@simmonsbees and @skinnyutahgurl - your replies have been super helpful! Thank you! My TSH is still really suppressed at 0.05 but my T4 crashed to 8! I've just had another set of bloods done so should get the results this week. 🙂

Thank you for your reply 🙂 definitely have Grave's. I initially lost 12 kgs amongst all the other symptoms, and my endo has put me on the block and replace treatment hence the carbimazole and levo. The weight gain had been since being on medication, I've put on what I lost and more! At the moment my symptoms are not…

hey! I'm 41 now, but it was approaching my 40th and having had 3 boys, i had to admit to myself that I was definitely not looking good, or feeling good. I realise now how much I took for granted the ability to just cut back for a few days to shed any excess in my 20's. It is harder now and requires more thinking, but that…

Just WOW!!!! what an inspiration you are Jess, thanks for sharing :-D and I have followed you on Instagram

Hey :-D I'm 41 and have been on MFP for 18 months or so,I logged religiously for 400 days and then I lost my posting mojo! well, I'm back and am also looking for some more MFP buddies, especially some running ones. I still need to lose another 10/12 lb. Feel free to add me :-)

we use a vegan protein powder, a mix of pea and hemp or brown rice. There are a good few brands out there, but quite expensive. HTH

Thank you for sharing your amazing story, sat here with tears in my eyes! <3 x

my top 5.... 1) Learn to listen to YOUR body.... what works for someone else may not (probably not!) work for you 2) Train your brain.... 3) Steer clear from 'diets' 4) Any exercise is better than no exercise 5) Practice mindfulness and gratitude daily <3

I am REALLY happy to have read this, thank you for sharing!

Without seeing your diary, my first reaction is that you are at towards the lower end of a healthy weight for your height, I would guess that your body is at a weight where you would have to make unhealthy choices to lose any more. x

I am doing a fitness instructor course and I was teaching a client the elliptical, in the manual there was a NB about elliptical foot, I didn't even realise it was recognised ! just do a few ankle circles or flexion/extension of the ankle and it will quickly pass.

Thanks! :happy:

I wish I'd taken a proper before/after pic, but this should give an idea :-)

Thank you :-D it feels good to have my health in a good place.... Still, it's always going to be work in progress x

a woman after my own heart lol! dr who, true blood, vampire diaries, grimm,ANYTHING with Simon Pegg..... the list goes on ....:glasses: I love MFP and I wouldn't be as successful with my diet and fitness without it.

I've just gone back to eating meat after 5 years of being a vegetarian.... since upping my running and doing more distance I was struggling with energy and recovery, plus i was craving beef big time ( i didn't really like beef before becoming a veggie lol) I feel so much better with some meat in my diet.... i now eat fish…

Exercise is specifically a *planned* activity above normal day to day activities ( regardless of duration/exertion), so if you did a 35 minute walk as part of your normal routine it wouldn't be classed as exercise if you get what I mean.

when starting free weights get your form 100% before worrying about how heavy your weights are..... don't injure yourselves
