Any of you had a thyroid test or problems with your thryoid?

I am wondering if it is to blame for my inability to lose fat around my midsection. It just doesn't seem to budge. My waist has held steady at 36" for over a year! I have been following a diet like this for awhile now and no results:

Low Carb Isopure -1 scoop
1 cup oats or 2 paks cream of wheat(plain)

1 can tuna
2 slices flax seed bread

1 scoop isopure
1 apple/pear(I added this in recently to try and up my carbs since I can go all week with no carbs and see no fat loss)

2 lean beef paties with no-fat cheese or 1 chicken breast
1/2 cup green beans

filet mignon(3-7 oz)
1 cup green beans
salad with 2 tbsp oil and vinegar dressing,1oz feta cheese and real bacon bits.

sometimes before bed I will have a couple tbsp of laura scudders natty PB.
I drink a gallon of water a day and maybe 1 diet coke.

Any advice? Sound like a thyroid problem or am I just not eating right?

i had a similar problem and had my thyroid tested and nothing wrong with it.

maybe due to low carbs your leptin levels are low and need a good carb up to get them going again.

I do carb up on the weekends.

Get in checked, some simple bloodwork and hey presto. Had mine done years ago and I now have to take 200-225mcg Thyroxine every day and I gotta tell you I feel so much better. Symptoms of Hypothyroid (underactive thyroid) include;
inability to loose weight through a sensible diet,
mood swings,
tiredness,
puffy/sore eyes,
patchy hairloss,
lack of motivation,
libido problems.
Have a look at thyroid.com and see your doc if you suspect anything.
