How about a faux Italian soda - Pellegrino water with fresh squeezed lemon or lime? I like soda as a treat every now and then and I found a vanilla cream soda made by a company called "zevia" at whole foods (I was able to buy a single can to try it), made with stevia ~ it was delish! I agree with the protein bar as a…

I just ordered a Polar HRM. It will be interesting to see how different it is than the calories given by my Precor elliptical which calculates calories burned using a Polar system where you enter your weight and take your heart rate during the workout.

Happy Hump Day! Just my 2 cents since I was the one who originally threw it out there about starting a group. Today I had a hard time finding this thread. I found the first part of it and linked over to this one. It would be easier just to pop over to a group and have a daily check in thread and other threads that could be…

Thanks for starting this chat! I am a middle-aged, unemployed housewife at the moment ;) I've been married to my best friend for 27+ years and we have one son who is in college now. I was diagnosed after years and years of feeling lousy, gaining weight, hair falling and going from doctor to doctor that I have hashimoto's…

Great workout StarletteS! I did Body Pump years ago when I belonged to the gym but I am much older (in mid 50's) so I think I will start out with challenge and stick with it until my form is good but I did love the full hour workout!! Can't wait until the clips arrive so I can get started. Got an e-mail that the HRM I…

You look amazing - congrats on reaching your goals!! Thanks for posting your pictures you are an inspiration :)

I am sorry I don't have any information on the questions you asked - didn't want to read and run. When I could not get Armour in the United States my doctor gave me a script for Erfa Thyroid and it was filled though an on-line pharmacy in Canada. I believe you can get information from the website, stopthethyroidmadness.com…

Check with your doctor to be sure. You can also google the medication you are taking to get the PDR to see if there is information on dosage based on the patients body weight.

I just received my kit last Friday. The clips don't work on the barbell so I finally got through to Beach Body and they are sending me out the correct clips but said it would take 5-7 days - ugh! I did the challenge yesterday just with the bar to practice form - probably not a bad idea but I was so excited to get started.…

I had a pretty good week last week - down 2 pounds! A little frustrated today. I wanted to add strength training to my workouts so I ordered Les Mills Pump. The clips for the barbells don't work. After a frustrating morning of trying to get a live person in customer service I am told it is a known problem and they will…

Hi Nanasfaith glad you are here! It is a process. If what you are doing isn't working try something else. I encourage you to start today by making good choices about nutrition and exercise. We understand in this group that calories in/out is only a part of the picture. The thyroid is the gas pedal of metabolism and when it…

tigersword - the video is about high fructose corn syrup - not natural sugar found in fruit. HFCS was not always in food. I have a question - did you watch the video? When my son was 10 he started gaining weight. He played sports from August to June then spent the summer at camp outside all day swimming, playing baseball…

I've seen the video. This pediatric endocrinologist is using research to explain the alarming increase in the rate of obesity in children. If you want to dismiss it that is your perogative but a lot of what he says makes sense. Eating clean and reducing/eliminating high processed foods will keep you and your kids healthy.

Hi Ginny, Welcome to the group! I just joined myself last month. One of the best sources for educating yourself about thyroid issues is stop the thyroid madness. com you can also google Mary Shoman and find her website. She has written books (I bought one years back) and STTM has a book too. I was diagnosed with…

Lisa, I didn't realize you were 50 (I'm. 53)! That certainly changes things! A lot of the hashi's symptoms are also symptoms of perimeopause and menopause. A double whammy for sure!! My personal experience with perimenopause during my 40's was a hellish time. I am post- meonpause now and for me it has been a return to…

Mmmdrop will say a prayer and send healing thoughts your way.

You look awesome - go you!!! People are showing you a reflection of what they feel inside about themselves. You don't need their negative energy. Banish them from your facebook page ;)

I bought a small amount from the bulk section of Whole Foods last week. I put them in a smoothie I made, just added a tablespoon. Then I was looking at a blog and they were being used in a recipe and she added them to water and made a gel first. I tried that and added the gel (1T seeds to 4 oz water) and added that to the…

Hi Lisa, Hang in there! I hope your medical insurance comes through soon so you can receive treatment. If I were you and could swing it I would go to the doctor and have the tests to confirm if you have hashi's. You know which ones to request based on the information on Stop the thyroid madness. As you know there are many…

Happy Saturday! We are having some light snow today in southeastern PA, just enough to be pretty. Jane - Good luck with your surgery. Marcelynh - How exciting a new grandbaby! Do you know if it is a boy or a girl? Carolpom - You have set up realistic goals that is important! Linda- I agree it is so much harder to shed…

Marking my spot on this thread to come back to. So much good information -tfs. Btw, is there anyway to bookmark threads in MFP?

Why eat that overprocessed crap? If you feel like having chocolate - have it and enjoy it. Buy a high quality (Trader Joe's has some fabulous organic chocolate) have a couple of squares which total approximately 100 calories and satisfy your chocolate craving.

Awesome! You are a great inspiration!! You look so beautiful & happy!!!
