Life after thyroidectomy
Hi all, I had a total thyroidectomy five days ago because of suspected thyroid cancer.

Do I need to add cardio to my routine to start burning fat?
I used to have a fast metabolism, but as I hit 30 and became less active it really changed; I no longer was able to eat what ever I wanted and not see any significant change on my body, I used to hit a max of 225lbs and wonder why I could never get passed it. Then as I wasn't being very active and got older I climbed all…
