  • I've had a shocking lifelong experience with soy. I still have it occasionally but the effect it's had on my family is awful. You can read my story on this link; http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/553749-soy-healthy-and-kids Soy is in pretty much everything as they use it as thickening agents and heaps of other…
  • Hi! Just found this! GW 251 (currently 259)
  • Just up your intake of Executive Stress B vitamins, say about 2xday even morning and night (as it's short term it shouldn't be an issue, if you feel you're coping back it off a bit) then you'll be a happy dieter! Not a grumpy one!:laugh:
  • My hand is up!:tongue: Current wt=259lb Goal wt=251 The first step to the new (and hopefully pregnant) me!:wink:
  • Or go to a Naturopath like I did, you may respond to natural therapy better if you state has a licensed practitioner! I felt like crap and packed on the pounds for years. My endocrinologist didn't even pick up how fluctuating my levels were. It took a Naturopath using iridology (scientifically based) who picked how bad I…
  • Hey my hubby and I are both relatively new vegetarians. He's needing some support as he's a nurse on nightshift mostly so he'd love to meet other guys who are like-minded. You can add him as a friend; Rejewce88. He'd be writing this if he wasn't at work right now!!!
  • yes, thanks! some good ideas, not sure how the children would handle them, we'll see I guess!
  • Pack the cinnamon into everything! I have cinnamon tea, cinnamon in food, use coconut oil for cooking and the flavoured stuff (chocolate, vanilla, cashew flavoured coconut butters) for anything you can get your hands on!!! I recently took off 4.5inches off my belly just doing this, and I'm not even on meds for my thyroid…
  • I want to be 170lb. Current weight is 259lb from back to back post pregnancy weight:sad: :blushing: I'm a large frame so I don't want to be skinny though!:laugh: :noway:
  • Hi! I've just discovered coconut oil and butters and it's helped me immensely! I weighed myself yesterday and although I didn't lose anything on the scales I lost a whopping 4.5inches off my waistline in a week! I really believe it has helped boost my thyroid up 100% because I'm actually going through a naturopath to…
  • Well done! Clothes are the first thing you need to rely on. They tell you the truth. The 5lbs you lost will be the ones that are gone forever. We live in a Microwave world and want everything yesterday unfortunately. The slow journey is the right journey. Add me and we can support each other.:flowerforyou:
  • Add me! I'm here to help and support! I lost my Dad then my nephew (23yr) so I understand. I recently went vegetarian and am learning a stack about healthy eating! Let me know how I can help! Melissaxx
  • check out Dr John McDougall. He believes a diet high in the "right" carbs helps you lose weight! www.drmcdougall.com
  • I would absolutely go that route if our state licensed naturopaths. Grrrr...If we ever live where we have access to one, both hubby and I will be there - me for my thyroid and hormone issues and him for his ADHD! [/quote] Wow! They don't license them? I guess living in Australia is a good thing! The main herb he's put me…
  • Hey Miss Sparrow! Big hugs on your loss. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a child at 23wks. I've lost two at 6 & 13weeks. I think you're amazing with your attitude to get on top of your health and wellbeing to conceive again! Good on you! I too want to have one more child (I have 3, boy girl twins age 8 and a boy…
  • Hi, I'm Melissa and I've just joined MFP and this group. I was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism but funnily enough NOT via doctors and endocrinologists (however I did use all these routes to try and find out WHY I felt so awful!), but via my Naturopath. He told me on my first meeting and through iridology. He put me…
  • See a naturopath. One who does iridology. (Don't be sceptical, it's actually a scientifically based practise) You could have a thyroid problem or need a boost to your pituitary gland. I did! I even went to an endocrinologist who said I wanted to "blame" my weight gain on a gland condition. All I needed to do was lose…
  • What are you actually blowing it on? Sweet? Salty? Fatty/oily? You could have substitutes that are healthy, like for sweet Chocolate coconut butter (awesome stuff tastes like fudge) it helps burn off fat, it gets rid of Fat/sweet cravings and has a host of unbelievable benefits! Google it. I got mine from Cocopure.com.au.…
  • I completely relate but mine is through fluid tablets! I'm up at around 4am too (often for the second round visit!) and quite often can't get back to sleep. I find if I go and either drink some milk or eat half a banana it's enough just to settle my stomach back down to go back to sleep. I'm a bit worried about upping my…
  • I have heard that eating Coconut oil helps shift unwanted body fat particularly belly fat. I just bought some today as I've got belly fat that has now seen it's last days (back to back pregnancies, one twin birth one single), so if you Google it and do a bit of research see what you think. Keep me posted with your choice,…
  • See a naturopath! I went and found out I had a thyroid condition (too slow) and my pituitary gland needed a huge boost! Both of these things are barely noticeable in the scheme of things but can sabotage your efforts HUGELY and basically stop all weightloss efforts if not ADD pounds! So get yourself checked out. I did and…
  • Visit a naturopath, see if you're dealing with any hormone issues before you start. Hormones can stuff up your progress from word go making it incredibly frustrating if you can't lose the weight you want. I went today and was told I had a thyroid condition and my pituitary gland needed a huge boost. He's put me on a herbal…
  • Matzah Brie (scrambled eggs with broken up matzah) and a cup of black dandelion tea OR Pumpkin Quinoa Pancakes drizzled with maple syrup and a shmear of Nuttelex Kosher Marg! mmmmmmmmmm..........................
  • Hi Kim, I'm also new! Just started yesterday through recommendation. I'm married to a nurse so I understand how it makes life HARD! I'm here to encourage you and I'm hoping you can encourage me! Let's do this together!!! Add me!
  • Don't worry! I've just figured it out! Thanks!
  • Thanks people! One question, since I've only been on here about 1/2 hr, I have no idea how to "add" people! Sorry to be an ignoramus, could someone guide me on how to do this? (and I call myself "wisewoman!!!LOL)
  • This is wonderful! Thanks for your tips!
  • Wow! That's awesome! Thanks!
  • Thanks! I can't get Morning Star in Australia but I can get Quorn and Fry's vege Mock meat products. So I think I'll start hoing into them!
