Starting Over

Herc501 · February 2015

Hello all. I am new to this community on here. I'm 5'5" 140 lbs. I had thyroid cancer surgery in June, and untreated subclinical hypothyroidism for five months post surgery. Finally on meds and adjusting to life with thyroid disease. Luckily, I kept working out during the whole thyroid ordeal, so I'm just looking to lose the 10 lbs I gained since June and get my pre-stupid medical issues fitness level back!! I miss being able to do my pull ups! It was only 5, which is kind of lame, but I still want them back, damnit!

5 pull ups is amazing, good for you!! I wish I could do at least one.

Definitely read the Sexypants link posted above!

MFP has a Hypothyroid & Hyperthyroid group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/753-hypothyroidism-and-hyperthyroidism

I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease). Thyroid meds (in my case, Synthroid & Cytomel) reduce the fatigue so I can be more active. But I lost weight just like everybody else—by eating fewer calories than I burn. You can do it, too.
