Awesome results! You are a great success story for all of us struggling with weight gain and hypothyroid issue. Keep up the awesome job!!!

I know how you feel girl. Just keep bugging your endo!!! You wont feel better until you get more meds. Also are you getting enough carbs in your diet? I notice that when I use to go on a low-carb diet for a few days I start to feel like crap. Even more fatigue then normal. I hope your endo will reply soon and with some…

I take mines in the morning. I take my t4/t3 and then my other t3 in the evening.

Okay finally got my labs results: TSH=0.03 (0.10-5.50) Free T4=1.2 (0.8-1.7) T3=76 (50-170) Cortisol = 9 (Endo says its normal) So, my endo says my TSH is suppressed. But, she reduce my T3 cytomel because with the T4/T3 combo she's says I am on too high of a dosage and she says sometimes being too Hyper can cause fatigue…

My cortisol level was 9. According to my Endo. She says my adrenal and cortisol labs came back normal. A relief in a way because I can cross that out the list of why I'm still feeling fatigue. It doesn't hurt to get it tested to make sure.

Yes, I will post my results once I get it. Thanks!

I am actually going to be getting more labs on my adrenal/cortisol levels soon. I'll let you know what my results are.

WOW, our Endo really see things differently. My endo's main concern is why it is still Surpressed. I know that before my surgery I was REALLY Hyper but after the surgery I was Hypo. I was thinking that because I was Hyper for so long without knowing could be the reason why its surpressed. But it is odd because I don't have…

Looking at these test, I've done about half already. I'll be asking for Thyroid Antibodies, IRON, B12/Folate. Thank you so much!

Bridget<--- Thanks, I'll bring it up. Kristy<--- So I eat from 1200-1400 calories a Day and idk what my BMR is. But, Before I tried low-calorie, I was not paying attention to my calorie intake but just eating 5 small meals and working out and I was still gaining weight like crazy and feeling awful. Right after the surgery…

lol at the frog jumps. Yes the name says it all "INSANITY". LOL I'm in my late 20's and its hard for me! Yea i'm looking forward for month 2 next week. You should keep on going. I know its intense and insane but you can also take a brake to catch your breath and keep pushing forward. Let me know how you like 30DS, I was…

I guess its really hard to get a accurate reading. Thanks for the tips, I will try to take my reading in the morning and not during TOM. I'm just going to pay more attention to how my body actually looks and my measurements. Thanks guys!

I spranged my ankle from running too. But I do have low calcium so I know my bones are not as strong yet. Still taking my vitamins C+D. It now swelling anymore. I gave it 2 weeks off, no workouts at all for the healing process, its okay now. Still a little sore if I bend it a certain way, so I'm still wearing a brace while…

Thanks for sharing! So, I'm about Halfway on the Insanity Program. Currently on the Recovery Week. I've only lost 2 pounds and 3 inches. So Sad (darn your Hypo). And I had a 2 week break in between due to a spranged ankle which I probably gained weight from and lost it when I started back up. Anyways....But like you said,…

NO, I have never ate back the calories I've burned. I know that I will gain weight for sure If I did that. Before being Hypo, I was eating probably 2000-2500 a day and the only workout was volleyball 2 times a week, I maintain my weight with no issues. After the surgery, and now Hypo. I reduce it to 1200-1600(Hardest thing…

I've never had any issues with not being able to sleep since I've been Hypothyroid (1Year now). But, I have always been a fast sleeper. Sorry couldn't help here. However, I have had issue with really bad muscle spasm and cramps. They were so horrible I had to go to the ER to calcium through the IV. It was due to LOW…

Shaky Babe<Yes, I'm in the US too, Bay Area, CA. Eeveryone<Thanks for sharing your experiences and suggestions on this topic. Yes I've rather make sure that the weight I lose won't come back. The thing with me is that I do workout almost everyday. The only thing I really need to work on is choosing healthier options for my…

LUVSJAYMV<Are you talking about shakeology by Teambeachbody. I was thinking about trying that one. Why do you have to take it 4 hours after your meds? What kind of meds are you on. Does the shake have calcium? Because thats the only thing i know you need to take 4 hours apart from synthriod and cytomel. TECALLAHAN<----…

I had mines removed in 02/2011. Wow! its been a year this month! I also gained weight instantly eventhough I started eating healthy and working out, I still gained over 20 pounds. I'm currently on a combo of T4 and T3. My levels have not stabalized yet though. I'm still working out and on the low calorie intake. I'm losing…

I use to only take levothyroxine and I could just die, I was so depressed and felt so fatigue I couldn't explain it. I just wasn't myself anymore. No passion for life. T3 is the Active form of thyriod replacement and it literally changed my life. I LOVE IT! The one i'm on is Cytomel. So, I'm on a combo of T4 and T3. I…

I tried to sign it but just noticed that its for UK or British resident. Sorry, I'm in the US. I hope it passes. The T3 has work wonders for me. I'm currently on both T4 and T3 combo. Best of luck!!!

I used to have hyperthyroidism and then after the surgery and removing both of my thyriods I became Hypothyriod. Anyways, when I was hyper, I lost probably about half of my hair, After the surgery, my hair started growing back. So, once your one the right dosage and your hormones are balanced your hair will stop falling…

You look good! Keep it up. Maybe you yo-yo since it was during the holidays? BUT you did good 20 pounds is ALOT! Keep going strong in 2012! You can do it!

I just joined this group and I would love some Hypothyroid accountable mfp! I am currently doing the INSANITY Program by Shaun T. We'll see how I do in 2 months!!!

I'm 5'3 and my goal is 130lbs. I'm currently at 156. I'll be really happy if I get to 140 since that was the weight I was before I had surgery removal of my thyroids. Which makes it even harder to lost weight. I'm excited to start losing more weight this year. Hello 2012!

Bump** 5'3-5'4 Sw-162 Cw-156 Gw-130 I love this post! So motivating! Hopefully one day I'll be able to post a success before and after picture.

I had surgery in Feb 2011 and had both my thyroids removed. I've gained over 20 lbs since, I've tried other diets but the weight come right back up. So i just started MFP 2 weeks ago, and so far so good. I think the main thing is to being patient, the weight will come off slower than other people. But i know its possible,…

Hi, I recently had a full thyroidectomy (surgery to remove both thyroids) in Feb 2011. I started with only the T4 medication and haven't been able to lose any weight but instead i kept on gaining. After the surgery I have gained 20lbs in like 3 months. So finally, I was put on both T4 and T3 and working out 5 times a week…
