Need help, kinda down

OK, ever since I have been working a desk job (about 4 years), I have slowly gained back about 10-15 lbs. Before that I was a waitress, zooming all over the place, eating pretty much anything I wanted, and had tons of energy.

About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid, and have been increased to 100 mcg of Synthroid. I am convinced it is not enough, as I cannot lose any weight without pretty much starving myself and I am still always tired.

I need advice, my new doc say I am overly sensitive and being that my levels are at the high end of normal, he will not increase my dosage.

I work till 7 everyday, and getting up earlier to go to the gym is not an option.....I really try to hit the gym at LEAST twice a week, and that's b/c my schedule at work stinks!!!

I know I have to really adjust my eating and gym visits, but does anyone have a similar problem?

It is very frustrating because I don't eat crap (all that much), no soda, junk food, candy. I drink only water and maintain a relatively healthy lifestyle. I would like to be in the best shape ever before I get preggo, cuz I know I will be huge otherwise.

Sorry to rant, just very down about the whole thing. Scale IS NOT MOVING AT ALL!!!!

what about cutting back on carbs? it's the only thing that works for me- not atkins- just no carbs after 3pm

and can you work out on the weekend- that would give you 4 days- which is perfect

What time do you get home from work and leave for work? I only work out 1/2 hour each day, maybe 45 minutes. Can you get a 1/2 hour at he gym 3-4 days each week?

What exactly do you eat everyday? how often do you eat?

Don't get down on yourself. You just need to find time for yourself.

I work 10-7 everyday, so I try to go to the gym after work.....I leave my house at 9AM.

It is possible to get to the gym 3-4 days a week, I sometimes just get caught off time, and then my schedule gets all messed up.

I used to eat either toast or cereal for breakfast, sometimes and egg, eithera salad or sandwich for lunch, someitmes I am bad and have Chinese or Portuguese food for lunch, but if I do, I usually don't eat dinner. Dinner was usually sushi, or leftovers, but usually around 9PM.

Now I have been having a protein shake for breakfast, a salad with chicken and a Power Bar or tuna on rye for lunch, sometimes sushi, and either a WW dinner or sushi for dinner.

I have been tring to cut our in between snacks, like pretzels, and sometimes I have an orange in between.

I just don't know if it's truly my thyroid os myself.....I was thinking about going to a nutritionist....
