  • Curious... do you sweat? I don't sweat and what little perspiration I generate is laughable. My husband refers to my perspiration as "dewey" and then chuckles. I think he is sparing my feelings... *LOL* When in cold climates I am freezing. When in warm climates I am sufficating. Climates that are between 63 - 74 degrees…

  • The purple cabbage is minimal, about 2-3 very small slim slices. However, I hadnt heard about raw cabbage being bad for thyroid. Rats! I love raw cabbage. I have heard about broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower being a goitrogens (sp?)... all my favorite vegies. I LOVE raw broccli and cauliflower. *S* So I settle for…

  • MmmDrop, I'll cry with you, even today. ((((HUGS))) I remember those days when first starting my thyroid medication; crying, depression and hopelessness. Just hold on.... once the meds are properly administered all will be manageable again. The trick is listening to that little voice that keeps telling you, "Stick with it,…

  • Sorry, I'm late to the party... WOW! Mindy, I am where you're at right now too. Frustrating – a word that still cannot express the way I feel, and it appears nor for you either. ((((((((((HUGS)))))))) I whole heartily agree with your stating, "I AM motivated but being motivated sucks when nothing is happening." For almost…

  • I eat them too. As well as walnuts and hazel nuts and sunflower seeds; unsalted. I've been doing that since 2006 when first starting thyroid meds. No ill affects.

  • What about using honey as a sweetner? I've heard that it possesses more nutritional beneifts over raw sugar. Whats your take on this knowledge? I love teas... and drink tons of it. Non caffienated (sp) too. Can I join your party? *LOL* I refuse to give up coffee entirely... my one indulgence. I love the bitter taste and…

  • @ lappelget: WOW! So glad that you posted because reading that even a point 2 (.2) pound loss is a norm for you, is comforting to me. Because that’s the kind of loss I am experiencing… a point 1 pound here, a point 3 pound there. Then weeks can go by before another point “whatever” sparks some loss. My workout is 2-3 miles…

  • @ debbylee22: – Thank you for the welcome… it’s a pleasure meeting you. The Paleo diet promotes high protein, low carb. But I eat more veggies with my protein then required. I don’t want to get ill like I did with Adkins. I started this diet about a week ago. I also follow the Glycemic Index program too. This web link is…

  • @ lmelangley: After 36 years of battling the bulge, my patience has run thin. But you’re correct it’s what I need to possess to keep working out and eating well… that is an achievement as much as loosing weight. Yes, being healthy is the easy part to me; exercise and eat right. For me it’s wonderful to be able to actually…
