I will. I am used to the 6 mm drop in the stinsons, and I have to wear orthotics in my running shoes so that changes some things too. I am going to take it slow and work my way back up. I am not a marathon runner, I would like to be so I have been trying to get better at long distances so I do not embarass myself :neutral:…

The model that I loved the people at the shoe store stopped selling, it was a discontinued shoe. I am pretty sure it was discontinued when I bought it from REI to begin with. I tried their version 3 on and it felt too tight in the toes. I tried the mafates and after putting 30 miles on them took them back to the place from…

WOW Sarah, way to go! could I have a peek at your diary to get an idea of what you are doing?

I have read alot about soy, some good, alot bad. I second gaelic that it is in alot of food products. I read somewhere that fermented soy acts differently than regular unfermented soy but thats all over my head. For myself, I have noticed if I try to eat things like soy nuts or soy milk, I get alot of stomach discomfort.…

Hooray for remission!! I cannot imagine how much cancer has to suck. I do remember someone trying to find information on naturally healing the thyroid but don't remember the rest of the details. However, there's a number of ways to try to make it more livable that I have read and tried, and all of them include my meds. I…

Well I don't know, I have hashimoto disease and they showed me ultrasound pictures and the darn thing is dead d e a d dead, like anything else ma'am if someone is trying to sell you something (I don't know if they are or not) they're probably just trying to make your wallet lighter. Healthy foods, some vitamins if the doc…

I third that, I have been trying to figure this whole thing out for the past 2 years since I got it. I had a doctor give me a wiki page for hypothyroidism, and another on weight loss, I found out how to get away from him. I saw a nutritionist for about 6 months and that really helped enforce these two mantras that I now…

Wow so it is enlightening! that was what I was looking for. It may be worth my doing for the 80 dollars. I have been losing succesfully though, if anyone else is still having troubles. I reset the myfittnesspal macro settings to my bidding, 25% carbs, 40%protein and 35% fat. so far so good but it is only week one. I think…

Wow 25 dollars, thats cheap! I live near Berkeley, CA and that university charges 80 dollars. Thats why I have been going back and forth with it. Sigh, and they're the only testing facility near me.

thanks a bunch, I have been looking at it over and over again, I dont know how many times but its quite expensive to do where I live so I have been unsure.

my cousin tried to sell me this. I told him no because I dont believe in cleanses. I looked into what he got into and this is the ingredient list for one of their shakes (vanilla): Personally, I didn't feel like it was something for me to try to do because I cant identify alot of the ingredients that are in it. Its almost…

You'll lose weight alright, by not having money budgeted for food because you spent too much on gimmicks. The only things that can make you lose weight from an OTC supplement standpoint is caffeine, and that is only because excessive amounts of caffeine jacks up your heart rate and causes you to burn more calories. And…

I also really want to know about this! I like many others have been on that medication with problems, and since I suspect it has never been quite right. please keep us updated

I'm on naturethroid now for the past 6 months. My hair started growing back and now I'm taking some vitamins too. Now I just want to get my weight under control. I need to lose about 20 pounds for my health

I am trying the ithroid and adrenal that the people who make my medication make along with d3 b vitamins multivitamin and probiotic. So far no complaints but no newfound life energy either. I asked my dr and he said ok to try it but to not take it if at any point I feel sick. Haven't felt sick after a week of trying this…

Find a different endocrinologist. I have no TSH, have hashis, dead thyroid, so like no thyroid. I'm on a replacement dose of naturethroid. I am going to try some of those supplements from the drugstore because I was told to try them by my doctors, like vitamins. For digestive issues try probiotics, those seem to help. I…

Hey, I dont know if you are reading these still, but I am in the same boat with the hashimotos. I am also short. You may not lose that much weight by that date, you may, depending on what your thyroid does. But please dont make yourself crazy about it. Depending on what the thyroid is doing it could go a bit crazy. It…

lindsey knows alot about this stuff. I think that makes sense with the antibodies, I also think theres alot of gray area in endocrinology, I cant think of a better explanation as to why I am doing so much better on the naturethroid versus the synthroid.

hello Shalom! welcome to myfitness pal. I applaud you for trying new things, but, imho the only thing I got out of that book was not all carbs are bad, and to stay away from frankenfood (processed stuff) and added sugars, and in further research, corn and other things turned into sugar that weren't sugar to begin with. As…

Well I read LCHF as low carb high fiber, so I am just going to try to make sure alot of my carbs come from fiber well after my dosages for absorption reasons. I still have antibodies but when they did the ultrasound the whole thing is dead.

When I went over from synthroid to naturethroid my endo said I would feel a little weird for the first few days. I had like heart racing the first few days right after my dose but after a few days i was ok. You could try to do your dose half in morning and half in afternoon (dr has me do that). Ask your dr if that's OK to…

Update: doing much better on the NDT. I had my scan and my thyroid is completely dead so it doesnt have to be removed, its just inert. Kate, Graves is a very scary disease, I have a friend who needed her thyroid removed from it as well. I have been following a nutrition plan with balanced macros religiously for the last 2…

I actually watched this documentary this morning, I thought it was very sad. Sad that America is having such issues and that they are to the terrible extent that children are having lap band surgery. What about basic nutrition education in schools, do they not do that anymore to help educate the kids? I don't think though…

Thanks for the pick me up. I so wish it was linear but it is not, and has not been for the last year :\ I did look at my long term graph after seeing your post and I have seen a downward trend, more like zigzags with a downward slope. According to BMI since I am 175-176 pounds for my 5'3 frame I am between 66 and 31 pounds…

I agree with bronkeekong. I think you should see another doctor. Especially because your symptoms sound like they could be dangerous. There would be no way they could reasonably expect a person experiencing what you are to wait 6 months. I have Hashimoto disease, they have blood tests for tsh, triitiodine, tpo (antibodies)…

Do not give up. Do not give up do not give up. As far as exercise until your stuff is straightened out do what you can, even if that means a walk on the treadmill, or just a lifting session. Here's the short and dirty version from my understanding with what I have been through. You will not lose weight until the levels are…

Oh man, it has been an awful ride so far fuzzipeg, an awful awful ride. I was seen by my PCM (I have tricare) originally for this and put on synthroid (t4 only) and denied for over a year and a half to see a specialist. Saw a specialist after being fed up and feeling sick by seeking refuge through other channels. I was…

Well I saw the endo again today, and he did an ultrasound-- it is dead, after what that entirely means was explained to me, its my understanding that things should get much better from here on out. Primarily because hashi swings back and forth things should in theory stay relatively the same now. He increased my medication…

I go to work at 6AM, I take one pill when I leave, eat breakfast at work around 7-8 and another about 3 hours after lunch (2PM)
