Hi Girls
My husband found you - likes chasing lady cyclists keeps him motivated!
Anyway I've hit a brick wall with my Dr. I am hypothyroid but unless, I'm biking 5-6 days per week for 1-1.5 hours of Mtn/trail riding I just can't seem to loose weight. I'm 48 and my body is having a hard time sustaining that activity level. My Dr. says your in the "normal TSH range" and so it couldn't be my thyroid. just for record I don't believe him cause too many other symptons - like fatigue I'm dealing with.
My eating is really pretty good and fairly focused, not perfect, but not so bad that if I dont ride I put on 1-2 lbs per week. Last year 40 lbs (2 surgeries slowed me down)
Any others out there suffering from thyroid, Dr. who won't increase synthyroid with some suggestions, cause cycling May-October is all the winter will allow for me and I'd really like to hit 4 days per week. So I can golf and Kayak too.
thx:
