That's great advice! My TSH wasn't treated until it got to 7-something, and even then when I got referred to my endo, he told me I could just stop taking the levotyroxine, and not to be referred back until my TSH was 8 or above. I couldn't believe what I heard, levothyroxine was finally making me feel better and now they…

No, no. My TSH is now normal with the levo, they're just not sending me to the specialist until the TSH is 8 or above 8. I don't remember how good my T4 was, I guess it was just in the normal range but I have to check the tests. I do remember reading that there was free T3 present. Thank you for your advice about the…

Use the fitness center every morning (unless you suffer fron sea-sickness) do cardio daily and enjoy the food and everything the cruise has to offer!!! There's not much walking to do on board, or while on land tours, that's why i suggest using the fitness room. Enjoy!!!

Sweetie, being thin won't make you happy! Happiness is a chosen state of mind, it is not something only slim people feel. But certainly, finally being at peace with yourself and knowing that you're not punishing your body by eating tons of crap will make things easier. You'll be able to live life to its fullest, and you…

I am anemi and was told to eat lots of mussels and clams. :)

I weighed myself this morning and it was just as I feared: not a single gram lost. But well, it'll be a matter of time until i lose the next chunk. I can't do any better, i'm eating quite clean, it might have somethin to do with my hypothyroidism, who knows... I'll keep on working hard at it, hopefully i'll see that my…

I lost absolutely nothing. So my numbers are Sw:62.8 kgs(138.45lbs) CW: 62.8 kgs(138.45lbs) *sigh* Congrats to all those who got good results this week! Keep on working hard! :D And have an awesome week and be happy :)

Ahh nice!!! Thank you very much!

Thank you adini749! Yes,i know about the recipes section and it's very useful. The problem is that it will only give you the sodium of the ingredients you use, but not the salt you would add to it manually. That's the kind of sodium i worry about XD I'm seriously thinking on stopping to add salt completely and see if my…

I have drank diet coke or diet fanta from day 1. It never made me feel hungrier and has never affected my weightloss. I knew it was the last thing i was going to be able to get rid of, so I'm still fighting to ditch the diet coke as well. I'm trying to only drink water now, because it's loaded with artificial sweeteners…

It went great for me! I sticked to my plan, I included my cheat day, logged everything,weighed everything, i felt great all week. Exercise went great except on thursday, when i couldnt strength train because i was so sore from running on sunday. I did everything as expected. i'll weigh myself tomorrow but it looks like the…

I started my journey (officially) at 231.48 lbs, but I'm sure I actually weighed more than that. When I finally got the courage to get on the scale it was like two months after I started dieting. The journey seems long at the beginning, and the number on the scale feels like a smack on the face, but you have to go one step…

yep, use a good moisturizer according to your skin type. For instance, you don't want to get any acne worsen by putting oily moisturizers when you have oily skin or put a cream that's not effective enough for your dry skin

Maybe they really do think you look too skinny now! It's hard to adjust to a drastic body image change. If you looked "fuller" for a long time then they probably got so used to that that they need time to get used to the new you. Your mom is probably worried about you, and your sister might just be jealous. You might be…

I agree with those who said that helping in the kitchen would be the best idea. Have you tried talking to your family and announcing that you're starting a healthy lifestyle and wanting to commit to it? have you told them what you think about their eating habits? are they willing to accept your lifestyle change? if so, and…

If you're still losing weight,buy things that would be easy to alter yourself (say for example,that they only need a straight stitch to make them tighter). For example pencil skirts (if the weather allows you to use them), things that barely fit now, so that they'll look great for three months or so. But i know how you…

I'm feeling unusually cold this year as well. It's the first year I'm glad the weather is milder than usual! (I LOVE cold weather) I hope your symptoms get relieved when they find out the right dose for you!

Thank you!!! I'll get my blood pressure tested tomorrow at the drugstore just in case, and I'll call my GP though they don't usually take calls except those from patiens ho are going through a serious illness. I'll also see if my husband can check my pulse while I'm sleeping without waking me up or startling me XD And yes,…

Good idea, thank you! And Trotters and Pixie, thank you as well :)
-
Wow, thank you all and each one of you for the ideas and comments! I'll take a look at those products and programs! Until we move away to a different place we're a little crammed where we live so yes, it's going to be tough to find enough space to exercise without the risk of breaking something (furniture, ornament or bone…

I wonder if it's possible to have hypo symptoms since childhood but still not developing hypo until reaching 25-31 years of age? Because i've had all the hypo symptoms since i reached puberty at 9, but all my lab tests were normal until i turned 31 Constipation, constant hair loss (lots of hairloss!!!), weight gain, brain…
-
Thank you both! Debbylee22, the problem is that my other levels (the t4 and the others, i don't remember them) were fine. The only thing that was altered was my TSH. I think that's what subclinical hypo is (I THINK :) ) but i'll talk to my doctor about it. I read the info on that site a few days ago, i'll still ask my…

Thank you! My heart does race quite a bit while lifting hard, and for some reason mfp wasn't giving me any extra calories by entering the exercises. I might just ignore those calories and just enter the exercises to keep track of them. Thanks for the link, i'll go check it out :)

Thank you all! I was dissapointed after talking to my friend (a body building fan), because I might have to leave the gym because I can't afford ghe membership anymore. She made me think I was going to lose all progress made on my body if I didn't attend the gym. I'm not interested in body building as an activity, but I…

awww I miss skating so much!!! where I live now there are no rinks. In that pic you look a lot like me when I used to skate!. Sorry for the Off-Topic everyone!

no problem!!! :)

you might need to build strength in certain muscles. i used to not to be able to stand on one leg during the final stretching and relaxation part of my cardio classes. i was always the one losing my balance. After a few months of doing it everyday some muscles must have gotten stronger because I can keep my balance…

Mine is to get a job!

If you tend to accumulate fat in that area, that's one of the last places you'll burn the remaining fat from. And you know, when there is fat it's hard to see the muscles. Instead of judging by the mirror, suck in the belly and make the abs as hard as possible while standing, and try to feel the muscles with your fingers.…

wow! you can really tell the difference! well done :D keep it up! you're doing awesome :D
