It's working. The scale has been stuck, or inching up for the last 3 months. Finally downward movement.
I tried introducing nuts back into my diet the last few days. Seems to have slowed down my digestive tract, if you know what I mean! I'll cut them out again now, and see if that improves.
Just glad the plateau has broken. Longest, most frustrating ever. And my hair loss has stopped, so I think the thyroid function is recovering....all signs point in that direction.
I'll continue to tweak as needed....

This is great news, you've worked through it and it sounds like you have learnt a lot about your body. I was reading something on the internet yesterday about a lack of salt inc potassium and magnesium could slow things down. Someone said she takes milk of magnesia at bedtime. I need to try this as LCHF is naturally low in salt, particularly if there's no commercial foods in the diet.

Fantastic! It feels so good when you finally can put your finger on what makes it work and what doesn't. Keep tweaking, you will get it right soon.

Thanks for all the support! It is good to finally see things moving again. I think the carbs were too low for me, and it was affecting my thyroid. And, I may have been too intense with the exercise. Even though it was only three days a week, it was intense. From what I am reading and learning, if your thyroid has problems already, very low carb, and very intense exercise can cause the thyroid to begin to slow way down. The body adapts beautifully to what it sees as an excess demand on calories, and slows things down. Steady state is just an illusion. Glad I didn't chase it downhill with further cuts in calories. Would have just dug a deeper hole!
