NO offense but you are REALLY off base here.....
In fact.....Im not sure those recommendations are even on the playing field.
She has an overactive (HYPER) thyriod...it has NOTHING to do with weight training....at all.
Hyperthyroidism, especially when it's severe or has gone untreated for a long time, causes wasting of muscle tissue, and this muscle is rebuilt when thyroid levels are normalized.
^^^^so it seems to me that protection of her current LBM is imperative....
How does one protect LBM??
TRAINING
So you are suggesting that she STOPS the ONE thing that will preserve her lean body mass.
...does that really make sense?

I agree with this. If you are truly eating in excess of 3k calories a day, with your good carbs HIGH - not just "re-introduced" - but HIGH ....and you are not doing cardio, and you are STILL losing weight..... you need bloodwork done ASAP. Obviously whatever conditions you have are NOT under control.

try adding healthy fats, in particular nuts (cashews are a good choice)

I do have a thyroid problem - blood work is done monthly.. and im weighted every month as well... there are underlying issues.. but i can't cut off my arm to save my foot..
Treatment for the thyroid will put something else in jeopaordy.. i guess its kind of a double edged sword.. I'm so tired of being an anomoly..???(sp)

Did your doc say there are alternatives to medicine? If the meds will affect something else, maybe natural medicine? I don't think you should leave it untreated though. Maybe get a second opinion and more options first.

A lot of my pics have MY abs at 15-17% too ...... flabby abs, that is what I have. 
I still maintain everyone looks different at different BF, esp abs. It can all depend on your genetics and fat distribution.

CC - didn't you go on a cycle a while back? I remeber you mentioned that you were trying Clen - did you also take T3 with your Clen cycle?
Whao.. CC you still having this problem?
Medical wise ... what has your doctor recommened you do? Are you on any thyroid medications?

I took var in october and i took clen for about 7 days..but could deal with the weight lose on that either..
I'm hesitant to really take anything right now due to prespription medication - don't want any interferance.. more interested in eating foods that are easy to eat lotsa calories but won't take a whole day to consume.. not sure if that makes sense..
I have 3 things going onin my body right now - we have opted to treat 2 & 3, because they are interfering with my every day life
1. Thyroid
2. Insomnia since i was a child
3. something i would rather not discuss..
But combine they all suk ASS!!!!!!

I remember you did a cycle of var and gained some weight. I just wanted to be sure you didn't mess around with t3 during your clen cycle.
sorry you're having health problems.
having read this thread it seems like a weird problem to have, esp when you list the other things going on in your body. it's hard to give any advice without all the facts, but then if it's personal it's noone else's business and they can only advise so far.
one of the best weight gainers i've used is Chemical Nutrition's Pro Mass. Nail 2 shakes a day. rest enough or as much as possible. hope you get better

you would probably benefit from a var cycle and you might actually be able to get your doc to prescribe it and get it paid by insurance (assuming the PDR is same in canada as in USA) since its indicated for "....inability to gain or maintain weight, even in the absense of pathophysiological condiotion..." or words to that effect. its actually prescribed for aids patients and cancer/cachexia patients to put on weight.
as u already know its very mild, and unless your other issues are hormonal it prob wont interfere with other treatments, but SINCE YOU"RE UNDER TREATMENT, ONLY DO WITH DOCS OK. you may have to educate doc on the above indication for var. dont be afraid to doctor shop.

CC, wish I could help, but I don't know since there are other factors. Make sure you keep going to the doc, maybe second and third opinions too. I will wish you the best of luck though and know we'll be here to support you!!!!
