I suppose with the name you choose you are preparing a figure contest !? anyway your legs seems okay, I don't see that much fat on your arms on this pict, but maybe you need an improvement in the midde section area (abs) keep on the good work, & good luck

Are you taking an iodine type supplement with the synthroid?

it depends on your thyroid on how much you need to take to get in the normal range. When you only take 10 12 mcgs it actually doesnt slow your own thyroid. I have a prescription and its only 5mcgs daily, that how I get my cytomel. 50 75 mcgs would be to much for a female. That will slow your own thyroid down. Who told you that info anyway?Deadlift said:

last pic is better. I see more water than anything else. keep up the diet and cardio. Cant recommend much with out knowing your diet and cardio rotuine.
your legs look good, don't let them get bigger if you compete in Ca. i think your lower abbs arms and possible lower back while get tighter as you get closer to contest time.
again if your in Ca don't get to hard or ripped the judges don't like it. go easy on the T3 first time out. take nolva to dump that last bit of baby fat
good luck

I say 11% is to low, women carry about 10% more fat then men naturally. If I remember right, the women in competitions are at 15% or so and they are ripped.
Whatever your b/f is, it's at a good %, I know there is a limit that once you get under that amount of b/f. Women start having female problems, they stop menstruating for one, that's not healthy.

Still...
I came in around 8-9% at my contests. The judges told me my conditioning was perfect at that BF%. But you are right. Anything below 10% causes the menstral cycle to be thrown off. Most competitors only stay that lean around contests. Not recommended to stay below 10% for more than a week or so.JohnnyB said:

I would agree with 11.5% on the hips down but above that I would say you are slightly more especially on the upper arms...13% on top...would need a photo from the back to be sure. I've used measuring calipers and it changes every damn 5mins...I bet you could have walked stright back in and been measured again at a different BF%
At the end of the day it's what the judges see that counts they certainly don't submerge you in a BF% bath ...or not at the shows I've been too
You keep taking all these meds but it's cardio that's needed and lots of it!
