I'm technically new to the GF world but once I started, I reallized that I was mostly there already just with the natural progression of my diet. I marinade and season all of my own foods with natural oils and lots of seasonings! I haven't added salt to a recipe in years. Also, look into quinoa. Naturally GF and makes…

It's also important to understand that Endos don't just focus on thyroid issues (hypo, hyper, etc.) they also tackle diabetes and other diseases of the endocrine system. Unfortunately, most Endos (at least in my experience) know little to nothing about thyroid specific diseases because they have spent their careers focused…

Holy cow woman!

First, join this group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/770-hypothyroidism-and-hyperthyroidism They have some good information and some bad information but definitely a lot of support. I've been riding this Hypothyroid train for 9 years and it's no fun (without medications my levels are over 300). Like FirstSip…

I've recently become a morning exerciser. 3 days a week at the gym and 3 days at home. I'm up at 4:30 am either way. What helped me (and I know everyone isn't this lucky) is that my husband gets up with me! He usually just rolls out of bed, lets the dog out and sits on the couch and plays video games, but knowing that he's…

Every splurge meal so far has been sushi. SOOOO good!

I agree. If you really, truly think you have an overeating disorder, try going to a meeting. Overeaters Anonymous. Trust me, they'll let you know right away if they think you're just using it as an excuse or if you truly have symptoms.

Stockton California (I'll take your condolences) and it's 51 and raining. Haven't seen the sun all day. Was super sunny yesterday and possibly sunny again tomorrow.

I've never tried it and have decided that now is not the time to! I'm happy in my bubble of never knowing what I'm missing.

I missed the threads yesterday (thank goodness) but this sounds awfully familiar. Is this the same girl who was posting braless, thong photos a couple of weeks ago and telling everyone off for "hating on her big boobs" when they were telling her that what she was posting is against the terms? Claiming that she warned…

I do all of my training on a treadmill. I'm up really early (4:30 am) and it's way too dark and dangerous for me on the streets. I've been using the C25K Free from Zen Labs app on my Android for 6 weeks and it works just fine for me. I can play my own music; the voice prompts pause what I'm listening to to tell me to run,…

I said this same thing and it didn't work... <<~~~ look at that big ol' booty!! lol BUT! Now I have a more serious goal. I don't want to be an out of shape Mom. I'm working on my body now so that when we start our family I won't be too far gone to find my way back. I've found this to be far more motivating than the…

I'm eating a Jell-o Double Chocolate pudding cup right now... 60 cals

Check this out. A lot of very successful folks on here swear by it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

I've actually found the opposite. When I work out regularly my skin gets clearer and smoother. I agree with Sofie that it may be clearing you out. Make sure you shower and wash your face as soon as you can after each shower and give it a few weeks.

It will always be there, but it will get smaller as you do. That's what mine has done in the past and is doing now too. Which makes my husband VERY greatful... he might divorce me if I lost it... :blushing:

I don't plan chat meals, they seam to find me. My husband and I decided to do brunch on Sunday, if I had planned a cheat meal for Friday I would have been SOL. But I went, enjoyed myself and got back on track for dinner.

Sometimes... There are months when I can gain up to 5 lbs and then other months (like right now) where I'm just maintaining. I'm hoping that I have gained a little and next week I'll have a significant drop lol. Wishful thinking!!

I normally do Pop Chips (I LOVE veggie chips but they don't fit into my macros right now). To try something different, I bought some of the Special K variety just yesterday and I don't like them. They have a great flavor on the outside, but that's gone in a few seconds and you're left with the cardboard taste while you…

Depending on the type and severity of your knee injury, can you use the Stairmaster? My trainer's training for a Fit Model Competition and she's using the stairs to slim down her Puerto Rican booty.

I haven't lived at home for 12 years and my Mom still does this; she brought my 2 favorite desserts over last time she visited. It won't change just by moving out. You have to learn to control your urges. I ate one Rice Krispy Treat and gave the rest to my husband (yes, that means they were still in the house) and put the…

I'm already in the shower at 5:45!

Seriously! I can't do breakfast foods without Tapatio.

I used to do this but with Nacho Cheese... so good!

From what I've read here before (can't find the source, sorry!!) there is often a connection between Hashimoto's and Celiac Disease because they are both autoimmune diseases. Otherwise, someone with hypo having positive effects from going Gluten free is just as likely to happen as someone without hypo. Personally, i find…

When I was in high school, I used to go see a local band play just about every weekend. They were super high energy and always got the crowd going. I have since married the bass player (he gives the BEST massages) and listening to their music is perfect for when I'm trying to get through the last few minutes of my run.

I was getting my cardio in yesterday morning and there were a group of 4 women in the row in front of me. All obviously skilled runners and good friends. I was admiring their skill (seriously, I suck at running! I want to be good and I'm working on it) when I noticed that every one of them had gross saggy butt, and they…

Bacon.....scrambled eggs, fresh biscuits and bacon gravy (not that nasty sausage gravy you get at restaurants)... Yea, that's my favorite. Reality? I work out early so my breakfast is my protein shake: 1 banana 3/4 cup of frozen berries scoop of protein powder flax seed 1 cup of water (don't need to waste calories on milk!…

None. They are a money scam. I do have Glutamine that I add to my water after a particularly nasty round of weight training to help my muscles recover. But anything marketed as a "weight loss supplement" is just a waste of money

We got one of those home soda makers for Christmas. I use it to make bubbly water and squeeze some lemon in it. My new favorite!!
