Yeah I am sorry, was kinda rambling with no end, but don't do to many of these forum type things. That is great that you have my data still, so basically going from that point, back then was already on thyroid meds and already had lost period, and was already starting to gain some body fat, but running like a crazy women. So anyway for the past 8-9 months I would say, I have yo-yoed between 700-1200 calories, usually very low to no carbs--kept blaming everything I did on my thyroid, which I realize now--I was so wrong. I was working out 3days a week heavy weights and cardio 4-5 days a week with 1-2 days of intense interval training. Mind you this is all on 700-1200 calories. Which I realize now that even at 1200cals I was in a big deficiet based on my exercise, I did about 4 months ago, try and up my calories to about 1200 with more carbs and gained about 6pounds in a months time, so went back to high protien. Mind you this is with all the exercise, Now I will say that I have stopped running about 5months ago, so all cardio was done on different machines or spin classes. So that is kinda where I have been for the past 8months or so? Does that help a little in figuring if I started to high of calories or not--I am pretty much following the book to a T--just did the formulax1.2-25% and have been adjusting since that, still no exercise, etc

Still on thyroid meds, on Armour 2grains now, on vitamins, very high B's and C's, on adrenal support, and sleeping pill

I guess my questions is did I start to high, based on the fact that I should have gone by the formula or should I have gone with the numbers from the metabolic test that I had done?

As far as fats being off, I mean we are talking like 6-8% nothing way out there? But my question is could my fat storage be based on my digestive system and my other disorders not being on track yet, like my menstrual cycle, etc, or is it just the fact that I have been eating in such a deficeint for so long and my body is adjusting to the higher calories? I am guessing it will eventually stablize? Or do you think that until my hormones are back on track? I did the quiz and I had more B's which is not too bad, but with all my problems I would have guessed I was more a C

I should continue on right, and move into week 5 and start exercising and up calories to the 15% even though I most likely will gain some more weight or maybe not--?? I guess it is a chance I have to take right? Will my appetite increase eventually, I am guessing this will show signs of getting better,

I think it is a great sign that my thyroid levels are finally within range, my hair is not breaking or falling out as much, my nails are not so brittle, I am just so tired of being Tired!!

With the digestive issues and having food sensitivies now, are there any food suggestions you could give that will help? Just have to stay away from gluten and diary mainly, oh and alot of nuts(peanuts, almonds) should I eat more clean--the problem is that means alot more food, right?

Let me say I don't really mind as much as I thought I would putting on some weight I thought I would really have a problem with it, but the truth is I just want to get back to normal and feel better, and start all over--The Right Way!! Do you think all of these issues can be reversed!! If you say "Yes" I could kiss you!!! I just wonder or if you could tell me if I am gaining body fat vs water weight vs staying the same because of my body still malfunctioning if this is the case it is ok, we just have to fix it!!

Thanks I hope I make more sense--if you need any more Data, Trust me I have alot to say!! I have been thru alot, maybe not as much as more Zoey, wow, but I think and I hope I caught it just in time, Thanks Dessie
