Don't want to look thick :huh: , but what is 'spinning'? I like the idea of the protein type powders/drinks, but I always seem to be over on my portein and under on my carbs and fat. I even added a teaspoon of olive oil to my low fat milk (shake well) one day to get my fats up, hopfully a little more healthfully than…

As I said before, it was thought at first that I had post partum depression. The day that I really knew something was off was when I had a headache all day. I also felt as thought my top was strangling me, and then noticed that my neck was swollen at the front (goiter). This just happened over the course of a day. Just…

Just wish that cross-stitching was an aerobic exercise and that chocolate had zero calories. :tongue:

I've been there :explode: Actually, in extreme cases it can lead to mania, even death, if not treated. My daughter nearly murdered my doctor when he suggested that I might try seeing how I would be without Thyroxine for a while. "You don't have to live with her," was her comment. :mad: Needless to say that idea was put out…

I'm back. Try (thyroid.about.com) for info and advice. :happy: Weight loss – found this, Thyroid Diet Secrets: Are You Eating Enough Calories to Lose Weight? By Mary J Shoman. It does not advocate going on a 1200cal diet or less as thyroid patients are particularly susceptible to the "hoard mode". She takes the usual…

I have had hypothyroidism for over 20 years, after the birth of my first baby :smile: . It was a relief for me when I was diagnosed as I thought I was going out of my mind. At first it was put down to post natal depression, adjusting to a new country and way of life :noway: . Thank God my husband was working as a hospital…

I've said it before, but - Weight loss in pounds always looks better than in kilos. Is it about 2.2 pounds to a kilo? :grumble:

Don't know, but weight loss looks better in pounds than kilos. :ohwell:

Try sneezing with your eyes open. It's said to be impossible. :huh:

I have the same problem, but unlike you I do want to lose some weight. I tend to lose weight from my thighs and face first, thighs great :happy: but from the face can make me look ill :sad: . My hubby told me to stand on my head a couple times a day and hope it dropped to my face. :yawn: Real joker! I too, would love any…

I feel for you. :flowerforyou: Sunday I had a headache all day and a slight temp. From then on full blown cold symptoms. The only thing that's been running the last couple of days is my nose. Just don't feel up to it. :sick: My 8 year old said, "mom you haven't got 'Piggy Flu', have you?" I've been trying to keep up with…
