Subject: My first post

Hello everyone. You might not guess it to look at me, but I am apx. 100 pounds overweight. I am solid and have only gone up between 2 to 3 dress sizes.

I am hypothyroid and the task of losing weight is much more difficult than ever before. Top that off with various depressive symptoms and I've got a long hard road in front of me. My income is a HUGE factor in being able to purchase better foods (even for a plan such as WW) as I would love to purchase more fruits, which I adore, but they're most often out of my price range.

In a thyroid group I'm in, one person has mentioned losing 5 pounds after having just started using a product called PGX, a fiber supplement from Canada. You take it in the morning and it levels blood sugar and takes away cravings, and it is supposed to help diabetics as well.

Has anyone tried or heard of this product, PGX?

Welcome Testy! I am glad to see you post here. We need all the people we can find. LOL
I have never heard of this product but I would be very interested in it. I too have the income problem. It is so hard to diet, eat healthy and lose weight when you can't afford the right foods. Right now I am trying(and losing the battle) to control portion sizes. I am eating more vegetables though and constantly reminding myself to watch every morsel that goes in my mouth. I try very hard to eat a salad or vegetables as a first course before my meal so I eat less of the food I should eat less of. it helps when I do this but I cant always do it.

keep trying!

Have you heard of Herbal life. The tea, aloe, and shake every
morning and dinner helped me and my husband. HE is a diabetic
with over 350 sugar count and now is between 95-110. He and I also have watch those pounds start to come off.
