My mother doesn't have hypothyroidism but had an issue with her thyroid that affects her weight loss. I was having similar symptoms and had everything checked. I was doing weight training and cardio and lost 3lbs in 6 months time...no change, always within my calories. I had bloodwork, my thryoid checked....everything was normal. So, definitely get checked out first and foremost and if those come back clean, you may want to look into V02 and Metabolic testing. That's what I ended up getting done. Turns out it was just my heart rate and calories that were off. I needed an EXACT number that was mine...not some calculation...and turns out I was working out too hard. My anaerobic threshold was much lower than others due to allergies/not breathing well enough to get enough oxygen intake during workouts. 43lbs later in 6 1/2 months, best thing I ever did.0

I looked at your diary, and I have done some of the beachbody programs and you are netting about 1000 calories.. I am sure the nutrition guide for insanity has you eating 1500 or more calories.. may want to eat more to break your plateau or take a physical and diet break for a week.how do i open up that option?? i was interested in doing that!! but i'm still a newbie to this site it seems lol. and yeah, carbs are my complete and total weakness
i'll try and lower them and replace with more protein

I would start from the beginning... what is your BMR and TDEE?
Then go from there. Your eating is way up and way down... not really consistant...
If you are new, maybe you need to go to the Newbies section and see how to calculate your numbers and then start from there.
You might want to try using the instructions in this google drive folder. There is one for getting started by HelloitsDan, and a calories calculator to help figure out what your caloric intake should be....

There are plenty of folks on MFP that will help you figure this stuff out, but you gotta be willing to take the suggestions...
Good Luck and if you need any help figuring numbers out, let me know!0 -
150-300 grams/day – Steady, Insidious Weight Gain
Continued higher insulin-stimulating effect prevents efficient fat burning and contributes to widespread chronic disease conditions. This range – irresponsibly recommended by the USDA and other diet authorities – can lead to the statistical US average gain of 1.5 pounds of fat per year for forty years.
This makes me glad I'm not part of U.S. statistics any longer. I eat 200-280g of carbs per day and am losing weight (no idea if it's fat) and my only health problem is pre-hypertension/high BP.
OP: I say you're not eating enough to balance out your exercising.0 -
