Congratulations!

I have panhypopituitarism and Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency for about two years. I am actively working on losing weight. The last nine weeks I have lost 14 pounds. I try to eat protein with vegetables or fruit to keep me full. I stay within my calories and log everything. A food scale can help with accurate food portions…

I have secondary adrenal insufficiency and panhypopituitarism. I replace more than just cortisol. I have been diligently logging here for the last couple of months. I have managed to lose 14 pounds in the last nine weeks. Sounds like you have had quite a bit of success in losing weight! Congratulations! :smile:

You should probably eat something or have a glass of milk. Being hungry can keep you up and disturb your sleep. Maybe you have too high of a calorie deficit?

You may want to get your T3 levels checked. Some of us have a hard time converting T4 to T3. I take Synthroid and Cytomel (along with a lot of other meds for panhypopituitarism). Taking T3 gives me a lot more energy (increase in metabolism). Without it I am bound to bed. If your hormone levels are off, I it does make…

You want to request a full thyroid panel.

I tried a recipe for unstuffed Cabbage Rolls last week. A little different than the recipe you posted. My kids loved it. It was an inexpensive and quick recipe! :)

I was raw vegan for a few years. I was hoping that my pituitary tumor that I had partially removed ( the other part was inoperable) would not grow back. I read a lot regarding the diet and a lot of the health claims about reversing disease. I was very strict in my diet. The tumor grew back. Certain conditions cannot be…

I'm in Mesa and am logging regularly. You can add me if you like!

It could be something hormonal. Get checked by your doctor.

I have panhypopituitarism (adrenal insufficiency, adult growth hormone deficiency, etc.) and take hydrocortisone and a lot of other meds daily. I have lost 19 pounds since last July. I have a lot more weight to lose to reach my goal. I am happy to see the successes of others on this thread! I have set my goals to have a 2…

Yesterday I did: Eat healthy foods that I have prepared at home. o:) Drink at least 80 oz of water (drinking enough water on weekends seems to be a challenge for me). o:) Complete at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise. (I completed even more!) o:) Just for today: Not binge on sweets when I visit my parents. Drink at least…

Thank you for this thread! Just what I need to help focus on my goals! Today I will: Eat healthy foods that I have prepared at home. Drink at least 80 oz of water (drinking enough water on weekends seems to be a challenge for me). Complete at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise.

Hello everybody! Newbie here in Phoenix, AZ! Enjoying the weather here before it gets too hot! In the Summer any dog walking needs to be done before 6:30 AM because it is already to hot then! Caramelgyrlk- I have Brook's Glycerine shoes. I was originally fitted for them at a running shop. When those shoes were worn out, I…

@astyxx I also have panhypopituitarism and take a lot of medication to compensate. Have you been tested for growth hormone deficiency? Being growth hormone deficient can cause issues with change of lean body mass to fat deposits. I know you posted this a while ago, but just saw it today.

I'm in the fresh start category, too. I was doing so great a few months ago with logging my food and going to the gym and lifting on a regular basis and doing cardio. I had a 10% increase in my strength. Then I didn't feel well and stopped everything! And just like that 6 months months later, I am 12 pounds heavier. I was…

I would like to lose 2 pounds a week consistently to be able to go skydiving with my son for his 18th birthday. I have a goal to eat homemade meals to help with weight loss and to make my bank account fat. The extra money that would go toward eating out will be used for a family vacation in October! NSV's: my jeans are…

Natural apple sauce cups, oatmeal with protein powder and cinnamon in zip-locs, protein powder, and green tea! :smile:

Over the last 24 hours there has been so much talk about depression and suicide. It feels like a wound being picked at for me. My ex-husband committed suicide last December. I have cried daily and feel deeply the loss of him in my life. I understand why he did what he did. The years we were married was peppered with a lot…

I would like to join! This coincides with the 20 weeks until my birthday. I had set a goal for myself to lose 40 pounds by my birthday (2 Pounds per week).

My Brazilian family will like this ver!y much

I made shrimp scampi the other night and put it over the spaghetti squash.

Thanks for sharing! You have definitely inspired me! :smile:

I love jerk chicken! Thank you for posting the recipe!

"My life doesn't have room for that weight anymore. It can’t hold me back. There are adventures to be had. " I love that! My life doesn't have room for the weight any more, either! There are many adventures to be had and I am ready! Thank you for sharing your story!!! :smile:

Good job Renyart1! It looks like it's all the little things we do every day that make a difference! Keep it up! :smile:

Your hard work and dedication really shows! I love your positive energy!:smile:

Have you had your cortisol levels checked? Low blood pressure and salt cravings can be a sign of Addison's disease.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far!!! The amount you have lost is significant and you can see a real difference in your picture. You should be proud of that accomplishment! Your hard work is paying off. :smile: A couple of years ago I was on WW. I was doing the plan perfectly and gaining weight! It turns out that…
