doctor... I think I'm just busier than I used to be, making less time to eat and spending more time chasing a 1-year-old.  :)
