Love these posts and your commitment to inspire others to get up and move!

My endo told me to take selenium with dinner.

This.

I loved Armour thyroid from 2004 until 2008, but then they changed the formula. It hasn't worked for me ever since. I cannot regulate my thyroid with the amounts. I need 128mg (which is a little over two grains). Two grains on it's own isn't enough and two and a quarter grains is too much. Armour doesn't allow enough…

I understand the motivation to do so, but eating the same foods day after day can make you vulnerable to developing food allergies and even in rare cases autoimmune disorders. I know this because it happened to me. I don't recommend it.

3 - 4 grams a day. my capsules are high dose (1.2g per capsule).

please tell him. it's so important in a marriage to communicate -- even when it may feel a little awkward. he cannot read your mind, and the conversation might bring you closer :)

I have a Galaxy XIII and love it! I understand the Apple battery is a bit better but that's only because the Samsung processor is more advanced and primed for streaming live television, so it has to be more robust, hence draining more battery. Even so, I get about 8 hours per full battery charge.

I'm having an MRI to rule out a labral tear in my left hip. I've had the pain for years, and I have the same issue -- can only exercise every week (strenuous) because it hurts so bad afterwards. Sorry we're in the same boat. If it's a labral tear, I'm going for the surgery. This is no way to live! I don't know anything…

I typically drink a lot more than 8 glasses a day -- sometimes even 13 or 14 glasses a day. I get incredibly thirsty if I don't. I'm 5'5" and 110 pounds.

When your body hurts, listen to it! Take an active recovery day -- go for a twenty minute walk and allow the sore parts to rest. When you push through soreness, usually technique is compromised. It sounds like you are just starting out, so take it easy! How terrible would you feel if you developed a strain from pushing too…

how about purchasing a heart rate monitor so you have an exact burn? i'm 5'5' and in 30 minutes, i burn about 200 calories. but it depends on the level of intensity. also, the intensity of the class usually slows during the last half or third of the class, so it's too hard to guess. you also need to take into account if…

Julian's Bakery low-carb breads http://www.julianbakery.com/ I love the gluten free version (smart carb #3) -- only 73 calories per slice. It's heavy and dense. Love it! Before I went gluten free, I used to love the smart carb #1, but now that's off limits. :/

It's beyond "rude" -- they are trespassing, which means they are breaking the law. Call the cops next time you hear them, and then you won't have to say a thing TO the trespassers themselves.

I'm no expert but I think you could change your setting (from sedentary to lightly active or whatever). Or you could use a HRM and track the exact amount you burn.

Sounds like you are really suffering -- and that you're ready to heal the bingeing. It definitely comes from a place deep inside you, and this is where therapy can really help. I know you said you cannot afford it, but there are many therapists out there who would rather work on a sliding scale and get paid a fraction of…

Thank you for all of your feedback. Sounds like many of you have had success with waiting 30 minutes. That seems a lot more doable than a full hour. My labs have been wonky lately, and maybe if I'm consistent with the 30 minutes, we'll see some improvement. Thanks again!

On paper this sounds like a great idea, however when I was on crutches, I over did it and then got other injuries from overcompensating. In other words, because my shoulders were not used to supporting my body on crutches, I ended up hurting my shoulders. I understand this is pretty common, so it might benefit you (or…

I'm so sorry to hear about your injury! As one who's had my share (and who is still recovering from a leg injury from months ago), I understand how frustrating and debilitating it can be -- and on so many levels. I urge you to start strength training -- you can do sets of push ups, pull ups, sit ups, etc...there is so much…

I drink between 10 and 16 glasses of water every day, so I doubt thirst is the cause, but thanks so much for your feedback :)

You guys have been so helpful! Thank you! Love your explanations as to why fruit has made me so hungry. It makes so much sense, and I really appreciate the suggestions about alternate fruits (apricots, etc.). I usually don't eat fruit because years ago my doctor told me my lab tests showed I was pre-diabetic, so I've…

Thanks for your responses and suggestions. I have eaten my fruits with protein, and yet I am still hungry after eating the combinations of fruit and protein. In fact, today after eating fruit and protein mid-afternoon, I've been super hungry, and I overdid it since I had the munchies so bad! I googled it ("Why does fruit…

It does sound like he is pressuring you -- and this would be totally unacceptable to me. Sex is such a personal experience, everyone's timing is different, and for him to be pressuring you on something so personal, well, this does not bode well for your future with him. He doesn't sound like he has empathy or the capacity…

A few years ago, I drank one two liter of Diet 7-up every day. Then I met a nutritionist who basically had a cow when she heard this. So, long story short, I no longer drink it. Once a year I might have a sip, but when I do, I imagine the soda attacking and destroying my nerves, causing MS, lupus, and other atrocities. I…
