I'm looking for a few more active/supportive friends. I'm in my late 40s and fighting to stay fit and healthy. Feel free to add me if you like!

I'm not 50 yet, but I'm 47 if that is close enough, lol. Feel free to add me.

Welcome, I'm also looking to add in some new friends. Feel free to add me!

I'm also back on the wagon, so to speak. I am trying to get into the routine of logging too. Feel free to add me.

Hi, I've had Hashimoto's for 30 years. My Son was also diagnosed with it 10 years ago. He was 7 at the time. I struggled for years trying to find a Dr. That would treat me as a person not a number. I too only took T4 for years and had chronic symptoms. I am now on a natural thyroid that has a lot of aT3 and my Dr. Just…

Hi, I am doing the same thing, trying to recommit after 2 surgeries in 2015 and gaining some weight back as a result. Yeah, it was a difficult year...anyway I saw in your post that your hypothyroid, I am as well., so I know about the weigh loss journey in that area also. If you're still looking for some nonjudgmental,…

I lost weight for a while doing the same thing- not watching fat, carbs, protein, etc. while staying at 1200 calories. I didn't eat fast food, but I ate too much of other things. Eventually my weight loss stopped, and I found once I reached maintenance mode it was hard to be disciplined. I also wasn't cutting fat, meaning…

I use a peep as well as a kisser button. Between the two I know I am lining up to exactly the same spot every time and my accuracy and grouping got better. Now if only I could find something that stops the shakes when that turkey or deer walk by!

I will see if I can still handle the draw weight that I'm set at, 50 lbs. Haven't done much due to the shoulder thing. I may have to drop it back to 42 our minimum weight for deer, and readjust my sight which I hate messing around with. I guess I better try to start doing some high rep bent-over rows and try to work my way…

I am the same, interested in what others recommendations are. Even after upping my calories to 1600 I am still hungry especially in the evenings. If I go any higher I gain.

Something you may want to research is raw soy vs cooked soy product. I have heard some say that cooked soy is ok to consume with thyroid medications but that raw isn't. I don't eat any soy just as a precaution, knowing that it can potentially interact with my medication and render if less effective.

Amazing accomplishment!

Hi I am on quite a bit, and always willing to help and support. Add me if you would like.

I have issues with too much gluten filled products. If I eat a lot of bread, pizza crusts, pasta, that kind of thing it totally upsets my digestive system and makes me bloat horribly. I think like someone suggested, eliminating each food group for a week or two will give you a good idea as to what is bothering you or…

I buy my tahini from a Mediterranean foods store, it's imported and I love the flavor, don't know if that makes a difference or not. I also add things like jalapeños, pimentos, sun dried tomatoes, roasted garlic.

I will go out but probably only during shotgun season this year April 17th- May 31st. I can't pull a bow back right now, shoulder is still messed up, seeing an orthopedic doc on the 16th. I am so bummed because this is my favorite time to bow hunt, spring turkey!!! Saw some all puffed up in the backyard last weekend.

That's awesome info, kinda what I was hoping to learn about myself with it. I saw that my entries on MFP did finally sync up with fitbit. It is definitely an end of the day thing where everything catches up. So, I won't even bother looking into the number until around 10pm, which doesn't really help you during the day, but…

I am on board with you!! I just got the fit bit flex too, I was wondering the same thing. It's really confusing because it doesn't log your workouts on your home page like other apps. I box for my workouts, and it seems to pick up most of that, but the calorie burn is still off from what my HRM usually states. So, I just…

IDK if I'm a hottie or whatever, but have been told I don't look like I'm 45 nor act like it. I never want to be one of those that complain and hide from life. Embrace your age and keep moving and experiencing it!

I think It's a good topic. My brother in law has a faulty heart and one day may be on that needed donor list- so it's important to those that have to live it or have a dear friend or loved one that may need it as a precious gift of life one day. I am listed as an organ donor and also as a bone marrow potential match donor.…

LOL, too funny. Just make sure you shave. Removal might be a bit painful otherwise. :tongue:

It's been tough for me to figure out how to maintain because as some said, the old habits creep in. I have gained some back, then lost it again, usually staying within 7 to 10 lbs of my original goal. But it's not really something that you can just relax on once your there-it's still a lot of watching things. After losing…

Pretty hair and eyes!

There are actually lots of recipes out there specifically for green smoothies. They are very nutritious. Same as eating them in a salad.

You could try the cocoa crack recipe and add peppermint extract to it and see how it turns out... 8Tbsp coconut oil 8 Tbsp dark cocoa powder 4 packets of stevia 1Tbsp extract of choice. (I used orange but try peppermint!) 32 truffle wrappers 1 packet of stevia or I used xylitol powdered sugar to dust the tops of the candy…

Hi, I have hypothyroid, have since I was 17 and I'm now 44, but no PCOS thankfully. I've read some things that do say that those two issues can be inter-related as well as the infertility and hypothyroid. Really your whole body depends on it's endocrine system to be able to function properly. I would recommend a book…

I took a decent white tail buck during rifle season. My son did as well within 15 min of me. It was a good day. We have a lot of great venison meat this year!

Pack animals need a sense of belonging. I love my pups, but I have to say it's so easy to just have my cats poop in a box when it's 5 below zero and I don't want to go outside...

I have had to eliminate gluten from my diet. I have discovered that this alone has helped my bloating issues even with the whole monthly thing. I am not sure if you are referring to the monthly deal, or in general with odd foods and travel etc. If it's just that, Gas-ex works, or water with lemon can help with bloating…

Well, I have a regular buck tag for our area for rifle, which has a bonus tag for a doe because of over-population. Then I have a state wide archery for a buck and antlerless. I have a statewide for another Buck and Doe (hunters weapon choice in season). My Husband has the same. We have never taken over 5 total in a…
