Googled Rodney Yee since he's been mentioned a couple times, and comments on his seriousness about Yoga were made. I think I may start with a couple of his! The beginner DVD has a full explanation of poses, etc. and are reasonably priced. Like I said, love that I can get it online, want to be able to have it on my TV in…

Thanks all! Yeah, don't want the "gimiky" yoga, so will check it out. Wanted something NOT electronic based, so I can put it on the big screen and feel like I'm "there"... don't want the mess of hooking up the computer, etc. to the TV, and my TV isn't an internet hooked up TV. Library sounds like a great place to start,…

I just started Armour after being on a levoxyl/cytomel combination. I do not have a thyroid at all due to thyroid cancer. I was on 125 levoxyl and 10 units cytomel. I'm now on 90 of Armour. I just started two weeks ago, so we'll see how it goes. I'm hoping I have the same happy stories as some of you. I was still…

Hey! I also gained about 25 lbs post TT for papillary thyroid cancer. I lost 12 last summer after extensive exercise, and use MFP (which I'm able to do during the summer because I'm a teacher). I quickly put the weight back on. I'm still always fatigued and have a difficult time losing the weight. I'm in the proccess of…

These are good ideas, thanks ladies.

And I agree with the exercise part... a couple hundred calories can add a decent snack into the mix that can hold you over :smile:

I agree with this... I usually start by 'adding' to my diet... the fresh fruits and veggies, THEN once my body gets more used to those again, I cut back on the other stuff.

Good for you! This shows strength to try but still saying you don't deserve that, let's face it, no one does. I'm glad you recognize this! [/quote] It isn't very nice what he said, and he was def. going below the belt, pun! We start counseling on Thursday, pray for us! I don't want this marriage to fail but I refuse to be…

Walking has often been my "start" exercise... i also HAVE lost weight with it... just keep at it. Also, if you're not currently exercising at all, ANY thing will help! Good Luck!

That's not awkward, that's just an epic FAIL...

In Raleigh!

...when he says the wrong name, but you decide not to correct him, because whatever "she" liked is working REALLY well.

When you have the milkshake resting between your legs and one of the boys it brings to your yard asks if he can taste it... and you really don't know WHICH milkshake he wants to taste

Meant... you want to GIVE the guys in the van YOUR candy :flowerforyou: apparently I was thinking about giving away my candy and couldn't even focus on typing.

When you realize that the guys in the van YOUR candy :devil:

I'm almost 29 now, but graduated from Florida State in 2006 :) My brother just graduated last year... GO 'NOLES! Feel free to add me if you want!

I had my thyroid removed a couple years ago due to thyroid cancer. I've FINALLY been able to drop about ten pounds but it took a LOT more effort than ever before. Someone in my thryoid cancer support group said her endo told her we have to work twice as hard to lose the weight. I do have to say though, when I had TIME to…

Any thyroid issues and dose changes will USUALLY (though not always) effect a number of things. I don't have a thyroid at all though. It may take time, but doctors will get levels figured out. It may be a little bit more of a challenge for thyroidism people to lose weight, but you CAN still do it. Just may take a little…

I didn't log on weekends at all for months, then I just started this weekend. I was like "WOW!" to myself. Between beer and pizza football days, I think logging may help me not go AS over on those days. I thought I was better of NOT logging, but we'll see... try it and see how it goes.

Personally, I feel TIME is the thing here. If it's too soon, I agree with others who said you'll start acting like a couple... there may be alcohol and sex, and a big messy explanation after that...OR one gets drunk and comes onto the other and there's a whole awkward thing...BASICALLY it's dragging out the break up. If…

Thanks to all of you! I will check out the fit, and use ice. I've done many shorter rides, but never one this long. It may just be the 30 miles :) and I WILL be icing. Appreciate the feedback!

I feel sad for you if you're thinking "a meal a week of something I 'actually' like"... I know I have a different perspective than some on here, but the same as others. Maybe because I'm only trying to lose a little more weight, or maybe because of what life has put me through...BUT if you are not liking what you're eating…

I understand this! Last week was my first week back at work full time WITH my 2nd job (I teach and tutor)... I was busy, anxious, etc. and ate a lot of crap... I logged ALMOST all of it, but was embarrased to log some. This morning I got up at 5 and eventhough I couldn't make it the gym, I told myself I'd ride my exercise…

Awesome... this does make sense. I make a million decisions a day, and I DO notice that I pick fast food because it's "easy" and yummy. I have learned to though something about stress, and maybe cortisol (?) levels or something like that, where it's biological as well. Thanks ladies.

I'm laughing so hard at this my cat is looking at me like "WTF is wrong with you humans"... I've probably burned more calories laughing at this... I wonder if I could log it (seriously, just kidding!)

I know I'm not the OP, but thanks to reading this post, I DID IT! I woke up at 5:15 and worked out! I need to get into practice, because it WAS hard (I did not "pop" out of bed like I need to at 5. I hit snooze twice but got up before it went off the 3rd time). I'm a teacher, and it's teacher work week, so I have a little…

Thanks for this post! As a teacher, this is our first teacher work day, and I'm worried about "losing" the exercise progress I've made... I have NEVER been a morning person, I've thought to myself if I just "pop" out of bed at 5, I'll be able to be done with a 45 min workout by 6, out of the shower by 6:20, and on the road…

I'm just already above protein :)

I love your advice... I do need a pedicure! And I will check out the socks, too!

Ooo, I will try the golf balls :)
