[QUOTE="angry polak, post: 83398, member: 16144"] Thanks for the feedback everybody! I agree, for the money it costs to consult with Defy it seems worth it to talk to a professional. One thing I'd like to clarify is my problems aren't only related to fitness. I started working out a bit over 3 years ago. I was probably 200# and 25% body fat. After two years I was around 185# and 17%. The problem is I've hit a wall and been stuck there for the last 12+ months. If I try and bulk, I gain fat. If I try and cut, I lose muscle. This is even with a solid workout routine and a good diet. I watched people in the gym with worse routines, diets, or both make progress I couldn't. Because of that, I decided to get some labs run. In all honesty I thought I might find I had a thyroid problem going in. I feel tired almost daily. If I get a good nights sleep I don't feel rested upon waking. I am achy even when I haven't exercised. I can be moody. I don't have a strong libido. The problem is that I've had those things for as long as I can remember, so I felt "normal". I think it's fair to say that fitness is what spurred me to get labs run, but it's not the only thing I'm experiencing that could be related to my hormone levels. And I think that's the case with a lot of people. They are probably experiencing multiple symptoms, but one particular change is what spurs action...the rest just fall into place as "ah ha's" once the results come back. [/QUOTE]
