carrots in between meals

I joined with the old plan too that counted calories fat and fiber ? it was a slider scale. The orientation meeting was very good back then, she told us about turkey deli meat, stir fry frozen vegetables, whole wheat pita, very practical ideas that I actually taught you how to shop. The pamphlets seemed better too.

Can you ask them about Cytomel? Ask them for 5 mcg once a day they may be OK with that if you insist. So sorry you are dealing with this.

The patient is no longer hyperthyroid at that point though they are treating hypothyroidism. It's not used to treat an overactive thyroid.

I tried but could not do it at this point in my life. I'm glad I tried because I'm eating more seeds and nuts.

Every food is assigned a point value. They assign you so many points per day. Most produce has 0 points and they recommend you have 5 servings a day. Lean meats have low points. Whole grains have zero or low points. It's not a perfect system, Coke has less points than nonfat Greek yogurt with fruit on the bottom. I found…

This is uncommon. It's very unlikely someone can lose weight with untreated hypothyroidism.

Wonderful!!!

They won't give Synthroid for an overactive thyroid, they may give methimazole or propylthiouracil (ptu) and in some cases a beta blocker.

Are you tired in general? Does sleep help? I go to the dr like others said.

The online calorie counters have made the points harder than calories. 40 Points would be easier than 1800 calories if adding on paper or in our head but we only have to enter a food's name or check a box in 2015.

Eat right before you go!

First congratulations on finishing nursing school! Is there a gym, pool, or weight room on the hospital campus that employees can use? Can you walk the campus after your shift? If it's safe can you do a few minutes of stairs? Is the cafeteria open when you work? Do they have a salad bar? Is there a place that delivers that…

There are people who under estimate what they eat but it doesn't mean metabolism is a myth. People with over active thyroids can eat like a horse and not keep weight on. People with under active thyroids can gain while being completely compliant food plans that work wonders for others.

I've known more than 5 people IRL who lost over 50 lbs with Weight Watchers. These people did not measure everything, one lady worked nights and babysat her grandchildren during the day, she ate fast food around the clock. My biggest beef with WW is that the program was not really explained to me. YMMV as far as what is…

I have a $15 Mainstays slimline food scale from Walmart. It's my first food scale so I can't compare but I think it's pretty discreet - it looks like a tablet from 2 ft away. They have scales in the back, I agree with just asking your server. You could also call around 2 or 3 pm when it's not so busy. I've asked for the…

If you thyroid is not in normal range it really does not matter what you do food wise you will not loose and may gain even if you are doing everything right. Most people who have not dealt with thyroid issues have no clue. There is no food, food combination, shake, vitamin supplement, fitness class, that will give you what…

Last night I weighed & portioned food for the first time. I had FB open to keep me company.. Dominos 50% pizza ad got me! Progress not perfection right? :smile: This is a great thread, it made me realize I need to plan time for this every week. Sat afternoon will be my shopping time and Sat night will be my prep.

I want to loose at least 130! I would love friends!

I was very ill this past summer. It was Coke & wonton soup that kept me going.

Wow I hope they give subscribers an extension!

I don't use WW online or Fitbit but have you seen this update on the glitches? http://faq.weightwatchers.com/?cid=social-channel-faq

Doing what works for you is important! I'm a new WW/MFP hybrid too. These are tools, use what you need. I've never used WW online. I joined meetings only and tracking on paper lasted about 1 day. I remembered MFP and started tracking on here. I did run into an issue with some things. So I bought a food scale for portioning…
