FREEZING but content at home listening to my little ones play together. CRAP typed too soon - the battle is on..... I had better go referee.

We have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and soon another one in a few months. Great hunting dogs, great swimmers, very protective of the family ..... http://s1203.beta.photobucket.com/user/Manzan80134/media/moo_zpse3329469.jpg.html

HOLY CRAP!!! I think I get that one too. But nearing 40, I should believe that it is possible to be HOT and SEXY in your 40's. I need it and WANT it.

What is next????

Sometimes good, sometimes bad ,,, it depends on the mood and if I am actually feeling confident. Otherwise I think I look horrendous 24/7, 365 .....

I believe it is time to move on from the relationship - PERSONALLY as well PROFESSIONALLY. It sounds like he has taken you as far as HE can manage and now it is up to YOU to manage your health (emotional, physical and mental). YOU need to move on and say you had a life lesson in every sense of it. I know you believe that…

Short term goals - 1) spend quality time with my family without television/computer each night by reading books and snuggling 2) menu plan every week HEALTHY, filling meals that are nutritious to me and my family (also must make my calorie goals daily) 3) hit the gym at least 4 days a week, walk 10,000 steps a day, 10…

I want to be fit, sexy, strong, toned and above all else CONFIDENT!! I have to look at what was and what is. I have to work with what is NOW and what it CAN BE. I will NEVER be what I was in my teens, my twenties or my early 30's. My body has changed and so my vision has to CHANGE with it. I now have hips thanks to my…

Compromise! When I did work and we had our first child, I got up at 4.30 am and was at the gym by 5 am, did a 45 minute to an hour workout which included my strength training and cardio three times a week. Then in the evenings when it was possible, we as a FAMILY went for a walk with the dog. I had lost 25 lbs doing it…

I had to cancel the endocrinologist appointment today. My son woke up at 11 pm to 4:30 am with the flu soooooo i can't leave him home. I also need to disinfect the house. Next appt is in February.

Have you asked your doctor about Cytomel? It is T3 which is what T4 converts to. It may be the extra "thing" you need to feel like yourself. I have been on T3 for quite sometime and it definitely makes a difference to me. I had one doctor take me off of it and I was miserable. I changed doctors and was able to have Cytomel…

Have any of you tried the Nature-Throid? http://www.nature-throid.com/nature_throid_vs_synthetic_thyroid.php I am going to give it a go. I believe that there is too much going on with my Synthroid that it no longer acts properly. Have any of you read books by Mary Shomon? I have and follow her on FB. I find her information…

No worries! :glasses:

Try adding a smoothie with peanut butter. I do have the problem of not eating enough but I believe that is also because I do not eat breakfast. If I eat breakfast, I tend to eat more food during the day. Not sure if eating breakfast helps or not but I find it does so I am trying it. As for not being able to wrap your heads…

Can I just have several ons????

hi from Parker and sick of the cold. I wish we could have mountains, beach front property with SNOW at 70/80 degrees. What do you say?

I am going to see the doctor about changing me from Synthroid to Nature-Throid. I am hoping that will help me. I am currently on Synthroid along with Cytomel but I feel off. I see her on Monday and should have my test results later this week then I will return 8 weeks after I start the new medication to test the results. I…

there with you! I would suggest talking to a counselor and consider some anger management courses/books.

DAMN those sound amazing!!! :heart:

If this continues, consult with your doctor. I am hypothyroid and very tired all the time. I am actually heading back to the endocrinologist to have the levels tested and switch medications. I do not believe I am where I need to be in order to feel active. Also I would suggest taking a look at what calories are coming in -…

On this I would suggest a conversation with her BUT not at any place that you both consider home base. If you are at home, you are more likely to get in a much bigger/louder discussion that it needs be. Ask her why she cut everything out and if this is a temporary thing? You can not know what is happening unless you talk.…

hmmm 9 ... :tongue:

I am a stay at home mom to two - boy 5 and my little girl 3. They do keep me busy.

I go to the gym and hit the precor or the octane machines then do intervals with them. I burn a lot of calories but it also kicks my butt!!! I am seriously out of shape so it doesn't take much to kick my *kitten* though.

I have chronic pain in my lower back after multiple surgeries. Yes, I do have my muscle relaxers/pain killers but I am working on losing weight to MINIMIZE the use. Currently, after losing 15 lbs it has helped in pain being less but I also have been using Sore No More from Vitamin Cottage. But stretching my lower back,…

Please feel free to add me. I am trying to be more consistent on MFP. I am trying to motivate to working out as well healthier for myself and family. I want this year to be the year I am healthy after the past three years of pain/surgeries etc. :) This is my year!!!

HAHAHAHAHAH!!! Kids would love that.

5' 2" here. My goal is between 125 to 130. My smallest was in high school at 106 lbs but looking back with my bone structure was not healthy. I also know that with my age, two children and many surgeries I will never get to that size again. Nor do I want it. I want to be healthy and happy for my daughter. I do not want my…

Has she had a physical lately? I have hypothyroidism and it does make losing weight more difficult. I am aware of what needs to happen but it took me awhile to get diagnosed. Before I was diagnosed, I had gained over 30 lbs. Once I was diagnosed and on the medications, I began losing weight with the proper nutrition and…
