I monitor it pretty regularly, although I do hate to have to go get checked. I am on 125 mg of synthroid, and I find I really do put on weight still pretty easily. See I am in the bodybuilding/figure world, and compete, so I have to get my weight and bodyfat pretty low. I am a testament that it is possible to do so. However, I do really have to work hard at it. I do have an of season though where my eeight is supposed to go up and i am supposed to put on muscle, but mine skyrockets.
HELP!! I had my thyroid removed in January 2007 due to a multigoiter and since I have had it removed I have been gaining weight despite dieting and exercising. I have never been this weight in my life. I usually weigh 160. I am 5'8" and am solidly built. I did a bodybuilding show in 1999 and now I currently weigh 200. I don't know what to do. My doctor isn't helping at all-seems he doesn't know what to tell me. If anyone can help I would be indebted to you for life!!
Hello, I have been reading varoius posts for sum time now. I was just recently diagnosed with hypothyroid. I'm 28 years old and very active in bodybuilding. My TSH level was at 8.24 I'm not sure if that is really high or not. All I know is I was feeling horrible tired all the TIME, Very cold, puffy eyes, VERY BAD ANXIETY is this normal? as well as loss of hair, yellowish skin, brittle ugly nails. The doctor put me on synthroid .5mg, it has been 5 days.
I figured the best way to beat how I was feeling was to stop everything all together, throw out all my supplements and just let my normal hormonal balance get to its right level and that supplementing was stupid idea as the risks and side effects where allot higher.
I stopped middle of last year thinking that my severe depression and anxiety/ would disappear.
hey was wondering would it be safe and ok to take lamisil with a creatine supplement ? been on lamisil with seven weeks and had some mild dizziness, been taking the creatine with three days and the lamisil, small bit of anxiety is all so far..

The exercise part of bodybuilding is good for your liver, but you might want to think twice about doing a protein-heavy bodybuilder's diet. Too much protein can stress your liver.
You might want to talk to a doctor about what is the appropriate amount of protein intake.
The three important factors in controlling and managing a type 2 diabetic lifestyle are proper nutrition, proper weight and daily physical exercise. One does not reduce their diet, per se, instead makes lifestyle changes so what they should be eating counts.
Use Google to research, understand and apply the Glycemic Index to your lifestyle.
Use Google search on 'diabetic bodybuilding' for other suggestions.
You know, I suggested this as a joke, but I now believe you really are getting paid to advertise websites and You Tube. Good to see you working again!
I just got into weightlifting and bodybuilding. The info on the net is vague about lifting weights causing damage to the eye or Scleral-Buckle or retina by lifting weights. I know in some rare instances weightlifting has caused a retina to become detached. This is not the norm. No one can so far tell me except for eye strain or straining the face and head while lifting, what damage can occur or how this happens. That's what I want to know.
But one has to decide where to place energy and time. Health and keeping fit are wonderful goals, but bodybuilding goes beyond those goals and requires a great amount of time and energy.
after all of my reading, I believe at that time I was in metabolic shutdown and that is why my thyroid failed....I did NOT FIGURE THIS OUT at the time and NEITHER DID MY DR and PRESCRIBED 15MCG OF CYTOMEL TWICE A DAY AND .25MCG OF SYNTHROID...I HAVE NOW BEEN ON BOTH FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. Then...a few months ago, I noticed a fat gain again...so I know an unhealthy decision, but I started taking meltdown (fat burner) twice a day and started two a day workouts to try to shed the fat...
The main question is it possible to gain weight (like follow a high calorie diet and use supplementations like whey protien and creatine..etc) and get into bodybuilding (Not intense) after a Lap.fundoplication...?
Just a simple yes or no answer :). Plus, I will contact a doctor anyway but Im just checking for the possiblity on the net.

What would be the side effects if we take steroids in bodybuilding to increase our body in a few time?
I started bodybuilding almost 1 year ago with improving my nutrition which included protein and vitamins supplementation. My last time working out was shoulders; at the end of the that workout I had a bit of a pain on my neck which was familiar to me because I had similar pain in the same workout before many times but it healed on its own. However, the pain that time was extremely worse when I tried to sleep that day. I woke up having stiff neck and couldn't move my head from side to side.
Hello. I've got these dark patches on my skin: http://imgur.com/PhuVk (the big one to the right of the pic-rib area)
I have another one of the same size just under the armpit(at the joint, not in the arm pit)
These two are about 1.5-2cm in their greatest length and i have no idea when they appeared as being in these areas it was difficult to notice them. I have them for 4 months but probably started around 6 months ago.
I am on Armour and I am one of the ones who didn't benefit from Synthroid - you are very lucky your found Synthroid to work best for you - it is the thyroid drug of choice and many doctors will not continue Armour if you need to change to someone else.
Go back to what works - and the question is still ot there - Why did you try it if Synthroid was working?
