Aoife - Thanks for the response. I guess I am still getting over the whole number on the scale thing. As Mandos
suggested I am putting the scale away for a while (not in the trash though, that thing is expensive!). I don't think I am too far off from what I need to be doing but I guess I wanted some reassurance of my changes.

In short I would recommend keeping the training less intense and keeping the calories lower and working as much off of low grade activity deficits as much as possible to work with the system that you have rather than against it.

Leigh P. - I went through the radioactive iodine treatment when I first diagnosed and finally got my thyroid meds (Synthroid) to a level my doctor and I feel has me functioning normal. Are you saying that HIIT or NROL4W is too intense? I am really enjoying this program and would hate to think is has been counterproductive.
