  • I gained 6lbs in a week a month ago when I went on holiday. 5.5lbs was gone within a week. My ankles returned the day after arriving home, most of it is probably water weight!

  • they can test tsh, free t3, t4 etc etc. A lot of doctors often only order tsh or some mix of the thyroid tests not all of them. They need to order all of them! for me personally my memory is much better when all my levels are good. I'd also recommend a vit D and iron check, both of those were low for me too
  • you can take T3. I started taking armour thyroid when my labs showed I wasn't converting. Have lost 12lbs in the last few months :) it can be done! also, my previous doctor was always going on about how my results were in the normal range so I'm fine. It wasn't until I moved from the US to NZ and saw a chronic fatigue…

  • I prep snacks and baked goods on the weekend. Put your meat over salad instead of the rice or pasta your family are having. Sometimes I have cereal if I can't be bothered figuring out how many cals are in their super cheesy or carby dinner. Make slight changes to family favourites and use recipe builder to calculate cals.…

  • I aim to net no less than 1200... sometimes I net 1400... sometimes I eat 1400, 1500 cals, other days 1800, all depends on the exercise for the day and how I feel etc I eat back all my exercise cals. Have lost 6lbs in just over a month :)
  • I log as I go on my phone (the app is so much easier for logging!), pre-log/plan or write down how many grams of things in say my salad and enter them when I can
  • Mint kitkats
  • I have a fitbit for steps and a hrm with chest strap for workouts
  • Hiya, I'm a full time student with theory hours and 32+ hours of clinical placement a week. I meal plan and prep on sundays so I have my shift meals done. I also bake muffins, hard boiled eggs, carrot sticks etc for the kids lunches so I can just throw those at them when they're hungry ;) I squeeze in a couple good…
  • I have mine on sedentary and eat back exercise cals and fitbit adjustments

  • I just started taking a b vitamin at the beginning of my night shift and it works REALLY well. I also make sure I bring good food, including a treat, with fats and proteins and not just carbs so I don't crash and start eating the cake in the staff room. I have one coffee right at the start of my shift too
  • I really love my one. Had a zip but replaced it bc the zip ate through batteries and was a pain to change. Recharging the one is much easier
  • 2.5kg in a month is 5.5lbs... that sounds like weight loss to me?
  • Pcos is associated with increased insulin resistance. Keeping your blood sugar stable, eating high fibre carbs and less added sugar and moderate exercise should help (increases glucose utilisation). The metformin will help your body use the insulin it has too
  • Huh? Was answering the OP...
  • I do so I reach at least 1200 cals net for the day
  • LOVE it with brown sugar and cream. I eat it with a little brown sugar and lower fat milk. We also have a great brand of instant here, no sugar added with apples, raisins and cinnamon SO good! I add a little sugar and milk to that too = about 200 cals and fills me up pretty well

  • I am hypo, taking armour thyroid and aiming for 1200 net a day. I eat back exercise calories and losing 1.5lbs a week or so. So far mfp and my bmr calculation have been accurate
  • I love t25. When I don't have 25 minutes or want more I do YouTube video HIIT and fitness blender videos. Sometimes I do them behind the couch on the laptop while kids watch tv lol gets it done!
  • I did! After my 2nd was born, so sad
