I also would like more connections :) - I will send out some requests, but please feel free to add me. I am sammylar on GC Happy steps!! :smile:

My hubby is from there!! Alberta Girl here!!

I just started and found a great website with recipes. It also has the nutritional value for both 'juiced' and 'solid' total ingredients. On some recipes there is a difference of 200 calories from Juice to Solid (Juice being lower). www.juicerecipes.com

I just started yesterday - and I am having 2-3 juices/day! I found a great website for juice recipes and it also has the calorie/nutrition values on the recipes. This morning was the 'Beginner Green' I really liked it and so did my hubby. http://juicerecipes.com/

You are a superstar!! Great work and keep going!:smile:

I don't like radishes either, but I never thought of them as a vegetable!! lol:laugh:

I had always heard ~ and was told by many non-diet pop drinkers~ that there is sooooooooooo much sodium in diet pop~ I love my diet coke and have for many many years! I used the barcode scanner from MFP app - and I was very pleasantly surprised at how low the sodium was! On the other hand, I have fairly low BP so I need a…

No BS - if a doctor is audited and a patient is prescribed a prescription that may/can do harm they can be in trouble. That is a fact anywhere, my doctors all seem to follow the rules. My point was..that if you are in range of "normal" thyroid any doctors I have seen in the past 20 years do not change your dose so that you…

Google ~~Hyperthyroid & what foods to eat Then google ~ Hypothyroid and what foods to eat - There may be some of the same foods that are better for you and some that are not good at all. I have been hypo since 1992 and I am still learning how to eat the foods that help, not hurt my thyroid, it is a challenge at times as my…

The testing for hypo thyroid here in Canada is very different than the states. We have a range ~ and if you are in that range there is not much more the doctors can do legally (they cannot increase the dose of medication if it is in range). I have had low thyroid for 20.5 years and I have to keep trying things on my own...…

Good Afternoon ~~ I am a late day starter!! Hello from Sylvan Lake, Alberta!!

Yes, so long as you have some 'plain' water for at least 4 glasses!!

THIS!!!! Protein should be around 80 - 100 grams/day (unless you have Kidney issues or other health issues) Fibre should be around 30+ grams/day I am always looking for more lean protein and fibre foods, fibre is tougher than protein for me, so I add it to my shake in the morning!!

Awesome!! So excited for you! Keep moving and keep losing!:smile:

Vitamin D & Vitamin B12 both help with mood and energy. You can find both of them easy and take up to 1000 mg of the vit D!! Find the B12 that dissolves under the tongue (works better). Those and water and sleep!!:yawn:

I have tried both and I LOVE the Oikos - the flavors are great and you don't know you are eating healthy. My hubby never ever ate yogurt and will eat 1/day of the Oikos. (Black Cherry is my fav)

I am sure it is possible, just like not everyone is meant to be a basketball player, a skier, etc.. That is why there are lots of options to get and stay active, it is not all about running, unless you WANT to be a runner.

This is me too!

I am so very happy for you!!

I am very interested to know what herbal medication you are on!! I have been on high synthroid meds since 1992 - any help would be great! Thanks = Shellie

I have drank Diet Coke for way too many years (since it first came out and we would drive down to the states to bring back cases of it) !! and lots of it some days. Last year I did switch to caffeine free diet coke, as I am getting older I find the caffeine does affect me know so I can still drink it in the evening for my…

One day at a time, One hour at a time, One minute at a time. My husband and I had our last cigarette the first Wed of Aug 2011 ~~ I looked at him and said, I am done, I am not buying anymore smoke, if you want to you can!! That was it ~~~ it hasn't been easy! The not buying them was actually easier than I thought, but the…

Alberta Girl!! Central Alberta - Sylvan Lake!

Hi, I am from Alberta Canada, 46 yy (years young) married with 2 children (still at home) 2 step children a and 2 dogs, so quite similar!! LOL Would love to have another friend!!

I have my moms recipe for her borscht, but have never made it. It has been too long since I had it, but a very very healthy soup.

For DVD's I really like the Chris Freytag or Leslie Sansone, they are easier on my knees and I am not very co-ordinated. I have about 10 Walking ones - Usually Walmart for $5. I know it doesn't change it up lots, but I don't fall on my face trying to do them. :laugh:

We have been eating these weekly for years and years!! I don't know about daily, but they are very very healthy in so many ways. The easiest way to cook them is to cook them like a baked potatoe and peel them or cut them in half and scoop them out. Yum yum, bake a few extra, you can freeze them.

So long as you are consistent, meaning that you are trying 3 - 6 times/week ~~ You will notice improvement, even at 10/15 min sessions through out the day. Keep moving and you will notice a difference in endurance and breathing and moving. You are great and praise yourself for starting!:happy:

The tv is a great distraction from looking at the clock!! My elliptical, bike and treadmill are in my family room!! I record shows all week long and watch them while I work out, or put a dvd movie on. Have fun and start burning!!:bigsmile: Today I am proud I put my pedometer on and have been doing laps around the store…

I have had an extremely low thyroid since Oct 1992. Still working at trying to feel good most of the time. I am on Synthroid because I can't get Armour where I am, and they don't want me switching all around. I am always looking for more natural help and finding a way to feel 'good' every day. The best thing really is…
