Hi everyone. I had TT a little over a year ago due to papillary thyroid cancer. For the past 7 weeks I have been doing crossfit 4-5 days per week and doing fairly well with my food choices. I'm disappointed to say I have not seen any changes nor lost any weight. The women I talk to who are doing a consistent exercise routine (all have their thyroid) have lost weight within the first month and saw definition develop within a couple months.

I am really concerned that even with the exercise and diet I am doing the lack of a thyroid is not going to change my body. Are there any success stories out there from women with similar situation?

    That sounds like not enough time to me. You are still healing, plus your lifestyle change was only 7 weeks ago. Give yourself some time to adjust.

    Yes results are possible. Don't give up. For me, it comes off very slowly. I have to log everything, food and exercise wise. :happy:

    Do you notice any changes? Clothes fitting better, etc? I crossfit 3-4x week, I go heavy with the weights, I very rarely see changes on the scale, but my clothes fit better or I look different in the mirror. Try looking for changes that way. Are you eating enough to fuel a crossfit workout? I've been doing it for over 1.5 years, so I know it's intense. I recently added some more carbs in. I also track on My Fitness Pal, and have recently gone to a "if it fits your macros" way of eating.
