Thyroid Problem???

[Big Daddy]

Well I feel like I'm really stalled badly here now. Jesper I've talked to you about this but I'm really getting frustrated with it now. I've been reading that some people suffer from a sluggish thyroid. So I started checking my temperature. The highest temp I got was 36.3 and that was after my workout this morning. So could this be causing me to stall or is it something more simple. I've tried eliminating dairy and nuts, I've increased calories a few times now, and I've tried many, many supplements... :mad:

I'm sure over the past few weeks I've had a calorie deficit of at least 1000 a day. Now just on this alone I would have thought my weight would drop. I mean theory would state with that much of a deficit you should lose weight, but its actually gone up, i think!

I just would like to know if anyone has any suggestions and/or experience? I'm currently weight training 5x a week and doing 60minutes of cardio 5x-6x a week.:mad: :mad: :mad:

Big Daddy, I have no idea how to help you with this. I am sorry that you are having so much trouble. I am sure that with all of the lovely people here that we will be able to figure out what is going on and fix it!!

You still taking Durathon?, try cutting it or all your supps for a week you never know...
It could be that or another not agreeing with you. It might not help one bit though but it seemed to help me...

At first instance, I suggest you go to a GP. If you suspect you have a medical condition, then find out so that you can eliminate it from your list of possibilities or get treatment.

Also, note that too much exercise can slow down fat loss. If you go from no activity to strenuous activity, the body will sometimes hang onto fat as a defence mechanism.

Are you measuring % fat as well as weight? You could be putting on water or muscle, or both (depending on the strictness of your diet) whilst losing fat.

Some final tips, which sounds trite but worked wonders for me. Make sure you do two things:
1. Drink water (I drink about 3 litres a day on average)
2. Get adequate sleep. I was stalled for a week, until I started making sure I slept at least 7 hours a night (I was previously sleeping 5 hours a night). It broke my stall!

Good luck, we've all stalled at one point or another.

I doubt very much you have thyroid problems :)!

For you who don't know, BigDaddy is a young attractive guy around 15% bodyfat (OOPS... shouldn't have said that, now you will get lots of private messages from the ladies....). At this level certain metabolic trickery must be used to make the body continue to lose fat fat. I will try to call you later today to discuss.
