After listening to this I think I am more confused than EVER!

I have been hypothyroid for 10 years, started out with Graves Disease, took radioactive iodine to kill my thyroid, so I do not have one period. After years of yo-yo-ing with my PCP and 1 medication I did my own research and came across Armour Thyroid. I went to see an endocrinologist and told him to put me on this. That has been about 1.5 years ago. About a month after being on it I felt like a brand new person. I still feel great. I jsut don't get enough sleep. I lost about 10 lsb right off the bat, just by being on Armour. I really didnt start losing weight until October of 08. Since that point I am down about 32 lbs more. With diet and exercise. I have been looking around trying to find the right program for me. I am member of the O2 forum as well. Great people there and good advice.

I am 5' 8" and 213 lbs right now. Goal is 155-160.

I have been reading your posting and finding out about different programs. Kinda doing the NROL4W. Watching what I eat though I don't track takes too much time.

But now I'm not sure about anything. I am not clear on the deficit you spoke about the 5 days down and then 2 up. That almost seems to me like a roller coaster. (not that I doubt you) I'm just not understanding what is supposed to work best for someone like myself. ANd the more info I look up the more confusing it seems to become.

I dont have money to spend so cannot purchase any books or anthing right now. But I am hoping you can clear some of this up for me.
What kind of program will for for a hypothyroid person looking to shed fat.

Thanks in advance for your time.
