Thanks elisabethd I'll give tracking another try.
as far as the program goes I didnt' say NROL didn't work, I just cant seem to get to the gym as much as it says to everytime. I'm wondering if this is the right program for me anyway. It's not a "fat loss" program. So should I look into a full body routine with cardio. Or a split. How often and how much cardio should there be since it's for fat loss and I'm hypo or does that not matter since i'm well controlled on meds. These are the questions I have. Just not sure what is best for someone like myself.
Thank you.

I hate tracking but I force myself to when I get stalled. You don't have to do it forever, but several days or a week can reveal amazing information about why you are not losing fat. Leigh has great stuff on this board about measuring and getting real about your portions, look around.
On the question of programs--we can talk about all the great programs that really work, or don't, but unless you are willing to commit to a program and do it, it doesn't make any difference.  New Rules is pretty flexible and you can do it as few as 2 times a week, so I liked it a lot. There are lots of good programs, especially around these boards, and all will work, but you need to find one that you will stick to and do it. Or don't. But you can't say something doesn't work unless you actually do it.
