  • I'll send you a friend request. :) I new to this website too and need more friends to give me a hard time about my food diary. ;) I really don't know what's healthy, so I'm not following any type of diet plan. Suggestions welcome! I am hypothyroid, so losing weight is a real struggle for me. I want to lose about 50 lbs. I…

  • I believe thyroid treatment is very individual. I don't believe there is a "one-size-fits-all" thyroid medication that makes every person who takes it feel better. With that being said, I would like to comment that FOR ME the all natural medication Armour has worked best FOR ME. My doctor and I are still trying to get to…
