@psychod787 - I’ve been questioning my thyroid for years and I pushed for a dietician / endocrinologist referral. It keeps fluctuating and I have a family history of Hashimoto and sojourns and I would like to get it in control now if there is an issue. I have a lot of the other signs as well... but when my family dr says…

Thank you, all, for your insight. I’m making a 1200 goal and increasing activity and water - fingers crossed! (Also a food scale is headed my way from Amazon!) Also, the person who did the testing advised me to integrate additional strength & resistance training in hopes that my metabolism will perk up a bit.

Thank you all for your insight and advice. I truly appreciate it. I’m really at a place where other perspective is helpful (mostly). The nutritionist and I have only had 1 meeting and 1 phone call since results from the RMR. I have consulted my dr numerous times, ending with me in tears because she just wants to hand over…

@texasredreb - I’m a new user / poster. I haven’t been able to figure out how to reply to individual posts- so my ignorance in technology is my issue, not me replying to only the advice I like. I’m replying at the bottom of the thread I see, simply put. So I don’t mean to sound unappreciative or input, i am literally…

I was journaling in the weight watchers app and now via MFP. I wear a Fitbit, so when doing cross fit, I was just selecting one of the work our programs. However I didn’t add that activity into my daily input/output so I was not relying on that per se ... just kinda hoping it was extra in that calculation. I’m going to try…

Yep, the zero foods... I was monitoring those more the last couple weeks ... I figured that must be part of it, but I still tracked those ... Is a lower carb approach the best in a general Opinion? Not keto or anything that drastic, but generally speaking? So choose hard boiled egg over granola bar? My mind is cluttered…

Also adding, the testing was at a hospital occupational health department.

The 1000 came up at the deficit of 500 calories a day to get to at least 3,500 in a week to lose 1# (based on the 3500=1# formula). Basing my activity at lightly active, hoping to have a bigger deficit than the 500/day to achieve a higher/faster loss result. I obviously did read the report; I’m looking for advice since the…

RMR tested by EKG/ CO2 output at dietary clinic. These in depth numbers are obviously new to me as I’ve been really tracking / journaling since I’m having such trouble with weight gain. Trying to increase my steps - my daily job is sedentary but evenings are spent rarely sitting down (kids, pets, house, etc.). Was…

And I genuinely appreciate advice! I’m still waiting on the nutritionist to give me a plan and to see an endocrinologist for specifics. But yes, my understanding was to eat under the 1,000 to get the best result. But if that’s not correct, then great. I average about 6,000 steps/ day and am planning to get back to cross…

I am female, 41, 5’10 weigh 286. I have gained 60# in 2 years, while doing these various plans, efforts. I’ve had bloodwork done every 6 months, specifically thyroid at my urgency to the doctor. My numbers come back in the “normal” range but I insisted on a referral to an endocrinologist and am waiting on that. The…
