Thank you! Kiss!

Thanks! That looks like a good routine. I just realized though, that I am apparently doing what my kids call "women's" push ups...with my knees on the floor and toes up. I can only do 22 of them before it gets too hard, so it is going to take some time. I have started doing two different planks, full and elbow, which I am…

Thanks for the encouragement. I am up to there now, and doing variations. Already feel stronger.

Thanks for your answer. I don't even know why I am hypo, though I remember it was the blood test that confirmed it. I had no ultrasound at all. Maybe I should ask my doctor a couple of question. All the posts here will be helpful to focus on what to ask.

Here is another one. You have all given so much info there probably isn't much to add. I was diagnosed hypothyroid about 24 years ago. My doctor was never the talkative kind, and I didn't know enough to ask besides being worried about "complaining". I did notice that at every pregnancy after that, I would be unusually…

What is more effective-more push ups, or different variations, possibly making it harder with each push up? I have just started, so I am slowly building it up to more sets at this time.

Yes, I was trying to figure out how may calories I am using. I usually do 3 sets of 10, then I do the same for ab crunches and a few other exercises to strengthen my hips, as I have arthritis. I do them all in sequence with no breaks...except for a deeper breath in between.

Thanks, I might try singing one day :wink:

Ok thanks. I am exercising, but don't always eat up my calories gained by them. Never knew you could get inflammation, though. So, keep exercising, and keep eating then?

wunderlandz is 19, so you make sense she should be careful to not lose too much each week. How about when you are 57? I am the same size as her, only I started at 147 and want to go down to 136. According to my bathroom scale, I have so far lost 2lb a week in 3 weeks. I that dangerous for me too?
