Green tea is packed with antioxidents i believe, i drink it every day.

Thanks Garry, ive thaught of enrolling my daughter in a fitness camp, but itll cost about 6 grand a month, and obviously thats to much for me. All i can do is just do my best to keep on top of things. Carol

Oh ya, im hypothyroid since 14, (Im now 50), so ive been takeing meds forever! My dosage is low though, but its amazing even at a low dose, if i miss a few days, i'll do nothing but sleep.

I know for a fact that prednisone will make your weigh skyrocket, my husband was on it a few years back, and he ate like a flea, and still balloned up! not to mention the fact that prednisone has other nasty side efects like irritability, BAD irritability! My advise is, if all humanly possible can your doc recommend…

Hi Scott im Carol i live in Orting Washington, a few miles down the road from you haha, if you ever need to talk im here.

Id donate to the Diabetese association, and Cancer research, both of those hit home to me, id also want to help the homeless.

honestly i think 4 lbs a week is to much, 1-2 is reolistic and wise, now when i started here i lost 4 lbs 1 week and 5 lbs the next, now was that water weight gain or was i overdueing it???

Yep im a soon to be graduate of Possitive Changes Hypnosis Center, has it worked, in some ways yes, in that ive totally changed my eating and exercise habits, now was it worth the money, i dont know???? :smile:

I checked it out from start to finish, one way, the trail is about 21 miles long, thats why i thaught maybe 1/4, or perhaps 1/2 the distance, although who knows, i may ultimately go the distance!!!!

Greetings, i to have back issues and exercise is a challenge, i find rideing a stationary bike and when the weather improves possibly the real thing, is easiest on my joints. I live by a bike trail, and my goal is to ride most of it, or at least 1/4, (Its many, many miles long), i'll have to look it up,-- by summer.

Hi i noticed your useing kgs, versus lbs. and greeted us all with gday, im going to go out on a limb here and guess your from Australia??? I live in the U.S. A, so greetings, and welcome, and if youd like to chat im here. Carol

Eye of the tiger by Survivor

Oh no question about it, my #1 fav is Eye of the tiger by Survivor!!!! :happy:

Ok so can i list sex as an exercise, its not listed in the exercise database, and how many cals burned. :blushing:

I agree, get an EKG, and get it checked by a different doctor, and dump the one you got now cuz he/she doesnt sound at all simpathetic to your feelings! My son had a raceing heart and general weakness just a few days ago, thats why this post stuck out with me, and yes hes a bit overwieght, not terribly but a bit.

Thats a very good idea Steve, something i'll think about the next time i eat out. I two was raised to finish my plate, not that my folks would use the whole "Starving people" in asia thing, just not to let it go to waist, course granted mom did give me small portions, but i was the one who always went back for seconds! Im…

I to am an emotional eater, bordom is my biggest enemy, i know i should get busy when im bored but that doesnt happen to much. We can do this, dont try to take on to much at once, take baby steps.

Yes thyroid does play a role in gaining weight, i was diagnosed when i was 14, but i currantly take a very LOW dose, still if i dont take it, im sleeping all the time. For us folks with Thyroid issues, i wish i had some advise, we just have to take it 1 day at a time, watch your caleries, and make any adjustments you may…

It sounds good i'll have to try it, thanks. Carol :smile:

So far im the only Washingtonian, not DC but in the Pacific Northwest, and i know there are others in my state on this site. Its to bloomin cold out, weve had some snow, but not so much were im at in Orting, mostly in the higher elevations. Carol :smile:
