Built, thanks for pointing this out, now i know what a thyroid is and what it does for my body . I didn't knew about it before but after a google search and reading about it i finally understood. I'm gonna keep doing my ATKINS for now but i might change it for NHE later cos i think that's the best diet for weight training and cardio work. I haven't started my weight training yet but i did went on a 1 mile walk this morning, could have been running but i got so tired after the first 2 min that i decided to slow down and just walk. I thank all of you for your support: built, liftnlady,lisa N, jagbender, misscollie1 (and all others that i might forget, you know who u are for it has made me wanna do this even more
