~Hello all!~
I have an (what I think is) unusual circumstance. I am so confused, and frustrated, as I am sure most of you can relate to.
I am currently trying Induction by Atkins..I am going through the terrible headaches, etc.........but that is not my question....
My question is this: What works for those of us that have had our thyroids' removed, are currently taking meds, (Unithyroid 175 mcg) and run 25 miles a week? I have tried it all, and this is what I have tried:
Upping running to 30 miles, (gained weight - 'bout 5-6 lbs.)
Downed running cut calories to 1200 - (gained weight)
Upped calories, stayed running (gained weight)
Trying desperately to achieve weight loss by Atkins. I also take a large amount of Lasix 80mg for water retention and HBPressure.
I take RX of potassium, calcuim, and Avalide for blood pressure.
Doc's don't have answers....
I don't have answers....
I want to loose 10 lbs, as I do weight lifting as well so some of my weight includes muscle, but (you should really see my tummy! I'm ashamed
Any ideas, or suggestion would be so helpful.....I use Fitday (obsessively of course to chart every blessed morsal that goes in my mouth, and I am sticking to the 20 carbs sceniro.
Thanks all! And even if no one responds, I am glad I wrote this down as it makes me feel better to write about it......
