Nobody seems to care when they spend $3.99 for a bag of chips or $10.00 for a box of candy but good grief ask for $4.00 for veggies & people scream. I don't think eating healthy costs any more than eating junk (unless you count fast food dollar menus-uck!) Anyhow, I'd rather pay for good, healthy food than pay the hospital…

I am 5' 7" and 194 Most of my pants are size 12 now, still have 2 pair that are 14 & still fit.

Great theme song for those lost pounds!

Excellent idea! He wants to see you fail. Kick him to the curb. You will end up being a hottie & he will still remain a loser.

Woo Hoo!!!! YOU ROCK!!!

I did Nutri-System - lost 35 lbs. Gained it abck within 2 years. I did South Beach - lost 25 gained it back within a year...see a pattern here??? Only way to lose & keep it off is cut calories, eat sensibly & exercise more. Period! Never deprive yourself of any foods (unless dr. tells you to for health reasons). Just learn…

REPORT HER!!! Either she is using or she is selling illegally. Imagine what all she is getting, either buying or being given, from other patients. Scary.

Oh, the getting rid of your fat clothes is a MUST Great advice you've offered :drinker:

My TSH on 9-25-12 is 1.18 (Reference range is 0.40-4.50) My T4, FREE is 1.3 (Reference range is 0.8-1.8) I am on 50 mcg. of Synthroid My endo is great, she believes what is "normal" for one person is different for another so she focus's on entire health issues. She was the only one to determine I was also having…

You can hit the left button and go back days to complete your food log. I do that all the time if I forget to complete a day. Also if I go away for a weekend it allows me to fill in for the days I was off. So for the day you missed here's your glory...Good Job!!!

Ryan Gosling Ryan Reynolds Harrison Ford...he might be older but Mmmmmmmmmm Jon Hamm ok I know thats 4 but I could go on...

My endocronologist told me today she wants me to get 20-30 minutes of exercise a day now in addition to my losing weight/eating better and now that my meds (synthroid for thyroid & metformin for pre-diabetes) seem to be working correctly.

I guess I still don't understand Hashimoto's. Got diagnosed a year ago. I only go thru "warm spells" occassionally. Most of the time I am cold. I also go thru tired spells. I will be exhausted & need extreme amounts of sleep for weeks then I will be ok & get by with 8 hours. I have been on synthroid about 4 months. Had…

anything containing calcium you are supposed to allow 4 hours after taking synthroid. I keep my synthroid on my night stand & take when I get up for a potty break (usually around 4 a.m.) that way when I get up I can take my other meds & have my coffee.

Krill (fish oil but a small cap that is more potent) for heart, D3 for bones, Calcium chews for bones, CoQ10 to counteract side effects of Crestor for cholestrol, Probiotics for diverticulosis...really nothing so far for supplements to the Synthroid. I keep seeing comments on boards about coconut oil, seeing endo tomorrow…

Used to LOVE chocolate, now I don't care for it. Same with cake. I can actually be satisfied with one bite & then don't want anymore.

Hey Survivor1966, I am survivor1952!!! I was diagnosed 12 years ago when I was 47 so I can relate to your situation somewhat. Mine was found on a yearly mammo, my left breast also. I had "invasive ductal carcinoma", stage 1 with 1 cancerous lymph node. I had a lumpectomy and removal of all lymph nodes. Did chemo &…

Could it be the Armour itself? I am one of the weird people who has to be very careful using "natural" meds. My body gets all out of whack. I tolerate regular prescription meds fine but natural or herbal puts my system into a tailspin. I got DX w/Hashimoto's last Oct., and an on Synthroid without any bad side effects. Just…

McSteamy (really I'd take any of the docs from Grey's Anatomy!!!)

Bought an apple cider concoction made by the Amish. Was supposed to help you lose weight, help joint/arthritis pain, etc. Hubby & I did for about 2 months and neither of us saw any benefits...other than we were out $20.00 per bottle & went through about 3 bottles!

Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds. I would be a real cougar but thise two...wow, what bodies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi & glad you're here. You can friend me. I have been on since July & lost 12 lbs. so far. 25 or 30 to go!!!

I have been losing approx. 1 lb. a week since I started. Slow but it is coming off so I am not complaining. If I would be more diligent with my exercising I am sure I'd do better. Going to try to stay walking on the treadmill tonight for the hour Grey's Anatomy is on! Anyone else want to try?

Feel free to friend me. I am going to be 60 in a few weeks. I lost 16 lb. since April (12 of them while on MFP) and I would like to get rid of another 20 or so. Short term goal 20, long term goal 30...one day at a time.

Wow, never heard about coconut oil before. Going to see endo in few weeks, will talk to her & see her views on it. I sure do learn a lot on this site. Thanks for all the info.

I have not cut out alcohol but I have cut back. I log it in and adjust my exercise and calorie intake around it.

I don't get a lunch break either, I eat at my desk. Legal? Not sure but it is what it is.

bump.

Fantastic!!! Good inspiration to keep me on track.
