It's the weight loss that helped, not the vitamins. I see that you lost 5 pounds. Good job.

What were your menses like prior to the birth control?

The vitamin will not help you have periods. Sometimes the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis is more activated than others. Are you trying to conceive? If not, you may want to find some sort of contraceptive. Have you lost any weight? Weight loss will activate the HPOIaxis. What meds are you on?

Go to the doc. Find out what you have, remember your diagnosis,write it down on an index card and carry it with you in your purse/wallet, take the meds, and follow up. Usually if there is no refill, then the doc wants to see you again.

MHE is a terrible disease. Have you had genetic counseling? I think that the chair yoga,/exercises and pool therapy may be the best options for you. You may want to consider an appt with the dietician to help find what eating plan may be best for you. Guided imagery has been helpful for pain. You may want to ask your doc…

insulin medicated lipogenesis. Insulin drives fat into storage. This may be what your doc was trying to say--perhaps your carbs are going into fat storage (insulin resistance) and can't be utilized by the body as efficiently as it could in the past. By going Low carb, higher fat--you are in essence burning the fat stores…

Thanks.

HOw is your thyroid? Low carb works for me.

What kind of disability? Back, wheel chair bound, neuromuscular disease, chronic lung or heart disease, etc. Swimming may be helpful. If you are in a wheelchair, get some walking poles (like Exerstriders) and give youor self an upper body workout, can you cycle on a recumbent bike?

Was he premature?

for the first 2 years of life, growth is usually a reflection of in utero. After age 2, it is more of a familial/genetic thing. What are your son's growth parameters (% ages wight & height) in the past and now? Did he go more than 2 of the lines on the growth chart? Breast fed babies typically will can weight quicker than…

Hi, I am happy with the food plan and my exercise activities. My goal is to do my back exercises (Foundation Training--check out the TED talk on youtube by Eric Goodman.) daily--minimum of 10 minutes a day. My job requires much sitting and my lower back has been hurting. These exercises have helped. Xylitol is OK Radii, I…

HI guys, happy to be here. May 7-- 230.1 May 27--218.7 Interesting thing about herbivores--their GI tract is different than ours. The grasses, leaves, vegetation that they eat is fermented and short chain fatty acids are what is absorbed. Then if you are rabbit, you have to eat your poo to get some of the good bacteria in…

Yes. I was watching TED ta.ks on youtube.com. There is a very good one by Eric Goodman. he is a chiropractor and chronic back pain survivor. I watched the TED talk and did the exercises--helped my back. You may want to check it out. He has more videos on youtube, too. Foundation Training. I can't tell you hoe much it has…

Kegels and there are weights that you can purchase onlive for pelvic floor.

Many folks with T2DM also have hypothyroidism. get that checked. Low Carb works. Good luck.

Try a non-hormonal IUD

I schedule it in. So much of success is suiting up, showing up, and doing the work. For me, it is early in the AM. I have realized that following a calorie plan is crucial to my weight loss/wellness journey. Exercise is crucial for my brain, bones, lean muscle mass. Find something that you enjoy and go for it! I will admit…

57 here. I have lost 40 pounds. calorie counting, using food scale, meal planning, etc. A great resource for me, is a book by Judith Beck. It's called, The beck Diet Sol'n". It goes into the psychology of weight loss and teached tools for dieting/maintenance. It works with any diet plan. Also, as we age, our thyroid gland…

Hi~~ For me, LC works. It helps to keep my insulin levels down. Insulin (and estrogen) drives fat cell storage. If people don't like it, well, that's their opinion. I just say, it helps to keep my insulin levels down. Smile and walk away.

Is your thyroid working correctly? At TSH of 3, start replacement. Losing weight while on Seroquel is hard, but can be done. I use a food scale & it has really helped. Good luck.

Great thread, Sixxpoint. Thanks for the help. How about sending a pic of some of your favorite meals that you cook for yourself to give us ideas. very nice thread. thanks, pedi

See your doc. Many times after pregnancy, hypothyroidism happens. If your ztSH s greater than or equal to 3, then you meet the criteria for thyroid replacement. Good luck. Also check about postpartum depression.

check out fitfatties on Facebook. Lots of great ideas and motivation. Pick something that you like, enjoy the movement. Walking, cycling, swimming, yoga, etc

57 here, follow 1200 calorie diet. Great thread. I enjoyed this thread.

I am on 1200 Calories/day and doing well. I am older (57) and it is the calorie allotment that MFP gave me. I eat very nutrient dense foods. Not hungry. I do have to plan for indulgences, but it is workable for me.

I really like this thread. Thanks to all of you for posting and sharing recipes. Pedi

OP. I assume that your TSH is now ~ 1. That's where the new guidelines suggest with treatment. If the TSH is OK, then have a free T3 tested to see if you need add'l T3 (like cytomel).
