  • definitely more comfortable on flights.; that is already a lot for me as I fly often
  • Hi all, I am new to this group and have been active on another group on MFP for the past five months now. As I am struggling with losing at the moment and settling back onto healthy maintaining I thought it would be useful to remind myself of my long term goals to keep things in perspective. I am 38 and will turn 39 in…
  • Really useful suggestions, what a nice bunch you are!! You gave me a good idea, I checked, and this patisserie chain has in fact so many branches all around the world and perhaps the MFP entry refers to another country where portions are bigger. I have always noticed how huge the portions are compared to Europe whenever I…
  • hi there, Hashimoto's hypo here and yes, it is possible. it took me three years to get the medication dosage to a point where my body is functioning but for the last three years my energy levels were so low that everytime I exercised I crashed and I was craving carbs all the time. then when the dosage reached optimal…
  • NSV: trousers I took out of the closet thinking they were good for the season looked baggy and loose! I had to reopen size 18 boxes - a real pleasure to put on new trousers I bought last year and never worn because they were too tight
  • petty reason: there's a guy. He does not even see me. I can't forget the look he gave to the skinny blonde next to me. It set me ON FIRE. That day something shifted - it was exactly 6 weeks ago and I lost 14 lbs. to date. This is petty, unreal, not the core motivation : I keep reminding myself that I am doing this for…
  • Dear all, I am back after one year. It has been a long struggle to get my thyroid in balance, which happened eventually last year around May. I left MFP because I realised my goals were not realistic given the time of my life I was going through. 1) thyroid imbalance takes time: once the numbers are good, they need to be…
  • Dear all - I have now been given another increase, waited the six weeks and my TSH is now down to 2.8 and T4 up at 16 - with 100mg of thyroxine. I am also on iron, B12, vit. D. The GP sent me off sick for three weeks when ordering another increase of thyroxine, as I had an ear infection not clearing with antibiotics for +5…
  • Thanks everybody - I am sticking to the idea of using MFP once my blood tests are good although I wonder how long it will take. After the last increase (75 mg) my TSH is still at 3.9 . The worst thing is that I am catching up colds all the time. In the last four months I had to call off sick once a month because I would be…
  • Dear all, thanks for your kind answers. It has been a tough process - adjusting to Thyroxine is not easy. My last blood test showed a TSH decreased to 4.78 (down from 29) and T4 up to 14. Fatigue had decreased after three weeks on T4 but now the dosage has been increased and I am feeling rubbish again. As said above, no T3…
  • 16 August 2017 Dear all I have been toying with MFP since last year but found out it reactivated an old eating disorder. One year after, I decided to start again from mindset and I'm here for the long haul. As most people with a past of eating disorders, I did manage to lose weight effectively in the past, and got it all…
