some of us also have thyroid disorders. I am a larger woman, work out everyday, eat around 1,500 calories (only that much now because I am expecting), and am still overwieght. I have hypothyroid, as does my sister. My mom has graves, wich is fluctuating thyroid. Even with medication we all have a hard time. My mom has it worst, her weight fluctuates quickly, and because of this she often doesn't feel well.

I used to get upset when people would comment about my weight. Now I just ignore people. I only care what my doctor says, and as long as she says I am overall healthy, I'm OK with that. Luckily my husband feels the same way.

You have the right attitude: health is number one.
If husband is happy with your looks, wife if happy. If wife is happy, husband ( and EVERYONE else) is happy.

I posted this earlier, but a really eye-opening book is The Metabolic Typing Diet, which has a lengthy questionnaire which puts you into a protein type, carb type or a mixed type diet. I found it very helpful; it might help you as well.
