So I have hypothyroid. I weigh 139/140. Ive started this program/guidelines (mfp) and it said my bmr is 1385. I'm 5'4" and 21 yrs old. So for me to lose one pound a week. I have to stick to around 1400 net Cal. How many of you with thyroid problems expect to lose less? All my tests r normal. But what is a realistic goal to lose each week?

    I guess I would like to lose 15/20 pounds. Then gain back 10 with muscle. Then lose 10, I would like to stay around 125/130 but it is hard for someone to gain muscle and lose fat. So I've heard that you should do one at a time. So for six months. I would like to have a goal of 120lbs. And gain about 10 of muscle. And then lose the fat again. I want to be as lean as I can be at around 120.
