I too was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 2 years ago. I had the exact same thoughts...this is NOT me. I cried constantly because I had no control. I have since had a TT and switched to Armour (my life saver!). Once you get those meds right your mind will follow...and then your body. Make sure your Dr. is running a reverse T3…

Thanks! The closest I have found is that a hypo individual is potentially working with a 20-40% decrease in metabolism. That's a large range but at least confirms that it's a decrease. I do not believe that 'in range' people with no thyroid can function the same on a normal TDEE. Since medicine is now the means of…

Back to the original topic for a moment, does anyone have any research/knowledge on an adjusted TDEE for someone with no thyroid and/or hypo that is in 'normal' range?

I am very interested in this too. I've followed Dan for awhile and while I agree that his formula makes 100% sense for a functioning metabolism, it doesn't take into account hypothyroidism. I had mine removed a year ago and initially lost 20 lbs but stalled for months and now I'm on a slow gain. This is at varying caloric…

Road biking. 18 miles @ 18 MPH is roughly 800 calories

1. Good snug fitting sport bra 2. Band aids and/or 3. Body glide Body glide works wonders everywhere. I even use it on my feet to prevent blisters ( I run sockless)

One other thing to consider...as if we aren't overloaded with info already while losing weight :)....Vitamin Water also contains a good deal of vitamins. If you take a multi vitamin daily and you drink 2-3 of these, you might be over loading yourself. I have blood work done every 4-6 wks for thyroid issues and they test…

Yes, I am happy to be at .65! I feel great right now and have been right under 1.0 for about 3 mths. It's just the slow slow slow weight loss, lol.

oops! I think I fixed it, but I love your man returning home hug!!

OhKelsey1 - your side by side---great transformation!

Yes, I agree, it's all a pain in the rear! lol How has your blood work been? 88 seems like a low dose for no thyroid, but if you were hyper I can see them keeping you low for sure. Glad you are feeling better. That's what it's all about. :) When do you weigh in? We will be cheering for you!!

Are you checking your T3 and reverse t3?

My last TSH was .65 T3 was 2.6 and T4 was .8 ----levels are pretty decent. My endo talked to me about how it takes the body awhile to adjust to using medicine instead of being able to adjust itself like a functioning thyroid. I knew the loss would be slow and I'm ok with it for the most part---just get a tad frustrated. :)…

I have noticed less changes than I originally anticipated, but there are some. The medicine/levels being right has been the biggest milestone--once they leveled out, I was feeling generally good again. Weight loss has been my issue however. It's much slower than before for sure!! :)

Well what is it?! lol

@sarahlucydayn something in the medical field

scratch that---something in the financial industry

@GaglianiGirl nurse or realtor?

@MireyGal76, I would stab someone in the eyeball for your abs!

I use my extra as a safety net essentially. When I am training (I do races and triathlons), my body needs extra essentials..protein, carbs, calories to recover and stay injury free. If I stick only to my 1200 calorie goal and burn 600-1200 calories a day, my body will not recover quickly and it will impair my training the…

Use Selsun Blue blue. Rub on your spots and leave to dry for about 10 min then shower. Usually takes a week of this treatment. I have the SAME THING!

Yes, that means they are trying to keep it safe. However, bike seats aren't anything compared to what a thief could get for a $3-10K bike!! I agree with the pp, for a duathlon, you typically run-bike-run. Bike first then load your bike and take off on your run. :)

you like to act but you are funny

pretty pic!

Thanks! Years in the making ;)

the past 2 people have great losses!

Love all the colors! Beautiful pic1

Not to be the medicine police, but I am on a couple of thyroid boards where thyroxine takers have this same problem consistently.

I have no thyroid. I was on Synthroid and gained gained gained no matter what I did. I switched to Armour. My t3 was not being converted. Have you checked your Free T3 lately?

I'm always interested to hear what her motivation was for you! I was changed when I was introduced to cross training...adding swimming and biking made me see new open doors!
