Month 2 of DR asssisted weight loss & it just got tough

Hey there, I’m 36F, 5’2”, 219 lbs. Lost 7lbs last month on a 1,000 calorie/day diet. This month, my doc started me on Topamax, continued with the 1,000 cal/day and added a HIIT and strength training program 5 days a week. It’s a big time commitment!

A little background, I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease in late 2019 and had a thyroidectomy in 2020. I gained 80+ lbs in less than a year! I was then diagnosed with Cushing’s disease - I carry virtually all that weight around my waist. My arms and legs are a size 8 or 10 while my waist is a 20. It’s gross. I just got my thyroid levels balanced well enough to start to lose weight. The drastic diet & exercise + meds are all because I literally have NO metabolism. I’m on a ton of supplements to keep my hair from falling out and other nasty things from happening. I just want to get back to myself and I’m willing to work hard.
