@Moondoggie9155 thanks so much for your response. I have just had my dose increased so will see how that goes. Really interesting that you are better on naturethyroid rather than Armour - I will have a look at that - I've no idea if my Doc will prescribe for me but i do want to try something else as my current pills aren't…

Thanks @Theeerica I'll check out the book and thanks for tip on taking meds at night x

Thanks @JadeQuetzal It is interesting how other illnesses can impact the Big T (as it's called in my house). I feel that I have a 'crash' after working loads or something more strenuous that normal exercise wise like a tournament. I try to plan for it now and give myself recovery time as it's becoming more predictable. I…

@CSARdiver thanks for your long post. Yes I've had all the blood tests that are possible as my thyroid doesn't seem to want to fit anything like 'normal'. I've been in a Research Hospital for numerous tests on things like the REE to see what is going on with my body. My blood tests show that I'm overmedicated but…

@Thick_n_Fit_Mom thank you so much for your response!! It is so nice to know that someone gets it! Flipping thyroid does have a mind of its own! I've just had my dose increased so hoping that i can see some losses soon. I've also just made an appointment with a nutritionalist who also has an underactive thyroid so hoping…

I so know how you feel!! I feel like I'm back at square one too...and you do feel a little bit like no-one believes you when you are dieting and exercising..plus very hard to keep motivated. I hope your blood test help and you get back on track x

Thanks very much @dennalfisher I didn't go into detail in my post but my levels have never been in the 'normal' range and my Endocronologist now accepts that for some reason I'm 'odd'...makes it harder through to gauge when I'm on the right levels and it's a lot more trial and error! My supplier has changed which I didn't…

Good luck with your Bloods.

Hi - yes I weigh everything. I can lose weight easily when my thyroid is under control its when it's a problem that I can't. My Dr once told me that I wouldn't lose even if I was eating 200 calories until the meds were at the right level.

Oh geez...misread your post. I also had a .2 loss two weeks ago after working at this so hard. I can relate to your frustration. But... sounds like you're doing all the right things so success is just around the corner. Hang in there. Good luck.[/quote] Thanks @Juslilly I'm hoping to start seeing some progress soon! Only…

Annoyed after losing 2 lbs? I think that's awesome. Be proud girl! Good work. [/quote] I def wouldn't be annoyed with losing 2 pounds....lost 0.2 of a pound in the past 2 weeks. ☹️scales are not my friend! I'm keeping going though. I've been really upping my running and ran 54 miles in August and stuck to my calories so…

Lost 0.2 of a pound! So annoyed! Under active thyroid is being poop! Im going to keep on keeping on but can't say I don't get disheartened!!!! Hope everyone else doing well xxx

Hiya - I'm a newbie to the group and arriving late! I'm planning on running 37 miles by the end of August. I'm in training for a half marathon on the 8 October and then my first full marathon in April which is terrifying!! I'll come back and let you know how I'm getting on. Good luck everyone with your own challenges :) xxx
