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…

Thank you for the inspiration!

Losing weight is a great goal to have for your fitness and health that can cause you to feel more confident in other areas of your life. However, just because the weight is gone, the magic fairy doesn't wave her wand and give you a perfect life. What I recommend is that you find things to do that make you happy. Take a…

Congratulations! Feeling comfortable in your own skin is a huge accomplishment!!! :smile:

I am on medication for the rest of my life that makes me feel hungry a lot. I find that if I stick to regular meals higher in protein and with lots of greens my energy doesn't fluctuate badly. For between meals, if I have built it into my daily calorie allotment, I will snack on something like cottage cheese and a piece of…

Hi! I have sent you a friend request. I am hypothyroid and have secondary adrenal insufficiency as part of the after effects of radiation on my pituitary. I am working on the weight loss again.

Good job! :smile:

That's awesome news! You're doing great!

Congratulations! Keep putting one foot in front of the other!!!

I am relatively new to the whole adrenal insufficiency thing. It is challenging to exercise with the muscle fatigue that I get in my arms and legs. I am just now back to the point where I can walk long distances again.I have gained so much weight since I started taking the hydrocortisone. I do find that I need to take more…

I have secondary Adrenal Insufficiency brought on after radiation of a pituitary tumor last year. I do not eat a high sodium diet, as primary is different from secondary. I have been gaining weight steadily since beginning to take hydrocortisone replacement. I am now staying vigilant with what I am eating and utilizing the…

Catherine Deneuve said that she chose her face over her body. But I think it was only 10- 15 lbs that she was over and she was probably still within normal weight range for her age.

When I experienced amenorrhea it was due to a pituitary tumor. Make sure you have your pituitary hormones checked!

Yum! Thank you! I love to bake, too! I look forward to making up some of these bars!

I was looking to see if anybody had posted anything about surfing on here. This is something that I would like to do to reward myself when I hit one of my goals as I lose weight. How did your trip go? Were you able to stay on your board for more than 5 seconds this time? :) Did you do any additional prep work to get…

Inspirational!

Thank you! I understand thyroid issues. I was hyperthyroid a few years ago and it was incredibly debilitating! Do the basics - get enough sleep, proper nutrition (eat real food), and exercise. It seems that these things always help in the healing of our bodies. Best of luck to you! You can do this!

Have you tried taking fish oil? You could also use coconut or almond oil to moisturized your skin. I have had good look with this!

Very helpful! I think keeping it simple is the best as it makes it easy to remember and to do!

Thank you!!! This was very helpful to me!

I love Pita Jungle, D'Lish, and Rumbis. Rumbis has a great grilled mahi mahi served with salad and brown rice!

Hi, my name is Jill and I live out in East Mesa! I have lived in AZ since 1988. I am 42 years old and am very happy for each day I have! I have two beautiful and athletic boys and a beautiful dog that is my walking buddy! I walk my dog 3-5 miles a day and will be changing my walking time to 5 AM with the coming heat! I…

I can see myself in this article. I know that I hide myself because I am ashamed of my weight and it has knocked my confidence down for too long! I am happy to say that I am feeling better day by day with eating more consciously and exercising regularly. Thank you for sharing this article!

I just bought this book and will be reading it over the weekend. I plan to start on Monday! Thanks for the link for the group!

For your area, maybe snowshoeing or cross country skiing. Do you have any indoor trampoline places?

I love the Charity Miles App! It calculates the distance and time of your walk, run, or cycling. I typically choose to walk for the Wounded Warrior Project. It motivates me to get off my butt and get moving. Any little bit that I can give to these soldiers that have sacrificed so much for us the better!
