. 1 or 3 $20---just enough for dog treats and some dog food. Not much else. I already have a house keeper, so would add a chef

my doctor told me there were recent studies that found vitamin B helped increased colon cancer growth. I stopped it immediately. I had been taking it for years as I had blood clots in my let and it was supposed to help with circulation. It does, but to Cancer cells as well.

There has been a new study that stated vitamins do not benefit women and are actually harmful as you age. I suggest you get your vitamins from food and a balanced diet. MFP plan will do this for you. You can check past N.Y. Times articles on the problems with vitamins for women.

I had a bad cold (and still do, but better). So, no. spent it in bed with a runny nose and watching day time t.v. , something I never do unless I'm really sick. Went off of eating plan. Back on today. I can eat!

I have a health problem that limits the amount of exercise that I do. I walk and I do warm water movement class. I do no aerobic exercise and nothing to get my heart rate up. I am loosing weight. I think the slow walking still helps. You don't have to be Arnold (Schwartzenager --however you spell his name) to move a bit.

I am the opposite. I had really no friends in high school and was isolated. Now....I have a number of good friends and have had to drop people who were not right for me any more. I have new friends that I meet when I am out doing the things that I like. Don't get me wrong, I find it hard to reach out to people, but is…

I wish you the best. You seem to be doing all of the right things and making all of the good choices for yourself.

To celebrate, when I'm happy, with friends at a meal out. When I'm sad, when I'm alone, when I'm anxious. When I am tired. Really I will use any excuse to overeat! I must stop making excuses and listen to my tummy...full, stop!

I heard of Chia pet. That hokey thing that grows green fur when you water it. Good luck with your Chia

I am sooooo tired. I want to eat to get energy or sleep or well, guess will walk the dog. I an exhausted eater, not for stress.

sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. Listen to your body. We all react differently to meds. Sending a big hug. and a lick from Aniu, my dog

I have very little energy most of the time as I have another health issue in addition to being hypothyroid.(meds being adjusted). I just keep on moving even when I am tired. I nap. I make myself get out and walk the dog, shop, go to the museum or to a movie. Anything to get away form the refrig. I am not so hungry now that…

My son was growing lots of vegetables until he tested for lead. MAKE SURE YOU TEST YOUR SOIL FOR LEAD content. We were very surprised that his soil was not safe for young children to eat the food from. And not so great for adults either. This is in a city without industrial waste, such a surprise. He lives in a very…

In the Winter when it get dark early I eat between 6 and 6:30. When it is light outside I eat between 7 and 8:30.

Wow. really fantastic! What wonderful work you have done.

I had been hot for so many years that I now am very happy to be cold....such a treat. I wear a jacket now! I even wear a sweater too. I always plan ahead and carry warm clothes....since it is cool where I live I am used to always having a sweater or coat for the time when the fog comes into the city. Yes, plan ahead,…

Thanks, now I don't need to feel guilty when I over eat once a week!

I think you are doing great! If MFP works for you then forget about Atkins. Your doctor is just giving you an opinion, but at the same time is not being supportive of your great success. I agree with the person who said 'change your doctor'. You are making life habit changes and that is really great.

I didn't realize just how much water and inflammation I had until I had 1/2 of my thyroid out! What a difference. Toxic was the correct word for my thyroid. Less water, less hunger.....much better!

I realized a while ago that I could find a paper on any subject that supported booth sides of a health question. I stopped taking vitamins....just eat good food. (new study said they are bad for women, well that's one study. Another says they are good). I stopped weight watchers and M.D. has me calorie counting. Take Vit.…

Must try. Thanks, looks yummy!

You look really happy. Congratulations! Enjoy life!

birds singing, owls hooting, dogs barking, ducks quacking, water running in stream, trees cracking and moving...all are music to me. Walking in the park.

Thanks. It is important to keep an open mind. Too many people misdiagnosis themselves and refuse to look at other possibilities that might be causing their symptoms....i.e. everything may not be your thyroid.

Duke Ellington in after a show. Went to a restaurant and there he was. It was wonderful. I got to shake his hand.......

yes, there is a thyroid group you can join. Look under the "search" and you can add it to your message boards . I can't stand the WW meetings. Did it once many years ago, but don't like the new points and the meetings. Good luck

buy a pair of socks. Anything not to do with food. When I go to NYC in May buy something special that is one size smaller!
