Check out Mary Shoman's website. She has a lot of good insight to thyroid problems. I have hypothyroidism, it fluctuates at different times of the day when the blood test is done, not sure if you had them both the same time of day?

Great Job!

Fresh foods cost more, but think of it this way, medical bills from eating bad food cost even more than the good, fresh foods I built my first box garden this weekend...hopefull it will help with the insane prices for fresh vegetables and I can control the quality, and what is added to the soil, etc.

Most Insurances will allow you to see a specialist. When my Dr. wasn't getting the whole picture, I informed her I wanted a consult with an endocrinologist. She wasn't thrilled about it, but she did send me. Didn't take long to get proper treatment and feel better!

I agree...I use Chocolate Covered Katie a LOT as I love sweets as well! I love the Samoa Babies....they really do taste a lot like my favorite Girl Scout Cookie. I also make the PB Breakfast Pudding in the morning at least 3 days a week. :heart:

Are you eating enough? Sometimes if you don't eat enough calories, you will lose weight at a slower rate.

Nuke them for 5 minutes, then put 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 5 pumps of 0 calorie butter spray, and a tablespoon of raw honey on top.

That looks good!

I LOVE to swim! I do laps about three times a week for 45-50 minutes each time. It not only boosts your stamina, but it tones you like crazy!

That's really great! Keep up the good work!

I hear ya. I really wonder if most endocrinologists focus more on diabetes and slept through the classes on thyroid issues. The problem is, they look at things in a black and white way. There is no black and white answers to thyroid issues. Each person is different. I feel your pain. I have the cold, brittle nails, losing…

I was 19 From Iowa, USA

Amen!

It happens, and then we move on. I think that you are OK, as you could probably afford to gain a couple of pounds. Binging is a hard habit to break. As for all the people out there sniping about you trick-or-treating, I would pay no mind. There seems to be some people on this site who are all about being judge and jury…

Great job! You have worked hard and put forth great effort!

I used to friend everyone, but now I just friend people that I know. Too much unrequested "advice" (criticism). I found it ironic that the people who were criticizing others the most were also the ones who had lost the least. I guess sometimes people feel empowered in their anonymity. Bottom line is, I got rid of all the…

One scoop Right Whey protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 2 Tbsp PB2, and a frozen banana cut into chunks. Blend in blender. Tastes like ice cream! And for breakfast, no less!

Could you possibly be overdoing the weightlifting?

Just checking in...I am 49, will be 50 in February. Did an overhaul of my exercise and eating habits. Feel much better, and younger too! WIll enjoy sharing tips and thoughts with everyone in this group.

I could barely move off the couch. Weight gain, and losing the outer part of my eyebrows....and YES, brittle nails.....oh, and lump in my neck.... :frown:

That's great! I agree that this is one of the easiest ways to lose....I feel like I eat all the time, and I have lost over 25 pounds....:drinker:

Oh, MY! Does she weigh less than you?

I have found in my own experiences that some older people can tend to be very blunt and mean. Not all, mind you, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the times they grew up in, etc.? At any rate, I think you are doing GREAT. Keep doing what you have been doing.......

I think that the baby is going to be the key to the world's survival. I think that it will be born with some sort of immunity that they will find out when it gets bitten, and a vaccine will be derived from the baby's antibodies. Unfortunately, that story line has been used a few times, so hopefully they come up with…

I weigh once a day, I bought a cheap little IKEA scale for 7.99 and use that, when I get up in the morning. I also use the one at the gym if I go that day.

You can look at mine if you want. I was wondering what you usually eat for breakfast?

You may add me if you like. I am a sugar addict and am on the 1200, and have lost 24 lbs so far. :bigsmile:

That's great!!!:drinker:

Foggy brain, weight gain, and feeling cold!
