It’s always nice how informative and knowledgeable you are with this topic. It never comes off forced and pushy and I love that about you.

I just wanna say, you have been the healthiest role model for me this time around trying to drop some weight as well as just feel better overall. I’ve stuck with it for two months now just listening to some of your tips and how realistic you are when it comes to cheat meals and food cravings. Thank you ❤

This is exactly how I feel. I’m so fatigued all day long, Sometimes taking up to 2 naps a day and NOTHING helps my body lose weight besides basically starving myself. Getting my thyroid checked, thank you for talking about this!

@AmyMacedo 5 ай бұрын

Hope you get some answers!! Get your vitamin D and B levels checked too!

I have a thyroid condition as well. I can relate to this so much. I was diagnosed at 12 year old with Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism, I am now 28. It’s hard to lose weight and keep it off. I’ve been on medication for this since I was 12. Unfortunately, my body just can’t get it together. I take 137MCG. So when you speak about how you know when your levels are off, I feel that in my SOUL! Thank you for your video 🖤🤍

Omg girl I just got my tsh results this week and I’m at 7.4 🤯 my weight has been the EXACT same for a year and I feel so unheard by my doc bc my results kept showing up as “normal”. Your video was super informative and helpful!

@onigutza 5 ай бұрын

And here I was with a TSH of 1.8 thinking my tyroid is perfectly fine 🥺 so many things make sense now... anyway, you're incredibly inspiring Amy, I can't believe you're actually motivating me tremendously in my own weight loss/health journey! Much love ❤

@AmyMacedo 5 ай бұрын

Aw thank you ❤️❤️ anything under 2.5 can be normal but most people find that they feel best when their TSH is under 1 including myself! So if you notice yourself feeling tired then that most likely is why!

Hey Girl. You got this 👍🏼 💪 🙌🏼 Your journey has been inspiring to me and your progress has been consistent. A little cheat meal and enjoying life's moments with family is ok. The bright side is, you are closer to your goal now than you were. Loving all of the tips and thank you again for sharing your instant pot cooking advice. I have the same 9 in 1 instant pot and I have to say the manual on how to use it wasn't clear, and therefore when I make rice I do it the old fashion way on the stove. I toast my rice too to get the nutty flavor from the rice. Keep sharing these vlogs 😊

I’m 23 and just started hrt with Transcend company. I have low thyroid and testosterone. Been a natural athlete my whole life and found myself having issues. I really appreciate Transcend they’re expensive but very proactive. My PCP was not proactive on my hormones and getting me the help I needed.

Giiirl I had a total thyroidectomy in 2019, my levels were over 3 and 4 😢 I had my whole thyroid AND lymph nodes removed due to thyroid cancer. So scary. Now I have gained so much weight and nothing I do helps. Even my meds are high, I take0.175 mg synthroid now…. I’m also severely anemic and have celiac disease

Ya everyone has different number between .38 to 2.5 that they feel best at and I noticed for me it’s when I’m between .38 to 1 so anything above 1 I don’t feel my best!! Definitely talk to her about how you’re feeling ❤️

@MimiAyon1121 5 ай бұрын

I’m pregnant with my first and the weight gain aspect can be difficult. I lost weight and was at my ideal weight for about 6 years so it’s hard seeing the scale go up again. It makes me feel better when you said postpartum weight loss will be a lot easier if you’re already at your goal weight. At least I know I’ve been able to lose 45 pounds before and I can do it again. Overall so excited for motherhood!

Thanks for the information for the TSH level, i’m wondering if your iron levels are good based on you feeling fatigued. I was feeling like trash and soo tired and did bloodwork and my iron was so low 😅

You should look up the connection between thyroid and low iodine

@AmyMacedo 5 ай бұрын

I’ve heard of this! I was previously taking a supplement with iodine but didn’t notice that it helped. Maybe I need one that’s just iodine alone.

@megselv-eh2je 5 ай бұрын

After being in a calorie deficit for a prolonged time, do you ever feel like your body gets used to it and that the weight loss stops?

@AmyMacedo 5 ай бұрын

The weight loss does tend to stall. It’s not recommended to be in a deficit for more than 10-12 weeks for women because it can affect our hormones. I usually do a refeed week every 12 weeks. I’ll share this in upcoming episodes 🙌🏼

I totally think is worth it get to you goal weight before the next pregnancy, then when you get pregnant your going to feel better and you can make adjustment to only gain the baby weight ...if it's only baby weight those pounds come off easily..

Maybe not use the term "cheat meal" and see if your mindset is any different. Jordan Syatt is a great resource too...he's on youtube as well.

I love Jordan Syatt! 🙌🏼 honestly the term doesn’t bother me much. No matter what you call it is, it is what it is. I think it’ll be different for everyone though some people prefer not to! “Refeed meal” is a good alternative.
