Actually, the math does not make sense to me. I carry around more than 100 pounds of extra fuel, so it doesn't seem like it is impossible to feed my muscles while existing at a calorie deficit. Essentially what it SEEMS like people are saying is that you can only build muscle OR lose weight, but not both. I am Norwegian. I…

I love my natural strength and plan on working hard to increase it.

I am much bigger than you and I run using the C25K program as well. Tips - make sure your shoes support running. Don't pick your knees up super high, don't pick your feet up super high either. You don't need to look like a champion runner with all limbs stretching in every direction to get the benefits of running. Also, if…

I gained like... 4 pounds over the last week! Could that all be muscle or water retention or... something else from weight training?

I needed these today. ;)

I feel like there is a consensus - people on synthetic thyroid medicine have to eat a lot less than "normal" people. I wonder if the old 3500 calorie deficit formula just doesn't apply to us. I lost about 25 pounds right away and have been hovering at the weight I am at right now for about 2 weeks. I had increased my…

I would say find a new doctor. For whatever reason, some doctors like to keep us hypo.

You look wonderful!

Thank you everyone!!! :smiley:

Is it common for people with no thyroid to have low Vitamin D levels? Mine are abysmally low, and I am the whitest person at 7000 feet - you would think I would get it from the UV rays alone.

I know what you mean!!! I have one chance to exercise today - while the baby I am watching is taking a nap. So off I go... grrrr....

Yay! This morning I am grumpy. Looking at the treadmill and thinking... I hate you treadmill. :\

I switched to taking my levothyroxine at night because I can't wake up and then wait 2 hours to eat, it just never happens. Instead I take it a few hours after I last eat at night. I know that's "wrong" but I feel like it works better.

I think I am supposed to get my levels checked every 6 months, but I haven't had them checked in a year or so. I kind of suck at things like going to the doctor.

Thank you! I should call the dr. and get my blood work done ASAP.

You never take any days off. I don't know but that sounds like a lot to put your body through. Maybe you need a little rest so your body can do its thing. I'm new to all of this, though. So I could be wrong. I've just heard our bodies need rest days.

I just started. I am learning the ropes. I wanted to start my own topic post but have no idea how to. Anyways, hello all. :laugh:
