Whatever, it's working. :p

*kitten* ...It's working.

Obviously you haven't read it. I really don't understand people who make these kinds of angry rant negative posts without doing their research. The book is functional medicine which looks at the entire health of your body, holistically. Not like traditional medicine which looks at you as only a collection of individual…

The protocols have been effective for any form of thyroid over/under/hashi, plus her research has shown that most people who have hypo are in fact hashimoto's but have not been accurately diagnosed. But whatever. All I know is, it's working for me.

I am in the same situation. I urge you to RUN out and buy the book Hashimoto's Protocol. I highly recommend it for anyone with thyroid issues!!! My weight would not budge and I was getting so frustrated, to the point of tears. But I have finished her first protocol & started on the second phase and have had amazing results…

YES! I recently added MCT oil to my diet and the cravings have gone down substantially. I use brain octane oil by bulletproof (amazon) Started with 1 tsp and now am up to around 2 tablespoons daily. I take 1 in the morning with hot lemon water and another mixed in with a protein green smoothie (orin salad dressing, etc) I…

Hey you... HAPPY FRIDAY!!! B)

1. Maybe God will answer their prayer & they will earn some empathy for others. 2. ((((HUGS)))) Right on sister! You are beautiful! I hope you focus on those positive words and chalk #1 up to the ignorance of youth & improper upbringing.

My feeling tonight... :)

I am thankful for: - regaining my health day by day - my wonderful & supportive DH <3 - fresh air & hard work in the yard B) - mud on my hands & feet - our songbirds are back - starry skies & cool nights - chocolate - my dog and his wiggly butt :)

Congrats on finally seeing the scale move. Please send your woosh to me for a visit? B)

Have you been keeping an eye on your sodium levels? I saw that you noted soup and crackers, some of those can be really high in sodium. I find that I get puffy in my hands and face the day after I've had too much sodium, and usually either gain a bit or stay the same weight wise. A lot of processed (boxed, canned, bottled)…

[/quote] Babies are the best! I need this as a screen saver![/quote] This one is one of my all time favorites!! I smile every single time I see it! :)

I am thankful for: - clean water to drink - my sweet DH - fresh pedicures - moonlit walks - the sound of my windchime - mom having a good day today - my cat waking me up with snuggles & purrs - fresh grapefruit :p

Happy Moooooooonday! :)

Have you tried journaling at all? I know it sounds trite but usually when we eat from emotions we reach for something specific. If you can tie the type of emotion to the food, you can start seeing patterns. loneliness = chocolate chip cookies, doughnuts frustration/anger = chips, dip & salami happy reward = ice cream,…

I agree 100% I think they (MFP & MapMyFitness) are waaaaay too generous with the fitness calories. I almost always just ignore them & only eat about 25% of them back at most... and I still gained. So... there's that. LOL Yet I am bigger than you at 5'9 (and much heavier) so I think they do give you more when you are bigger.

That's so cute! You know it's a good day when your coffee is smiling at you! :)

This one. :)

I like to put stuff on his head. :p Here he is asa pup:

Look at that itty bitty little waist. Congrats ladybug, you look confident & amazing! Well done! B)

Back rub. And a foot rub. :)

Thanks, SammiG01 :) Love the smidge of chocolate! <3

I am grateful for: - my family - my furry family - sunny days & tennis - guacamole - beautiful music - my health - mfp support o:)

Got out enjoyed the sunshine & played some tennis with hubby... My face right now...

We snorkel & paddle board. One of my goals is to get back out on the water again this summer. I'd also like to learn how to surf. Does that count? If so, feel free to add me as a friend. ( :smiley:

I have to spell words in front of my dog... Love to paddle board... Favorite candy is a Cherry Mash. (which I can't even buy in our state)

I am thankful for: - the smell of fresh citrus :p - random acts of kindness - the sound of my garden fountain splashing - my two baby pineapples growing - coffeeeee - our puppy's wags, wiggles & kisses - my sweet DH - rain today B)

Up .5 lb this morning so my mood today is a little more...

Nice list. I read something once that has really stuck with me through the years... it was something to the order of "what if you woke up tomorrow only with those things you were thankful for today." We have truly been blessed with so much. <3
