Hi ladies-
Similar problems here - I take 75 mcg of Synthroid - latest TSH was 2.4 - doctor says everything good - not interested in T3 or Armour.

Been biking madly for three months - expending anywhere from 400 to 700 calories 4 or 5 times a week, managing food on myfooddiary.com. Gained 7 pounds in that time (and, my clothes are tighter, it can't all be muscle!)

Went to have my RMR tested today - it is 1110. So, they told me I could reach my weight goal of 140 in OCtober of 2009. .2 pounds a week (I am at 160). Thinking my meds are not adequate given my RMR is sooooo low.

A normal RMR for my age and weight is ~1356.

I can't imagine what my RMR would have been if I had tested it 3 months ago when I was sedentary and only walking 4 times a week.

I made an appt. with an integretive doctor in another town who uses t3 supplementation in hypothyroid people. I love my current doctor and hope to keep her for other stuff- just not thyroid -

SO DEPRESSING!!!!!
