If you still have room, I'd love to be a part of it! I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both being treated, but it is a constant struggle to just lose a pound. It might be good to network and diary stalk for food ideas!

1 can of Tuna (drained) with 4 Tbsp of fresh salsa. No mayo, just the tuna and salsa. Everyone thinks I'm strange when I eat this but it is amazing!

I just started IF a couple weeks ago. So far, so good. I don't usually go over my calories at all anymore. I can stick to it. I do sometimes take a day off on the weekend, if my social agenda calls for it, and get right back to it on Sunday night. I am a noon to 8pm eater. If I get hungry before noon, I just have a cup of…

+1 Couldn't have said it better or more precise. I will add that I have just started with an IF 16:8 experiment. Honestly didn't think I could do it. It was so easy for me to transition into IF. I skip breakfast (I have white tea and water) and begin to eat between 11 and noon. I actually have found that I am no where near…

It always boggles my mind the Quest fanatics on here. IMO, they are the worst tasting slab of goop I have ever tasted and twice the price of most protein bars. I've tried many and Pure Protein is (IMO) the best tasting and one of the most cost friendly bars. The Chewy Chocolate Chip is my favorite. Best yet, Pure Protein…

I've got Hashimoto's and Rheumatoid Arthritis (double whammy) and I am constantly fighting both. I have them, they do NOT have me!! It's frustrating for sure. I lost 52lbs and now I struggle to lose 2 or 3lbs per month. It's just a matter of finding that magic number that works for you. I've also read some articles lately…

Ben & Jerry's - Half Baked Lake Effect - (a little gourmet ice cream place near my house) - Red Wine Truffle and Orange Chocolate Sponge Candy (oh, yes...it has chunks of orange chocolate sponge candy in an orange chocolate flavored ice cream!) If I'm gonna eat ice cream, I'm eating the good stuff!

My desk drawer is filled with Pure Protein Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars, Blue Diamond Dark Chocolate flavored almonds, Blue Diamond Roasted Salted Almonds, gum, SLIM JIMS, White Tea with Pomegranate (Trader Joes-yummy). I also bring in apples, melon, berries or whatever I'm in the mood for that day. I only allow myself to…

Broil the chicken breast with some fajita seasoning sprinkled on. When cooked through, add taco cheese or pepper jack cheese on top of the breast meat. Return to oven until the cheese melts. Crumble up some tortilla chips and top with Salsa. My boys LOVE this!

Yuck. Try Pure Protein. Better texture and better macros, IMO

Your macros seem out of whack. Too many carbs and no where near enough protein. Try a 40/30/30 ratio. 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat. I do this and then every once in a while (1 week out of 6) drop the carbs to 25% and up the fat to 35%. Worth a shot.

^^This^^ I've tried several, and I've tried changing to save some money. ON Gold Standard is worth the few extra bucks. The vanilla ice cream flavor is awesome and very versatile. My favorite blend is with an egg white, tbsp of cocoa and a 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter. Tastes like a peanut butter cup!

^^This^^ was me too. Hypothyroid dx was 20 years ago. Hashimoto's was dx about 6 years ago when I went to a endocrinologist after just feeling that something was still off and no one was doing anything beyond TSH blood work. Vitamin D (severely deficient) was dx about 6 months ago when I changed doctors. Now that I am on a…

Pure Protein all the way!! Very tasty, not chalky or gritty and **has more protein than carbs.** Eating one right now. Chewy Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Peanut Butter are my favs. Walmart has them in a six pack box for about $6.99. I've tried the quest bars and all I can say is yuck! I don't like the texture at all, and…

Look at your diary....the days you eat chicken or steak out (Applebees, etc)....LOOK at that Protein number. Aside from eating out and the amount of sodium that comes with that, it's the chicken, steak and seafood that should be prominent in your diary. Cut back on the carbs. Pass on the fries, skip the buns, rolls and…

I have to agree. My personal trainer turned me on to Pure Protein. They taste way better than a quest bar and not nearly as many carbs. I usually keep them in my desk drawer. I'm out of Pure Protein today, so HALF a quest bar will have to do today, but I'm not at all happy about it!

I agree with those opinions that it's Raynauds Syndrome. Get to a doctor and have it checked. Raynauds is an auto-immune disorder and MAY lead to other issues. In my case, about a year after I had those symptoms, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (another auto-immune disorder). After researching my diagnosis, I…
