  • No did not give me anything for T3. Said just wait and we will see again on the next blood work. My question is how long do we have to wait?? I do not have Hashimoto's that I know of. I have to beg for the test that has been ran now. Hoping this new doc will be more understanding and get this lined out.
  • Never heard this. But I'll give it a try. Thanks!
  • Oh yea I supplement with sodium and take mag every night. I honestly think it's because of the BP med change. The sad thing is this is the 2nd doc I've seen. It seems they blame the way of eating instead of finding the issue. But I will beat this! So.....im going to another doc on Friday that will hopefully understand the…
  • Welcome back! Lord working 3 jobs with kids and a hubby is enough to help push you off the wagon. I'm tired just reading that! Ha! I do believe that we all have moments where we slip from time to time. I agree the feeling good part is worth it. The scales don't move much at all for me, but I love how I feel great!
  • Welcome!

  • Amy is great! Love her posts! She has helped me figure out so much!
  • I agree...I've noticed that when I choose an ingredient in MFP the calories, fat, carbs, etc. are not accurate, so I usually just add my own.
  • Hello! Welcome Keto-ers! Been off the boards and MFP for a little while. I'm upset with myself for messing up my log in streak that I had going. Now I'm starting over again, but oh well a new year and new me!

  • Oh no! Hopefully you can get it figured out! There's no telling what mine would say....lol
  • That's rite! I may need to look into getting something else to check. I have the sticks and it always show light to medium range, would like to know the exact number.
  • Let us know how it goes. May have to check into this. Was it really expensive?
  • My goal for carbs is to stay under 20g. Believe my protein is set at 88g and fat is like 137g maybe a little more. I don't really worry much about calories; however I have them set at 1500 and hardly ever go over. I've never really been a big fruit person so it's not hard for me to stay away. I've always been a meat person…

  • First I have to say that 10 lbs is awesome! Congrats! I know that gaining those 2 lbs back is very frustrating to put it nicely! I've been eating Keto for months and have only lost a couple lbs, honestly. I loose and gain the same pound over and over again! I could just scream but I hang in there and keep pushing forward.…

  • Cooked chicken thighs and bacon in it last night....seems to be great so far! I got the cooks essential brand 5.3 Quart from QVC of course. I'm a QVC addict! lol
  • I make the cream cheese pancakes, which is just cream cheese and eggs. I usually add a little Splenda to sweeten it up some. Then of course have to have the DaVinci sugar free syrup on them!
  • Oh no! LOL! I was actually proud of myself, didn't even sample any of it. We never have trick or treaters but I helped pass out candy for my office at a Halloween function last night. Made it thru the whole night without tasting any of it. Honestly the hardest part was the cake that they had made for the event! Oh it was…
  • I'll have to try this. Just got in an air fryer yesterday, I bet it would work in there as well!
  • I've tried all kinds of sweeteners and just don't like them and keep going back to Splenda. I've wasted so much money of others and decided to stop trying and just stick with the one I like. lol. I def can't do Stevia....it's after taste is awful!

  • Welcome! I also eat 5% carbs. The weight has not left me but I keep trucking along. One day it will catch up and fall off....or so I'm hoping. This group is amazing and very supportive.
  • Yes totally! I had a weak moment and had a beer. I can say the beer was not worth the mess I dealt with for days after consuming! I've had one or two in the past but this time....well let's just say I looked and felt 7 months pregnant! Lesson learned!
  • I have never tried kombucha but heard about it on a podcast. Love the probiotics tho!
  • I messed up Saturday before last and drank a darn beer...only 10 oz beer and lord have I paid for it. Bloating started 3 days later and lasted for over a week. I couldn't believe that a beer did that to me. I even went back and tried to find something else that I did different that may have caused it, but there was…
  • Made them this past weekend for breakfast and even the hubs like them! Score!
  • I use this exact one but leave out the cinnamon and I love them! Will try to make some with cinnamon to see the difference.
  • Would love to see your recipes. I made cream cheese pancakes and chocolate mousse recently that I'm loving!!
  • I agree! I have learned so much from just reading other people's accomplishments and struggles.
  • So glad this thread started....I am hypothyroid and currently take medication. I eat LCHF and seem to feel pretty good, also it seems as if my energy level has increased. I walk 2 miles 5 days a week. But the weight is not going any where. I read how people lost a good bit at the beginning, but not me. Don't get me wrong,…
