  • Just bought a Blaze yesterday after thinking for weeks I'd wait for the Alta. Sometimes I surprise myself! https://www.fitbit.com/user/22D9RP
  • I joined Blink, which is a NYC/NJ gym I believe. Fifteen bucks a month (twenty-five will get you access to all their gyms plus a friend every time you come), $38 annual fee, and no contract (which was a plus for me). They have LifeFitness equipment - plenty of cardio and weight machines, plus free weights. There are…
  • This pretty much. Seeing him front row a couple years before he died was something I'll never forget.
  • Eye of the Tiger, No Easy Way Out, Hearts on Fire (big on Rocky, yep) NIN: Survivalism
  • The pressures you describe are the result of years of societal expectations about what we "should" be eating and stereotypes about what vegans "should" be like. I get it. It's frustrating! I second the Colleen Patrick-Goudreau recommendation. She's been a huge influence on me in the years since I went vegan. There are…
  • Lots of good suggestions already. A crock pot and/or pressure cooker is your friend. Soups, stews, chilis - you can make a big batch and have meals for the week. I tend to stock up on things during Shop Rite's "can can" sale - there is never a lack of canned tomatoes in my pantry. Beans from scratch are inexpensive and -…
  • I've started to march around the room when the tv is on. It keeps me moving and distracted from wanting to munch.
  • Potato chips. French fries. Potatoes in general. Crack addicted (if only they weren't vegan)! I am definitely more of a salt fiend than I am a sugar addict.
  • Dr. Tuttle is a compelling speaker. I purchased his book (from him at Summerfest) three years ago and it's still on my nighstand. Thanks for the reminder to make it a goal to read it this year.
  • You can do this! I hear you on the "doing well the first few weeks/months." I've done it before, and I know I can do it. But I need to sustain it. I give you credit for functioning on that amount of sleep. I need my eight hours or I am a beast. If you can find the time, so can the rest of us! Good luck!
  • This is news to me. The doctor's office has never asked that I refrain from taking my pill on the day I go in for bloodwork. Interesting!
  • Hi everyone, I joined MFP about a week ago after years with LoseIt. I'm just now lurking around various forums and thought I'd join this one. I have both Hashimoto's and PCOS. I'm on 100mcg of levothryoxine, and that dose hasn't changed in a while, so it seems to work. Last year was a bit of a struggle as my father got…
