Sugar levels? Blood oxygen saturation levels (related to e.g. exercise)? -> See a doctor. :)

I also have a goal of 1200, which is for me probably on the high side because my actual calorie needs have been measured as 1200 a few years ago, around my current weight. Snacks I eat just everything, but I log them in the morning before eating any and if I see I'm getting into trouble with the meals, I don't eat them at…

Here they also don't test T4 and T3 by default; T4 only if TSH is not ok, T3 depends on the type of thyroid issue you have (T3 substitution medication is anyway not allowed here). @MrsLengares2015: depending on what symptom you have from the medication, you might still be better off with meds than without; I was told…

I still haven't done any, feeling guilty. I'll make up for it this weekend, I need to do wrist exercises anyway.

I'd like to join this one. No mins so far.

Trying to get back here too, currently unable to do much with my left arm and hand (yes, arm too...) after a broken wrist. Sports is forbidden at the moment, I hope I'll be allowed after next week's check up.

Someone once told me that we should all stop saying "sorry" (as in the "sorry I'm late", not if you did something wrong to someone of course) and say instead "thank you" (as in "thank you for waiting for me").

I cleaned our bedroom under the bed, there's a spot that's very hard to reach because of the way our bed is built (limited space below the head board) and that has been cleaned out on an evening. Furthermore I've been too tired with 2 Little Dragons in the house (although one of them did his homework! - because I…

This is for me "the never ending story". I have to clean up 4 person's messes (myself included), and I admit being not so tidy myself. My other half gets things out of the way rather efficiently, but his idea of decluttering is to put it in a box and out of sight, so I prefer doing it myself even if it takes more time.

Congratulations to all of you. I started the week ok, but then I got issues with the "how much will I log"-question (I cleaned out the yoghurt of the children which was not even counting in full spoons but many yoghurts should probably add up eventually too) and in the end didn't log. I know I shouldn't be eating my…

I read above that people find it difficult to get up every now and then from the computer. I found that hard too, especially when you're in the middle of finishing something. But at least this challenge has made me get up more regularily, albeit not exactly timed every hour or so. I haven't found a solution for driving the…

Asparagus and artichoke. I don't particularily like meat but I'll eat most except bacon and ham.

Weekly challenge sound fine to me too. Thank you for taking up the task of leading the group (?ad interim?).

I'll take the "text" as "email" and go for the alternative today. (We don't have TV to trade for radio, and no radio in the house either, I guess radio in the car won't help, lol).

I'll go for a cleaning job since I'm working at home today. During lunch break, I'll clean out a kitchen wardrobe. It used to be a yearly job but kids got in the way, lol. :)

Most important for meatballs here is to cook them before frying. That will make the inside ready to eat w/o having the outside carbonated. I put them in a pot of cooking water for about 10 mins, until they start floating in the water. I can put them in the deep-freeze once cooked too, so I make many but they don't get all…

Thanks for your inspiring story. I don't have a bucket list. *blush* I guess my action for today should thus be to make one.

Thank you very much! :) I'll try this one with him.

I confess not doing either of both challenges. I had the kids yesterday evening and we came home late, so no time for cleaning. And I have enough fitness apps on my phone (more than I use, I use only 2 of them).

I parked further away from work than usual (although not because of choice) so that's one. Second will be hard as I'll be working late (not too late) today, and I already walk at lunch time so that's not "more than otherwise".

I tend to disagree on this one too. Artificial sweeteners make your body "think" that sugar is going to arrive, so it'll prepare insulin to deal with that sugar. Because no sugar comes, your blood sugar gets low (the insulin takes away some blood sugar), making your liver respond by releasing sugar into your blood, hence…

I've a feeling that the sudden weight increases still might be thyroid related. For me, the recommended dose of medication is nearly every time different when a blood test is done, suggesting that my thyroid also is working less bad on some days than on others. Some people find a connection with jodium intake and thyroid…

How convenient! Today I work from home so I already planned to walk in the forest? woods? (zone with trees anyway) near our home.

If you're not comfortable on cutting it completely all at once, try diluting it with normal water or sprinkling water for a while, increasing the amount of water gradually. When you're at a reasonable low of soda, start replacing a glass of soda by a glass of water or a cup of herbal tea until you've stopped drinking soda…

My mom has lost a lot of weight since she had the same operation. She does however take hormone substitution pills because she was still relatively young (34 at the time) and otherwise would get "osteoporose" at an early age. And during the checks afterwards, they also detected by accident that her thyroid gland is not…

Where I live (BE), pizza in a take away or restaurant (I'm not talking about chains, those pizza's are probably made in a factory and distributed around) is made with a slice of dough, then tomato sauce, then cheese, then the toppings you asked for, then another layer of cheese and herbs. I've seen them being made lots of…

I stopped working late (I was working really late 2d per week, as in near to midnight and that with a 2-hour drive home ahead) and that way I'm still getting a little done at home in the evening. It's just a small thing but it will still get in some extra steps and movement anyway. And if I get a cleaner house, when I'm…

Today's challenge is not going to work for me. I don't have meetings and the other things I already do. Sorry guys.
