You look amazing! Great job!!

T3 = 109 T4 = 1.15 Thanks for the video! Definitely what I was looking for because that's what I was thinking. Between the weight loss and the high TSH.

Thanks again! I will post my T3 and T4 numbers tomorrow. I was reading that weight loss can also elevate these numbers as well, that it is better to evaluate ur numbers once weight has stabilized because fat cells and the triglycerides within are being burned and going into the bloodstream. Admittedly I would love to…

Also, as far as how I am feeling... I have definitely been exhausted and today appear to have developed a chest cold. I have to admit that stress may also have an impact on me right now. I work full-time, have a full-time college schedule, a hubby and five kiddos... it's definitely a stressful time. I did get started on…

Thank you guys so much for the responses! I was definitely alarmed. I found it interesting that the doctor did not comment on the fact that my TSH was 4.88 (I had to look online to see how it was an issue), she noted that my cholesterol was elevated from a year ago and that the prescription for the statin was enclosed.…

You are right about this being the only body you will get. That's probably a realization that kicked me in the butt to just get started in turning things around. Best of luck to you. You will do great as long as you keep faith in yourself and remember that ultimately, "YOU deserve this. " :)

Thanks guys! Sorry, I thought my diary was already open. It should be now, the thing with my diary is sometimes I just log something to know what I had and I have seen in some cases the carbs isn't right but I leave it since I mentally track my carbs. I have never tried an Atkins processed product - snack, frozen, shake,…

Hey all! I have been low carbing since 5/23. I'm down about 15lbs, but have just watched my body fat fluctuate between 42% (start) and 38.9%(lowest). Fluctuates daily between those two numbers. I may not be getting enough veggies/leafy greens in but I try to have a cup of steamed broccoli (with butter) with my dinners.…

If I'm swimming hard to keep my head above water and I have someone pulling me down to drown with them, I'm sorry but I have to let go for me. I deserve that, I'm sure you do too! You can't control other people. You control you: your actions and your decisions. Friendship is at least a common respect for each other to meet…

I can appreciate how you feel. I started with the mentality that junk is the devil so that I could work my mind to searching and being happy with healthier choices. It helped me a lot. I can now look at junk as... not necessarily the devil, but I can learn to savor a smaller bit and be satisifed. I have also found that my…

I like this :) Well said, hehe.

HAHA!! This so happened to me when I went to Subway (I don't eat lunch out very often). I had all my calories entered into my diary as I ordered. I asked for "just a little bit of light mayo" and the girl went to town on my sammich! It took long enough for me to squeal in angst! "Little bit" does not equal 4 lines lady...…
