This is perfect! I have some online apps and the one from werkit.com, but this one looks like the winner. Thank you so much for sharing!

I start tomorrow. I've been in and around the weights at my gym, so I'm ok, there. What I'm most nervous about are the rows, because I'm worried I'll look like an idiot trying to figure out the machine. And the prone jacknife. There is no way to make one look cool or graceful with that one, is there? I'm going to practice…

I just read it was "introduced" via Doc Oz. That explains it. Never mind. :s

I'm figuring out what I absolutely need to start at home and what I can add on as needed. Very complicated. I really wish I could just head to a gym, but I have only two slimy gyms near me (a lot of credit card fraud and shiny salesmen with 70-inch biceps who really want you to sign up, and will add in their phone number…

I totally agree with your @ButterflyBites. Other than here on MFP, I run into so much noise. Even in the books I read, they can contradict each other. My biggest beef, though, is when thyroid is blamed for every malady ever. I understand that it has a hand in a lot of things, but not everything. And I think all this noise…

Thank you, KnitOrMiss. I do need to see an endo. I'll be asking for a referral from my gp as soon as I see her. I was going to ask about whether I could try out cytomel as a secondary med for the thyroid. (I'm an herbivore, so I can't do the desiccated thyroid.) My own 12 year old daughter just started her cycles this year…

Walked 1.5 miles. MTD: 4.17

Walked 1.37 miles today.

My friend sent me this article and I thought I'd leave it here for future readers: THYROID AND CHOLESTEROL Does thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) affect cholesterol levels? by the American Thyroid Association. http://www.thyroid.org/patient-thyroid-information/ct-for-patients/vol-5-issue-12/p-3/

I've been doing a some more reading and, you're right, @CSARdiver . I had it turned around and thought that high TSH was a good thing. All things are not equal, as I had thought, therefore this could definitely be impacting my cholesterol. Thank you, @Fuzzipeg , for the directions to more info. I had come across the STTM…

1.3 mile walk today.

Ok, just got a copy of my most recent lab work. My chol/HDL ratio is 4.64. Not good. My HDL is 55, btw. My triglycerides are at 151, also a smidge too high. My non-HDL cholesterol is 200, which is also a bummer. My thyroid numbers are 1.16 for FT4 and TSH is 4.76. I have no idea if those mean anything, but I thought I'd…

My total is 255 and my LDL is 70. I didn't see my HDL and the doctor didn't mention it. I have to go get my lab reports because she said my thyroid was fine, but I didn't see that number, either. I have a few other more immediate health issues, so this thyroid thing has been at the bottom of my concern list since my other…

Hi. Joining in for the month of August with a goal of 20 miles. Thank you!

My hormones are always a bit wonky, so I think nakima may be on to something. I only use free weights so I don't think it's anything I could be something I'm doing while lifting, Mouse_Potato, but I'll pay a lot better attention from now on to see if I might, indeed, be doing it to myself. Because, yeah, the biggest one is…

Just got my program in the mail and read The Book of Beast, cover to cover, last night. Here's my concern: I'm a pescetarian (the only meat I eat is seafood). I'm also lactose-intolerant so I rarely ever take in dairy. Getting enough protein isn't my issue, it's the kinds of protein that are on the list that is a little…

miragal, I meant on MFP's exercise database. What are you using to track the beachbody programs? Upper fix, for instance, isn't in there, so I was just curious how others, or even IF others, track the exercises. I may need to just invest in a heart rate monitor if I really want to accurately track. But for general…

cdlee05, I do that too, but am thinking that I am then overeating by telling myself, "It's cool. You have banked calories from your workout, so go ahead and have that lil extra helping." Because I don't know how much I actually burned, I'm probably overeating. I don't have a heart rate monitor, so being accurate may not be…

I'm still a noob, but I do know that if I do leg lifts, they really work my lower abs. Kind of like reverse sit-ups. You lie on your back and lift your straight legs up, go up as high as you can, and lower back down. I only lift them about 4 or 5 inches and usually only one leg at a time. But I can feel it pulling and…

I get my walking in while doing research. I have a board across the arms of my treadmill with my netbook on top and walk and roam through research or the NaNo forums. And I keep my water next to me at my desk so whenever I pause to think (or get frustrated) I have something to do (pound down water like its a shot of…
