I recently had my thyroid taken out and now i am gaining weight. Which isnt such a bad thing, I weighed 93 lbs before. I like having more meat on me but I don't want to much. What kind of excerises can I do to keep that from happening? Do I need to eat very little food? Any good suggestions? Please help.

Full sit ups? or the tummy crunches?

You should ask the doctor who diagnosed you for advice and medicine to control your weight. I'm sure you have... but he shoulda told you already to do cardio and what to eat and such, or else he's a crappy doctor.
Anyway.. so as far as exercise goes: do cardio! Cardio is exercise to get your heart rate up (running, jogging, biking, kickbox cardio, step, tennis, etc.). It is the only way to burn fat. Do 15-30 mins a day for 3-5 days a week.
**************LET ME EMPHASIZE THIS: Some people above said to do crunches/situps to keep your stomach small. THIS IS FALSE. By doing ab workouts, you put muscle UNDERNEATH the layer of fat on your stomach. Alone, this'll make your stomach stick out more. If you do this in addition to cardio, you'll get a flat, hard stomach. But yeah, crunches/situps alone will make your stomach stick out more.****************
As far as eating, it depends on what your doctor says. You need to ask him to find out how many calories you should cut out of your diet to make up for the thyroid problem. I know if you have an underactive one, it can set you back 200-500 calories a day I think... for not having one at all, I'm not sure. He should have given you some meds to help regulate you and let you live a more normal life, no?
Also, some arrangement in your diet can help keep your metabolism boosted (every bit helps, right?):
-Instead of eating 3 big meals a day, eat 5-6 small meals.
-EAT breakfast. Never skip. You need to break the fast. When you fast, your metabolism slows down.
-Drink Green Tea, it can help a tiny bit.. it's also yummy.
-Don't eat 3 hours before bed.
And lastly, try adding some weight lifting to your exercise routine. Don't be scared of getting like Arnold or anything.. woman can't get like that unless they take male hormones. You CAN get a really sexy, slim, sleak, hard, toned body from doing weights, though. But anyway, the benefit for you is that the MORE muscle you have on your body, the more fat/calories you burn from doing normal everyday things. This can help make up for the thyroid problem as well.
Good luck.

If you had been prego how a ways alongside could you be? You typically may not think motion till the four-fifth month frequently later (1st being pregnant previous with next pregnancies). If you had been that a ways alongside the being pregnant scan must be constructive except there's a trouble with the fetus which would have low HCG phases (what the prego exams degree). In any case low HCG degree is not well. To be most likely certain you could have got to pass to the healthcare professional and get an ultrasound to truthfully visualize if you're pregnant(ordinarily vaginal if early within the being pregnant) and or a blood being pregnant scan. If your urine prego exams comes again bad on the medical professionals too and you continue to think like your prego you ought to be insistent approximately taking the exam extra.

Sounds like you *need* more meat on ya! A variety of exercises are best, since just crunches and abd work won't prevent fat buildup there if it's being added all over. Watch your diet but keep eating, and watch your TSH/T3 to keep the right amount of thyroxin in you.

1) Do bout 30 stomach crunches every day (at least 4 hrs after food)
2) Control your diet...
Loads of determination should prevent your tummy from getting big :)

sit ups are the best way to get rid of fat on stomach. Try to do as many as you can every day and drink lots of water.
