God Damnit - Weight Lose

T - have you thought about getting some basic blood work?

I agree with this. If you are truly eating in excess of 3k calories a day, with your good carbs HIGH - not just "re-introduced" - but HIGH ....and you are not doing cardio, and you are STILL losing weight..... you need bloodwork done ASAP. Obviously whatever conditions you have are NOT under control.

try adding healthy fats, in particular nuts (cashews are a good choice)

I'm 5'6 i struggle to maintain about 125.. usually slip to about 120lbs.. i have a medium frame..

Measurements 34, 25 (sometimes 24), 36

They said my body fat is 16, but im not sure that is right

Just curious, what are your stats?

I do have a thyroid problem - blood work is done monthly.. and im weighted every month as well... there are underlying issues.. but i can't cut off my arm to save my foot..

Treatment for the thyroid will put something else in jeopaordy.. i guess its kind of a double edged sword.. I'm so tired of being an anomoly..???(sp)

Did your doc say there are alternatives to medicine? If the meds will affect something else, maybe natural medicine? I don't think you should leave it untreated though. Maybe get a second opinion and more options first.

Shadow is absolutely right: DO NOT cut out the resistence work.. yikes.

Macro: cashews rule, but raw walnuts are the UBER-nuts re: EFAs, no?


Good luck, CC.
