What I am saying is that when folks find their optimal dose, their

free T3 tends to be towards the top of the range, and sometimes over

in some folks. Labs are only part of the picture, remember. Symptoms

count also, no matter where those labs are. I am not recommending it

directly to anyone, but I am saying that there are folks here who

have a free T3 over the range, and they have no hyper symptoms.

Also, your temperature on a mercury thermometer is telling as to

where your metabolism is. And metabolism helps with weight loss.

Also, optimizing a low testosterone can play a part. Testostorone

builds muscle, and muscles are the main calorie burning parts of

your body!

And again......even Armour at an optimal dose is not necessarily

going to " cause " someone to lose weight. You still have to decrease

calories and exercise--I'm sure you know that. What I DO notice

since I got up to where I am is that I certainly do not GAIN weight

on the same amount of food as I used to. So......when I decide to

decrease my calories and to the exercise I need to do, I feel like

I'll be able to lose weight unlike any time in my entire adult

life...thanks to Armour, and optimizing my others issues.
