im also doing sw from home, and counting calories on here..i suffer from an under active thyroid so i dont want to go to class just yet

i burn about 450 calories doing body combat

ive took upon weighing every two weeks, for the simple fact of how stupidly anxious i get. im meant to be weighing tomorrow and i really dont want too because i know exactly how ill feel if the scales say the wrong thing and i have been doing the wrong thing for 2 weeks!

what are your levels? do you know?

Yes Tuesday weds and Thursday I can't do any exercise as I work full time then go straight to college till 9pm

you need to ask for your results, then see your levels, it could be your not on a high enough dose. the first symptom to go for me was the tiredness, the rest has yet to get better, we have to tweak our meds to get to the right levels

OH WOW! i need to up my levo ha ha

5.96 when diagnosed.. about 3 weeks ago it was 2.96 - im still symptomatic, with hair loss, weight gain.. however im now hoping that exercise will help me,

thats awesome news, ill continue trying to get my exercise in, i did stop all forms of exercise as i believed this, but within a few weeks felt awful.

aww brill. have you been successful with weight loss?

hi hun, i have hypthyroidism, i am on 100mcg of levo and cannot lose weight.. i so slimming world because i was just so sick and tired of counting dn weighing things like carrots etc. i lost 5 stone as of September 2015, however after then i struggled, finally in july 16 i was diagnosed. im hoping once my levels are stable…

As I said earlier I'm a member of weight loss resources a UK based calorie counting website. I carry a small set of scales in my handbag so I don't have to guess that is how pedantic I am with my logging. I pay £10 a month for a more thorough UK based database for my foods. I think I agree when people say 1600 is too much…

Could you please send me a link to buy some there's so many different ones out there?

Thank you so much.. she is willing to adjust my dose again on Monday. I need to ring her once she has the bloods. Yes I'll grab some selenium that's a good idea. I can't believe I was ignorant to believe this would be sorted as soon as I started taking the Meds lol

What I was hoping to gain. Was any others out there that have been where I have been and come out the other side better. Healthier and losing weight on levo. Thats all.

I did talk to her. She said it takes time for the pills to take effect that I'm still suffering from a slow thyroid. That o need patience. I know what I put in my mouth and I I have less calories now than I did a year ago when I was lighter! And I'm still gaining weight.

ok, thanks - yea i sometimes enter calories on both to compare - im trying to decide which is a better site for me thats all. that is very interesting because i ate something full of fat earlier ( unlike me) and funny enough didnt think about food until 2pm again not like me at all. i was surprised that my belly wasn't…

yes sorry i count calories on another website called weight loss resources.co.,uk. its a uk based website. thanks everyone for your replies. its the feeling of not being in control that frightens me, i will try to reduce my calories to 1350 and see if that helps. although i find i do get hungry

dam i wish i knew this before this morning i have just been for my bloods today and on the form it just states t3 and t4. im in the uk, and ive heard that we are not licensed for t3 here, does anybody know whether thats true? my doctor has just told me to be patient that it takes a while for the levo to work. that she will…

I've always been sedentary and never eaten exercise cals so it didn't effect me when I stopped exercising. I struggle for time now as I've started college I'm a mother of 2 and I work full time so as you can see I'm a bit busy. So maybe rosnz I need to up my dosage?

yes its strange.. its why i was tested for my thyroid in the first place, as ive already lost 5 stone ( well 4 now) i was doing everything right so i couldnt understand it. the bloods came back with a tsh of 5.8 and they stuck me on levothyroxine. since the pills ive gained a stone. this past year i was able to lose but…

i also have a tsh of 5.8... so its borderline, so perhaps im not hypo? i went to get my bloods checked for t3 and t4 this time. so il know in a few days, im on 50mg of levo each day. do you think i should ask for an increase?

at 16 stone 1600 is my maintenance? my tdee says 2300?

no i havent exercised in a while.. the last time i exercised i did body combat 4 times a week and gained 2lbs... my stats are female im 5ft 7 and im now 16 stone. (222lbs) i can probably do 1400 but anything lower than that and i find im hungry. to hungry to sustain the deficit. so i try and be kind to myself and opt for a…

between 1500- and 1600 a day

no i stopped losing weight a year ago. i have gained a stone and a half since July.. i know exactly what im putting in my mouth, i eat 1600 calories to lose 1.5 lbs a week., i did exercise but with looking after 2 girls/college/full time job its getting harder. i know deep down in my gut its not me, it has to be the pills.…

This has made me feel 100x better. Thanks everyone for reaching out. I'll carry on with the Meds and just wait on the next bloods.. fingers crossed.

I know and there adamant it's the Meds... I need to stop reading it all now.. cus people post there problems there not going to post success stories on it are they lol

Aww that's brill hun.. there is so much Internet garb about levo making people gain so much weight etc. And my gain this week it's scaring me half to death !

Yes I am. I'm a member of weightless resources a site UK based with a more accurate database.. I weigh and measure in there but they don't have the community this does. Is armour in the UK?
