i am just about to get my prescription of this, the hospital decided to try me on it again after being successful on it before ( then i had babies)

i must be one of them anomalies! in july when my thyroid took a dive, i gained 11lbs in 2 weeks 8lbs first week and 3lbs the next on 1400 calorie deficit. thats what spurred me to get tested at the drs. all i have wanted is for myself to be put on the same level as everybody else who can lose weight normally i definitely…

Can you take that as well as the levo?

i have no choice but to take levo, its the only thing that is offered in the uk unfortunately

its all trial and error hun, if youve eaten your 1500 on days you've exercised and you feel more hungry then go ahead and eat some of them. do you calculate your net gross exercise burned? these are the calories you would burn regardless of exercising or just lying down? i calculate my net on shapesense.com. i too have a…

as your on 1200 from the other post youll need to eat back all your calories. i dont find i need them as im already eating 1600 a day

do any of you find that it gets easier to lose weight if your tsh levels are below 1?

thank you everybody ive added you all xxx

i have the polar h7, and although its meant to be deems very accurate, i still only eat half cals ( once i deducted net vs gross those cals you would burn anyway sitting on the sofa)

you might find once your better find youll gain a bit back as 1. you'll begin eating again 2. your drink again.

yep, i am a member of that site and also health unlocked. i have researched my condition so i know what to go in with when seeing the dr as they sometimes dont know what there on about lol

hi hun i dont think i can? can you add me?

thank you x

me too im in Coventry!!! ( waves)

i would suggest lowering your rate of loss if you only have 20lbs to lose... and also eat half your cals

polar beat is the best app to use with the h7 i would definitely recommend it

I USE THE POLAR BEAT APP, IT HAS ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXERCISE ON THERE, AND GPS FOR RUNNING WALKING CYCLING ETC. records heart rate, calories, intensity

all i need now is for a couple of decent losses and ill be over the moon!

@GottaBurnEmAll thank you, it is now below 1 and i actually feel like i can get through a workout, the energy i feel is crazy. i cant believe i thought i was normal before, going to be at 7.30! with my levels below 1 im not hoping to begin to lose weight like a normal person if i put the work in

thank you for your response

do you use your exercise cals? and what rate of loss are you on?

how much has MFP allocated for you? ive just had to cange my rate of loss to 1lb per week. i have 2.5 stone to lose which is about 35lbs.. i exercise 3-4 times a week, and i suffer from hypothyroidism. i would trust what mfp gives you hun.

Ah this is interesting I turn it on then hop on it after moving it in place..I'll try that thank you

Yea but when it's the difference between losing gaining or staying the same it's hard to know

Yes that's what I do. The 1 tile is big enough to just fit the scales and I get on it until a same reading shows 3 times lol

brill thank you.. i'm hoping to get my results tomorrow

yes, im still experiencing some tiredness.. my hair is still very very thin.. does that ever go? and more importantly im on 1450 cals a day and not losing. i think i still have a long way to go

what do everyone aim their levels to be? my tsh is currently 2.96 which is technically ok, however i want a tsh levels for be less than 1, as ive read thats a optimal level for those with hypo

i started on 25mcg, now a few months down the line, ive not lost any weight yet..and im now on 100mcg, my appointment is on Monday i had my bloods taken today. i was feeling ok before this past week, im starting to feel tired again

nope i can safely say that it was the begining of august that happened ( before i knew about my thyroid dying) and i still am holding 8lbs of it. i remember like it was yesterday i was on 1400 cals a week, i gained 8lbs 1 weeks and 3lbs the next it floored me, its what made me go drs, as i knew what i was putting in my…
