I wouldn't even try!!!! If my thyroid levels are within my normal range is because I am taking meds. Talk to your doctor or endocrinologist!!

My memory is very good, my fingers typing on the board not so much.... ;)

Charles Mason/Mason Family and de LaBianca murders? I think that you may be too young to remember that if you asked the question. It was "hippie" time in the US. It was a time when people were endorsing a different kind of diet (besides a high consumption of drugs and hallucinogens). My comment was very sarcastic, indeed.…

I had a knee replacement in November 2016, and full squats with or without weights are totally out of my league now, and not recommended by the doctor or PT either. I can do chair squats, but that's all. I know of many people with knee replacements that they can't do full squats either, and the same with hip replacement.…

Is that the diet that Mason was following... :#

What about the stationary/recumbent bicycle, can you do that and do you have access to a gym? However, if you can't have PT yet, it may be because you are still healing. Better wait until your doctor gives you the OK to see a physio and take it from there. You don't want to re-injure your femur. Good luck and wish you a…

My issue was not with her rights to let a stranger know that she didn't want or need his advice. But when @SchweddyGirl made the comment "seems like I did better than you did oldman" she showed an ageisms bias against the older population. I wonder if you had reacted the same if she had said "I did better than you…

And I gave her a "disagree" for the same reason. No need to put down somebody older just because she didin't like the advise.

Thanks for the info! I may try doing it with corn tortilla since I don't eat wheat. Since the corn tortillas are usually smaller I could do two of them. Yep!

Nice! Did you cook or warm the tortilla (corn or flour) before or after adding all the toppings? E

I keep organizing and checking those pretty storage boxes in my closet to find out what is inside. I mostly found birthday, anniversaries, mother and father's day cards, and Christmas cards, exchanged with our kids and within my husband and me. At almost 54 years of marriage (this coming April), there are LOTS of cards to…

Or you may decide not to eat the extra exercise calories on week days and save them for the weekend where you can safely eat more (e.g. eating at a restaurant). Or you can eat only 50% of the calculated amount. But burning 200 or 300 calories for only a hour of walking, is a little bit too much IMOP, unless you are a big…

You were really ambitious and dedicated!!! Good for you! I was thinking of getting rid of some cookbooks and binders with recipes as well. Not because they are "diet" stuff, but because I know that I will never use them again (not that use them much in the past either ;) ). I don't like cooking so all my meals are very…

OP: Thank you for your service. and I agree with the recommendation to seek professional help. Magnesium Glycinate has worked very well for me. It was recommended by my neurologist to help alleviate tension headaches and neck pain, but it acts like a muscle relaxer and helps me to fall asleep faster. Melatonin doesn't work…

Rowing and ARC Fitness.

When I started several years ago I used the MFP defaults, and I found that the carbs were way to high and the protein way to low for me, specially when doing strength training. So I did a lot of reading and I analyzed my body's response to those macros, and adjusted accordingly. We are all different. Some people do very…

Neither!

Nice choice of desert @acpgee, but it is her birthday and she should not be cooking🎂 !

I don't like curry dishes because I find the Indian spices too strong for my taste (no offense to anybody), but I found this link on line, so maybe it can help you. Did you search for curry dishes in the Recipe section, or Pinterest? https://www.allrecipes.com/recipes/15944/main-dish/curries/

I have a hiatal hernia too that gives me mild GERD on occasion. The worse triggers for me are: alcohol, chocolate and heavy sweets deserts, raw onions, and garlic in anyway or form, sodas, tomato sauces, foods high in saturated fat, gravies or heavy sauces. I can eat raw tomatoes and all kind of vegetables or salads. On…

Reservations!!! :D :D Nobody cooks for me, and I am not cooking for myself on my birthday.

I wish I could do to do #5 :'( I live in a gated community and garage sales are not allowed and I am not good at selling on line. So the donation places are the winners. Good job completing # 8 kiddo!

I fast between 12 and 14 hours, overnight ;) I have dinner between 7 and 7:30 PM and breakfast the following day around 8 AM, later on the weekend. I don't snack before going to bed. I don't do any additional fasting unless it is for medical reasons (surgery, procedure, lab work, etc.), and I don't fast for religious…

@NewLIFEstyle4ME and @Madwife2009 Great organizing plans ladies, and good luck with all of them. Yesterday I spent almost two hours organizing my everyday jewelry dresser. I had things that I don't use anymore, such as brooches and necklaces, and many pair of earrings had lost their "mates." I like to have the earrings…

Even if you find what you are looking for, they will not be able to motivate you. They may encourage you and probably inspire you, but that is all. Motivation comes from within, so it is up to you to find it. Good luck!

@ PAPYRUS3 Thank you for the link!

Happy new years to all of you. I will be posting more updates after this month, and the holidays, are over. G. <3

@PAPYRUS3 I really like that casserole. Do you mind sharing the recipe with the group <3 ?
