It is possible. However, I had about that many gp's say "Oh a TSH of 5 is well within normal range. There is nothing wrong with your thyroid." Ignoring hairloss, weight gain, depression, dry skin, brain fog, constipation, brittle nails, constantly being cold, fatigue, anxiety attacks, insomnia, hypersomnia, lethargy,…

I took mine at night for a while but I found that it was just too hard to keep it at a regular time. And sometime I would also just forget. For me waking up and taking it, having a slow morning getting ready, and then eating an hour later is just easier and more consistent.

Oh boy am I. So far I've lost 8.4 kgs (18.5 lbs). I'm not sure what is causing your hypo, but mine is from Hashimotos. At the moment I'm pretty well medicated so I'm not currently feeling any hypo symptoms unless I miss a dose. That honestly makes a huge difference in weight loss, but even without that balance you can…

Thanks for that link I always wash roasts before cooking them. Not sure why, just because it says so in my cook book. I can't say I've ever questioned it before. And dear god it's a pain too- washing the sink all clean, then washing all the counters and sink again. Thanks for taking away a painful step.

What causes the bloating? What exactly is "one thing of junk food"? I get severe bloating and digestion problems from a food I'm allergic to- so without knowing anything else avoidance of whatever is causing the issue is my answer. To help relieve the bloating is just time and water. One thing you could do is get…

I'm gluten free and lactose intolerant too - I may or may not be able to do cheese and yoghurt (still playing with my diet to see what's up). My family history is also full of diabetes so I try to keep to pretty low gi foods (although this week hasn't been too good). My diary is open if you want to look for meal ideas.

My mom went the other way with food- she ate her feelings. She still does, although she's not quite as bad now that her depression is being controlled. Still, it was a normal sight to see her consume and entire gallon of ice cream on a bad day. And there was a lot of bad days. I used to try and control her binging if you…

I prefer to make turkey mince burgers because it's easier to get lean turkey mince here and because I think that rolling them into rissoles is easier than chicken mince ( I find chicken mince gets a bit too sticky). I also agree they're easy to overcook, so be aware and just watch them. Don't feel bad if the first try is a…

My size 18 jeans are now starting to get baggy. When I started back in January, I was a size 22.

I've cut out fast food completely and gluten. Now I'm not even a little tempted by birthday parties at work or anything because of how much & how long it hurts. It's funny I started my particular diet (paleo) to see if it would help my husband with his fatigue while helping me lose weight (I LOVE bread, baking, and…

My celiac test was negative, but I'm pretty dang sure I'm allergic to wheat (I made some monkey bread for a bake sale and got a rash from kneading the dough). I also react to barley. So I've just gone completely gluten free. I am eating the occasional gf oats. I added it back about a day or two before I got glutened, but…

I've been GF since January and just started the FodMAP diet for tummy issues, but everyone has been amazing and supportive. My SIL is talking with the caterers for her wedding in just a couple months to see if they can do something for me, my friends all try whatever I bring to share. As far as camping- it would be so easy…

I mostly do walking atm, although I want to get back into yoga and swimming. I looked at phone apps, but either I'm looking at the wrong ones, or my phone is a bit special. It may be both because my phone hates MFP app and a few others. Still I think that a pedometer is the best I can do with a phone and that's just not…

I don't know if this is the easiest way but I've made some of my "foods" things like that. So for example I made some potato mash that I wanted to use in Shepard's pie, but because I don't use traditional butter or milk I made use of my mash potato recipe. So I took the nutrition facts of that recipe to make it a "food", I…

Yup. I actually have been cooking several meals on the weekends so I could stock up for the week. Really recommend it because it's been a huge help planning meals. Have you ever built something out of wood? What was it?

When no body is home, I often dance and sing loudly (and very off-key) while I cook.

The Australian Coeliac Society says that 4 out of 5 people with Coeliac disease can tolerate oats, meaning 20% of all people with it will react to them. This mess will take you to a pdf on how they classify gf.…

Adding on to this question - does anyone know of where to get them in Australia (online because I'm rural)? All I can find is shipping them from the states and that's just not affordable.

I'm so very homesick and completely bummed I missed my niece's sweet 16th.

Not until you asked that question... Have you ever been very excited over a toy (as an adult) and bought it for yourself?

Jesus a lot more than twice.. I'm at least 10 + times I confess- I reread books like crazy

Too wrapped up in his work
