It's about time you posted some meals there NG ;)

Sara, just email them to me :)

Latest news on my thyroid..........as suspected, I've gone from Hyper to Hypo. My tsh went from 0.10 to 35.36. Talk about a huge change. Ughh.....I meet the doc in 1 hour to find out the next step. I can't lose a single ounce of weight. I'm doing light cardio daily, lifting 4x per week and only eating about 500 cals a day and this is to maintain my plump weight of 138 pounds :cry: :bawling:

Arggg... 0.1 to 35??!! Ouch. Have you stopped the drugs?? (yes, I know, stupid question)...

What did the doctor say?

I would REALLY think about not trying to lose weight at this stage - just focus on getting your hormones back on track first.. You don't want to be slowing things down further eating nothing and jacking up the cardio. All you will do is further supress your thyroid and jack up your ACTH meaning your cortisol will sky rocket and you will get further issues.

You also still need nutrients from foods! Would you at least try to get ~100g of carbs + 1.5g protein/lean mass + 6g fish oils? Would that be too much? And make sure you get LOTS of healthy stuff too - you need the vitamins/minerals and other nutrients from the food... I would think that it would only be ~1300 cals (100 carbs, ~180g protein? and ~26g fats) and at least that way you are out of ketosis, your muscles are happy and your body is (somewhat) healthy?

I know you don't need me to tell you that stuff (sorry for sticking my nose in...) because you know what you are doing (and you know how your body reacts) but I am really worried about you eating soo little when you are so busy and active! :( )....

Look after yourself ok....
 
Yeah, I attempted the healthy moderate calorie approach and all that happened is that I got a big fat ass. I agree that my calorie approach wasn't the best but when you have to look at yourself in the mirror and want to puke you do what you do. That and I have ZERO clothes that fit me. Good thing I am WFH now because I don't think they would like me coming to work in gym pants everyday.

I am off the medicine once I heard about my new blood work. Doc told me that's what he was going to tell me to do today anyway. He wants to give it 2 weeks to see if my thyroid levels out and get more blood work. He told me to up my cals to 800. I said fine but no more than that and he agreed with the light cardio (65% HR) and lifting 4x per week to maintain. He doesn't want to throw all sorts of drugs at me and I don't want him to so giving the 2 weeks, IMO, was a great idea. Hell, I'm already fat, I'm not getting fatter, so at this point waiting 2 weeks is fine with me. I'm not very active these days. I wake my fat ass up, crawl out of bed and sit in front of my laptop and work for 8 hours. Then I drag myself to the gym, workout for 1 hour and then go home and plunk my ass in my recliner to nap before I go to bed :rolleyes: Hardly active :( I have no energy and the only activities are the gym and that's forcing it, so 500 cals to sit on my ass for 15 hours out of a day isn't that bad. Tomorrow starts the 800 cals though.

I know 800 cals isn't much but when you look at a stalk of broccoli and put a pound, you know your metabolism is fucked!

OMG!!! I'm terribly sorry to hear the bad news Jodi :(
You will be in my prayers sweetie :kiss:
 
Jodi, I'm so sorry you're going through this :( Do you have any idea how this happened? I hope it stabilizes and things work out.. :heartpump
 
Thanks Sara & Jenny. :) I've dealt with thyroid issues a few times in the past, so this isn't anything that can be avoided per say. It just happens when you are born with a bum thyroid I guess :shrug:

This journal was properly titled because I don't think I've done much else besides BITCH in it.
 
That sucks Jodi. :( Hopefully everything will rebound quickly

Awww man Jodi. Sorry to hear that. I was just wondering where've you been too. Well, you'll get it taken care of and you'll be in my prayers. Your such a strong lady Jodi, I have a lot of respect and admiration for you. Hang in there!
 
Thanks guys. ;)

138 is more than plump when you are only 5'1" :hair:
 
Just been catching up with your journal Jodi, I was shocked to hear about your thyroid problems, I can't even imagine trying to survive on 800 cals a day and though I want to say don't worry about esthetics right now that would be retarded... you're a woman! ;)
Stay strong girlie and keep your chin up, I'm routing for ya.

Only if she's 5'3" " -Sir Mix A Lot :grin:

Sorry to hear about the bum thyroid.. Can they just take it out? Or do you need it? (just wondering of something like synthyroid of cytomel could replace it?)
 
No, it's just that we are hardest on ourselves and how we perceive ourselves unfortunately :( I'm out of my comfort weight zone. I don't mind being in the 120's even though I'd like lower, I'm comfortable with it. But being in the high 130's is way out of my comfort weight zone so panic has set in.

I was with my friends tonight who haven't seen me in a month and they didn't even notice the difference. One of my girlfriends said, "I thought you said you gained a ton of weight, where is it?" My family didn't even notice it but I notice it, and fitting in my clothes is impossible so it's all how I feel about myself. It's comforting to know that I don't look as fat as I feel, I guess. I use to be really over weight so fear has set in and I'm in panic mode. I guess I'm not fat, but I feel fatter than I look. Does that even make sense? :scratch:

Thanks Kerry, being a girl sucks ass sometimes LOL :grumble: I actually went over my 800 cals today. I went out with friends. I had 1/2 beer a piece of chicken and a bunch or tortilla chips. Not too bad of damage but it certainly took me over the 800 cal limit today. :grin:

Jake, I need my thryoid lest I be on synthroid or some other form of T4 the rest of my life and I don't want that. The doc wants to wait a few weeks before putting me on anything to stimulate T3/T4 production because I just came off of a medicine for hyper. So going on synthroid right now might just put me back in to a hyperthyroid mode and he wants to avoid that. He's hoping that the past few weeks of tapazole took me out of hyper mode (which it did) and now that it put me in hypo mode he thinks that it should start to level out. Also, he said that there are other options besides sythentic hormones if needbe that he would like to try first. I guess there is a natural hormone that is by prescription only that he would like to try first called Armor something or other. It's a lighter and safer form to stimulate thyroid production. I like the sounds of that option before turning to synthetic as well.

That makes a lot of sense Jodi! When I lost 20+ pounds last year I felt great.. Now when I gain like 5 pounds I FEEL like I'm back to my old weight and feel gross and nasty! It really is all in our heads.. Even a slight increase and BAM we think we're back to where we started.
I know it must be hard Jodi, but stick through it. Don't feel guilt or shame, this is beyond your control. Hopefully you won't have to get on all those meds. You seem to have a great doctor who really understands your situation, that's always a relief :)
Your in my thoughts sweety :heart:
 
I know Jodi, and yes, you make perfect sense, we are always harder on ourselves. if you cannot fit into your clothes you KNOW something is going on, even if no one else sees it, plus being uncomfortable in your own skin is not a fun feeling:) hopefully things will straighten out for you, good luck ;)
 
Happy B-Day WILD! :banana:

HAPPY BELATED B'DAY!! :D

And I'm with you - fully aware of my suckiness (but still sucking anyway)
I've stopped eating crap for a few weeks now. It's only b/c I've run out of crap to eat. I've had it all. Sugar? Done that. Salty Snacks? Done those. Ice cream....did that for dinner most nights in April. Even the really bad stuff loses it's appeal when you eat it enough. :no: So I'm eating pretty darn clean.

Gym? What Gym? I never go. Never. :(

I have a disgusting habit of saying "I'll go Monday" every week. When Monday rolls around I remember that Monday nights are the worst nights to go since it's so crowded. Then on Tuesday I tell myself I've already blown it for the week. Ridiculous - I know.

Maybe I'll go Monday :bulb:
