  • My health insurance actually paid for me to sit down with a dietitian, which was really helpful. Here was what I learned that I needed: Eat 5 meals a day (3 meals, 2 snacks), eat no more than 15g net carbs per meal (not required to eat any if I don't want to, but should eat some), should always eat protein at each…

  • Hi all, feel free to add me. I'm looking to lose 50+ lbs, but really focusing on making lifestyle changes rather than focusing on weight loss at this point. I'm already having success both with the new mindet and with the scale, so it must be working. After health issues and my weight fluctuating for years I'm ready to put…

  • Hi Alexis, I'm Donna. Feel free to add me and do the same. I've started multiple times as well but have been pretty diligent since the beginning of the year as I'm really in need of lifestyle changes, not vanity changes (although that never hurts as a side benefit :) ).

  • Anyone have any insight on whether I should seek an endo or stick with my GP? I'm newly diagnosed (3 weeks ago) and just started 50 mcg of levo. I have an extensive family history on both parents' side with hypothyroid and not sure what others experience has been. I like and trust my GP, but want to feel better!

  • Great! Thanks. I'm going to check out those websites and resources and have added many of you as friends. Please feel free to do the same for me. Any advice you can give on whether to stick with your family doctor or find a specialist for this would be great. My mom is hypo and sees a specialist, but isn't thrilled with…
