I'm on Synthroid 75mcg. Is that low or high? My doc seems resistant to increasing the dose and to be honest I'm not overly unhappy with the weight loss so far. I spent 3 months last summer doing low fat without losing an ounce, (that's when I learned about the thyroid problem) so I'm good for now. Just don't want to waste another 3 months. Lucky you, Barb, being to eat so many carbs. I was never able to get past 25 - 30 the first time I did low carb, without gaining. Had other life things happening at the time, too. This trip around I'll persevere.
