SW: 204 CW: 192 GW: 142ish Yay!

I have hashimotos and have been struggling for 15 years to find a comfortable solution. Meds didn't help. Exercise hurt. By doctors I've been told to cut white foods out. I've been told to go gluten free. I've been told to do yoga. I've been told to eat lots of sardines and put palm oil in my smoothie. I've done tons of…

When you're driving by taco bell and it's the first time your mouth waters for non-plan food (I love tb, I mean I reallllly love it.) I said out loud, "oh man, I miss taco bell." ...and husband says, "please dont. You're looking so good."

I take wellbutrin. It has helped me get off my butt and move, quit smoking and curb the appetite I believe. I made a lot of lifestyle changes all at once, because my depression was worse than ever and my thyroid numbers scared the crap out of me. Wellbutrin tends to be less effective for depression symptoms, but more…

Oh, this is definitely a motivator for me! I've been struggling the last couple days.

I'm in az, and we don't switch! But I do feel you on the colder mornings. I switched my walk to the afternoon, when my daughter gets home from school so she can go with me. Built in bonding time! And my husband and I are shooting for the gym in the mornings. I just have to magically turn into more of a morning person to…

Update: 1. Been doing keto like a champ, but had an accidental slip up yesterday while eating at a dinner party. Overshot my carbs by quite a bit, and then fell off the rest of the evening with some popcorn and dark chocolate. 2. Went for a walk on Friday and a hike on saturday. Slow moving week. But! Deep cleaned my house…

The scale isn't moving the last few days, because shark week. So my nsv's are: 1. I'm fitting in 3 of my smaller pairs of jeans. I bought one last pair of 16's and promised myself that I would not buy another pair, because I have 5 pairs of smaller jeans waiting for me in my closet. The goal is to be even smaller than…

I take quercetin, adrenal support, fish oil and vitamin d in the am. I take 500 MG mag (I believe citrate) at night. I can't find my really good bottle that I love, and I can't persuade myself to drop 30 bucks on it when I have other bottles of the not so good stuff laying around. I've noticed it's making me sleep very…

@cstehansen thanks!

Can you not post photos from a phone? This needs to be fixed!

I've been just planning on getting my carbs from plants and nuts. This way, it takes the guess work out of it. Yesterday my day looked like this: B: bulletproof coffee L: 2 hardboiled eggs, a pickle, and a handful of pumpkin seeds. S: a spoonful of peanut butter and a square of dark chocolate D: 2 slices of cauliflower…

I'm in! My goals are: 1. Give keto a try for a solid month. 2. Move my body every day 3. Log my food 4. Eat enough at meals to not need snacks 5. Be kinder than necessary and show my gratitude. 6. Take my thyroid meds and supplements consistently I have a dr. Appointment next week. I'm hoping for positive results both in…

My husband has made many changes since meeting me. No longer are the days of processed, packaged foods. He went dairy free when he realized he couldn't have it, and so did the rest of us. With this one, he's so resistant. I think that sometimes, it's just been so engrained in our heads that low fat and low calorie is the…

I haven't been on meds for a year, but just went back on due to the really high antibodies. I've read about selenium, and I think I'll give it a try. Those are great results! I was diagnosed 14 years ago, and have never found anything that helps.

Oh man! Great suggestions!

Dill pickle sunflower seeds= yum. I used to chow down on them every night, but stopped. I may need to go back to that.

I'm thinking the artificial sweeteners might have to be a thing for a while for him. He's such a sugarholic. He is not thrilled about this life change. He came home from the dr today and had a bowl of cereal! He had no idea that was full of carbs. :blush:

Oooh... he liked my dirty martini when I ordered one recently. Pickles are a food group in this house!

That's what I drink. He finds it disgusting. He likes pickle backs. I'm thinking maybe he could sip on whiskey and pickle juice!

Order it with no noodles and sub extra meat or veggies.

I find it really difficult to find and afford grass fed meats. I find costco to be a good option for oorganic produce. I'll usually buy two items and work my meals around those. I'll supplement with smaller portions of items from other stores. As far as meat, I find Safeway to have the best quality in my area. I buy when…

First weigh in! SW: 204 CW: 197 GW: 142ish

Ok, so I'm new here and haven't done any kind of formal introduction, but I have to pick your brains on this one. Someone gave me a bottle of MCT oil about a year ago and I knew it was something good, but wasn't really sure what to do with it. I cook almost exclusively with coconut oil, but something tells me this is…
