Thanks!! :smiley:

I'm set to lose 1 a week. Meds are allegedly on point but since I'm "back on the wagon" for only a few weeks, I can't really tell yet. I can say I've lost 2 pounds in the first two weeks, though. A rare thing!

So, if I am understanding this correctly, with the exercise, I had a "bank" of 14,419. I ate 13,144. So my calorie deficit is 3500+1275? Technically, I should lose a pound (being hypothyroid, that part is questionable, but I am only checking the deficit calculation right now). Please can you confirm this is a correct…

Can Thyroid-S be imported to the US or is it only for UK and Canada?

I use Synthroid (brand name) and Cytomel (brand name). Does anyone else do this combo? I have my Synthroid (88mcg) and Cyto (5mcg) at night, then another Cyto (10mcg) about 12 hours later (or when I start to feel cruddy, whichever comes first). My numbers are spot on with this combination, although I'm still feeling tired…

I use the supplement daily but I am not sure it's having any effect. I've been using it throughout my treatment for hypothyroidism, so I can't say whether there's a positive or negative effect. My osteopath approves, though. I have about 20 pounds to lose, and have had that for the past 3 years. I only just started back to…

Aldi opened in my area and I did a comparison run between it and the grocery store I like to shop at. I found almost no difference in the prices between them. A perk for my fave store is that I get fuel discounts for dollars spent there, in addition to the good deals. I'll recheck at Aldi, but for our area, at least, it…

That is my worry, Joshua! :D

Mine are also manually set. I have a little over 1600 in MFP.

I understand what you both mean. I know there's an inbuilt 500 calorie deficit. I also have that setup in my Fitbit.

Thanks for the help. Not eating back the exercise cals will help considerably. I don't eat them ALL back but I was in them to about 100 calories over the past few days.

That is a lot of food, though. I am not sure I can eat that much! That was my problem tonight. I'm still 50 g under, have calories left, but I'm too full to eat anymore.

I am talking both food and exercise. It double entried on both. But if I understand your suggestion, it's better to log all on Fitbit than here? I did notice today that Fitbit has me with 133 calls left to eat, while MFP gives me 330. The exercise amount s the same. Not sure if the base, starting rate is, tho.

I started taking a product called Thyroid Support by One Body. It has made a huge difference. My doctor looked at my numbers this last week, ask me how I felt, and when I told her I felt great she said she had no reason to change anything. I told her about this product, showed it to her, and she said it was fine. I have…

Not me personally, but a close friend did. Turns out it WAS adrenal fatigue. Extra supplements, slight diet changes and her energy returned along with her hair growing back.

I started taking a thyroid support supplement from 1Body about a week ago. It has a lot of the above mentioned herbs and minerals. I am finding myself feeling more alert now. A new report just came out (read it yesterday online) that said that the garcinia cambogia supplement had little to no effect on weight loss.

Just for reference, today I had a two hour delay class. In that class about halfway through, I had to take one half of my Cytomel dose. I took the other half of the dose after class. I did make it through. It wasn't easy. I also took the Rhodiola before class. I was mistaken in the MCG though. Apparently, if you check the…

I have decided to wait till my next appointment. In the meantime, I have started using a half dose of 1Body Thyroid Support. Only one day so far but impressed. The longer term will tell, though. Will update in about a week. If this works, it'll replace a handful of supplements I have been taking.

Um.....I don't have one. I just started looking into it. I am interested in hearing from anyone who might have actually used it, though.

I didn't lose any weight and had serious headaches and heart palpitations. For someone who normally has lower blood pressure, this was not good!

Are you experiencing any hypo or hyper symptoms? If you feel okay, perhaps it's best not to rock the boat, so to speak.

I used garcinia for a while but it gave me really bad side effects.

I exercise quite heavily. I get up in the middle of the night and take a combination of Synthroid and Cytomel. The Cytomel I take a middle of night is 50 MCG. My next dose is scheduled for around three or four in the afternoon. For the past several weeks, I have had a two hour ballet class every other day from 1:30 to 3:30…

I also investigated. I WANT to increase my thyroid function. No worries on the listed disorders. I have celiac, and dairy intolerance and allergy, but that's it. I started the rhodiola but no discernible change as yet.

I have been using the Ashwagandha for a few days. No side effects. Feeling slightly more energetic, but I'm not on the full, recommended dose (bottle recommendation) as a precaution. I'll order the Rhodiola and see how that goes. Thanks for the feedback!

I am back at the gym with full workout 3 times a week now, and 4 intense, advanced ballet classes between. Just waiting for the collapse to find the limit...

I had the opposite problem, actually. I was way over on the T3 so my GP had me cut back. I lasted a few weeks only, then reintroduced half of a second dose. Before cutting back, I was on 100mcg twice daily, then cut to 100 once daily. Self-added in 50 at night and after several months, so far, so good. Have upped the…

How long does the Rhodiola energy boost last? Do you also take synthroid or levothyroxin?

Also be aware that even without any complications, a woman's body and cycle can change every 7 to 10 years or so. It's normal. Mine certainly did, well before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism - about every 7-8 years there would be a change of some sort.

This is what I am talking about. I have been in the athlete range so this study fits my situation. I can do my normal level of exercise, but then I crash for a few weeks. It appears to be unsustainable, at this point.
