  • Actually thyroid issues cause a lot of metabolic problems and they are very common. But for that you should talk to your doctor. I would rule out thyroid issues before paying for this test. I lost all the weight after my first pregnancy with CICO, but after the second the weight didn't budge. It took months before I ran…
    in Is getting your RMR clinically tested worth it? Comment by thatgumyoulike May 2016
  • Like others have mentioned, before diagnosis and treatment I was working out 90 minutes a day and logging 1500 calories and still gaining fast. Once I got my levels right I was able to lose at 1400 and much less exercise, an hour 3 times a week. I also walk my dog 1 hour a day. I also feel much better. The loss is a little…

  • As I edited my last post, I interpreted the first part about metabolism not playing a roll wrong and caught it on a reread. Sorry. Get so used to the CICO above all you read on here I got blinded by it. My apologies.

I'm new to the diagnosis, but I'm going to take my meds and eat relatively healthy. If I notice I am having issues I can eliminate a food and see if it helps, but…

  • I was in a similar situation and the only thing that helped me was staring thyroid meds to bring my numbers down. Have you had all your numbers checked? Do you have hashimoto antibodies? If so your levels can fluctuate a lot. I got so frustrated trying to lose premeds, now I have the same regimine with less exercise and am…
    in Does ~1600 sound reasonable for a 180lb woman trying to lose weight Comment by thatgumyoulike April 2015
  • Ugh, really? I'm a runner and have always kept between 125 and 135. After my first kid I lost the weight quickly. After my second it would not budge. I ran, did p90x counted calories and kept going up. I was convinced I was just not doing enough and it was my fault. After 18 months I finally asked my doctor. My thyroid was…
