Question for you all! Do you know what test would be labeled as "T3 uptake "? I'm guessing it is my T3 levels in general. I was 1 point below the lowest point in the "normal" range on my last test. I go in next Tuesday for blood work as my endo noticed that and put up a red flag so to speak. I am on armor and had half of…

Not sure what has caused it. I am on armour so I have T3 and T4 support. My dad had thyroid issues and I have heard it is hereditary. My levels have been normal with my meds. I will have a physical in a couple weeks so I will see if they are still stable. I also have a goiter with non cancerous nodules.

Very true! A while back I was following a program and only lost 5lbs but lost a lot of inches. I am definitely ok with that! I am definitely more focused than in the past thanks to leaving an unhealthy relationship so I think everything will start to move soon assuming my levels are adequate!

I have a physical with my PCP in about 2 weeks. I will probably speak with him and request more than TSH be tested. I have a goiter and I have felt it in my throat a lot lately so I wonder if something is off. I have been feeling fine but the weight doesn't budge sometimes.

Thanks! The Labrada program is a transformation program and requires heavy lifting. Sorry for the confusion. I'm only hypo. No hashi or autoimmune.

Is there a site for carb cycling to get a calorie estimate? I am following a program on bodybuilding.com which is lifting and some HIIT. Weight loss has been an issue for me since I've been diagnosed. I'm hoping being disciplined with lifting and food will help. I'm not so focused on a #as I am focused on looking better…

I have a Fitbit charge HR and so far a really like it!! I got an idea for my TDEE and have it as sedentary so I will eat back my exercise calories (or try to). I also have the calorie plan for zigzagging so I'm going to try it again! Thank you so much for all your input and information!

Has anyone or is anyone currently eating the calories suggested from the about.com article? I am tempted to try but it makes me nervous!

Is there a site that you use to get your calories for the carb cycling? I did zig zagging a while back(basically the same thing) and it seemed to work well while I was focused. I think I may try it again!

I'm 6'0"-6'1", newly single after a relationship that was 5+ years long AND I'm almost 30! Call me crazy but I'm pretty excited about all of it!! I'm hypothyroid and REALLY staying focused on working out! I lift 4-5x/week and play volleyball and basketball 2 days a week! I'm excited to focus on myself and work toward the…

Hi all! I am hypo non hashi as well! I was diagnosed about 5-6 years ago but was symptomatic well before! I am almost 30 and newly single after a 5+ year relationship! I am focused and want to look better for myself and I'm excited to see who I meet! I also have had trouble losing weight which my naturopath told me is…

Ok got ya! Definitely makes sense, I just was not sure! I wish it was itemized on MFP like it is my dashboard! Thank you!!

I have the Charge HR and I have linked my Fitbit to MFP. Tonight I played a basketball game and put it in "exercise mode" if you will then stopped it when I was done. Per my Fitbit app I exercised for 56 minutes and burned 856 calories. My question is, do these 856 calories get included in the "Fitbit calorie adjustment "…

ELEANOR43da- I totally feel you! I found some very interesting and helpful things while I was browsing info. I did a little post about it here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1049437-more-than-a-tsh-test?page=1#posts-16113556

Oh, and my diet is usually pretty good. Recently it hasn't been that great but it is generally good

I am emailing my Dr. Today to suggest a T3 and T4 test and/or suppliments to work with my hormone that I'm taking right now. I'm tired of feeling "blah" and being so tired!! It's so not me!

So far I have only had tsh tested as far as I know. I HATE being cold and I am cold more than my friends are but since it's summer it's been better. I have been feeling kind of depressed at times. Not super deprssed but definitely a "blah" feeling which is SO not like me!

I have a goiter, that is how I found out I have hypothyroidism. Mine has gotten a lot smaller with my meds but it isn't completely gone, Probably because I have nodules on my thyroid.

Hi all! My name is Kayli and I was diagnosed w/ Hypothyroidism around 3 years ago. I am on 75 mcg of levothyroxine. I have been having trouble with losing weight but for the last few months I think it's been mostly MY fault. I need to be more focused on eating better and get my head in the game with working out. I would…

Hey everyone! I have hypothyroidism as well! I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and I am on 75mcg of Levothyroxine. If anybody would like to add me, I would LOVE to have people supporting me and that I can support that are going through the same thing as me! Also, if anyone has had success I'd like to know!! :smile:

If people want to do Labrada I'll totally do a group! I love having people to check in with and "workout buddies!"

Totally makes sense! On my low carb days I usually have 2 "starchy carbs" which are a bread or brown rice maybe, the rest of my carbs come from veggies, Greek yogurt, almonds, etc. I haven't felt lethargic or anything that I notice due to lack of carbs and I usually try to have my carbs after I workout so I get fueled!…

It's a low day. For example, today I had some organic 9 grain bread for toast w/ my eggs 12g carb and post workout I'm going to have 2 rice cakes for 14g carb total so 28g carbs. The other foods on my list for the day include veggies (broccoli, cherry tomatoes, carrots, green beans etc.) then some of the fats she…

^^^^^^^^^Edit^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for some reason it wouldn't let me edit! Anyway, only 24 grams are from "starchy carbs" 2 pieces of organic bread. The rest are from veggies, almonds, some fruit etc.

I'm with you on this! Sometimes I am just so crunched of time or just start getting "over it" when I am there for so long! I was okay today but I did have to change some things. There's a "triple set" with leg extensions, the side to side jumps, and smith machine squats but there was 2 issues. 1) the smith machine is in a…

CONGRATS!! I am going to do Lee Labrada next too!! I have 2 more weeks after this one! :smile:

I actually think I might give this one a try! http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/the-bizzy-diet.html I think I'll be able to shed some fat in the 3 weeks and then maybe do LiveFit again to build some more muscle!

awesome!! I looked ahead and those weeks look fun! I hope the 2 weeks before go by fast! lol

Thanks ladies! I did the 2 sets with 1 to failure!

I had a little set back today but it definitely won't ruin anything! I couldn't go to the gym cause I got the flu but I feel like a human again! I should have known something was weird when I had zero appetite AFTER I worked out! I started fading fast at work and came home. I have pretty much slept all day! I was able to…
