Hi girls

I have reached a plateau in my training.

I have been training since Feb 06. I have been working on tone and muscle definition. I am really pleased with the results, but want to move on and want more definition now. I do HIT training twice a week, working legs, arms and core as well as cardio on either the treadmill or xtrainer. The rest of the week I work out at home doing core, weights and pilates.
I also take supplements, calcium, glucosamine sulphate and my favorite Eph 25.

Because I had my thyroid removed in June, I now have to take levothyroxine - FOREVER. I am still taking the Eph 25, but I know I am going to have to stop sooner or later because of the risks. Does anyone know of a good substitute for the ephedrine, something that will continue to aid my weight loss and enhance my training??

I am 38, I am 5'8" and weigh 10st 4 (on a good day!). I also need any tips on protein supplements eg. drinks, meal replacements etc, which ones are good for after training. (Sometimes the thyroid replacements make me lose my appetite, so I am opting for dreaded slimfast drinks and I obviously need something containing more protein to replace these).

Cheers me dears!
