Thanks everyone...I agree with everything you've said and your insights have made me reconsider my problem. Its not my thyroid slowing me down...I'm simply not eating enough..duhhh! Thinking back I did the same thing years ago when I had the same amount to lose (by then I'd lost several pounds) and called it a stall. In spite of years of knowing it's BS, I'm still brainwashed with the low fat attitude towards losing weight. I remember being told before on the forum that we should eat 10 x our weight in calories. Is that still valid?
