[QUOTE="shltn, post: 112094, member: 17383"] I am really hoping someone here can help guide me and I'll try to keep it brief. Background: I had an infection that lead to a dramatic increase in my RT3 so I had to clear it. Over the course of the approximate year of not knowing what my issues were I started slacking off at the gym (due to my hypothyroid symptoms and generally not feeling well) and also put on about 40lbs. Prior to being ill I was doing some form of exercise 7 days a week and was sitting about 180lbs and I'm guessing in the 6-8% BF range (never actually checked because I was happy with where I was). Now I have cleared my RT3 and I tapered off my T3 medication two weeks ago. Over the course of the 13 weeks I was on T3 only meds I dropped about 25ish pounds and now I appear to be stuck at about 192lbs and have been for somewhere around 3 weeks. I will lose/gain 0.5-1lb back and forth of course. My current routine is about 60-90 minutes at the gym every day; 40-50 being cardio and the remainder is weight training. I also walk with my wife every evening (weather permitting) for about 60-75 minutes or until we hit 4 miles around our neighborhood. All-in-all I think I am burning in the vicinity of 1200-1800 calories every day via exercise alone. My diet is somewhat sporadic but most days I am eating around 1800-2400 calories a day - with the exception of our cheat meal once a week. So shouldn't I easily be losing my target of 2lbs a week? What am I missing? [/QUOTE]
