yumm......

bump :)

I am just making this now, all marinating in the fridge. I can't wait until it's done. :)

Bump!!!!!

anyone at all have any experience with this?

Do you mind my asking if your sister has had any luck with dr's? And if so where does she doctor?

I'm not sure if you were asking Terri, or myself, but I am from Saskatchewan. And the STTM is just the acronym for the website www.stopthethyroidmadness.com There is a lot of helpful information - I am finding anyways. It's too bad the internet has such a bad reputation as far as medical advice. I'm always afraid to tell…

Thank you. I just read it. I have looked at that site several times and find something new every time. I think I answered yes to every single question, especially the sensitivity to light and headaches that go along with that. So much so that I have to keep the lights off in my office and the brightness turned down on my…

Oh boy.......I could've written this myself! My husband is supportive as well, but I know it must bruise his ego. It makes me sad because I love him very much and I just have noooooo desire. I would much rather sleep!

Thank you Terri, so do I. I have learned a lot from your posts in this discussion group. I had actually stumbled upon STTM website quite some time ago and it's nice to see it get promoted here. It is a wealth of information. My dr. has put me on a very small dose of synthroid, which I am hesitant about, BUT now that I am…

I know that the TSH is spit out by the pituitary and from what I understand the reasoning for wanting the T4/T3 tested was that the relationship between the two would help my dr to discern whether it was a primary hypothyroidism due to a malfunctioning thyroid gland or a secondary hypothyroidism due to a malfunctioning…

My mom has just progressed into diabetes in the last couple of years and she has to be so careful with her simple carbs. She needs to avoid any of the flavored yogurts and has switched to greek yogurt and adds her own fruit in (but she can't eat pineapple anymore - spikes her sugars too high) ****also for her, tiredness…

How much water are you drinking? Tiredness can result from dehydration too. *just saw the diet soda thing - that will dehydrate you too if you aren't drinking enough water with it. I will be the last person to tell someone to stop with the diet soda's and you will probably hear that from many others, but I figure everyone…

Bump - I need ideas too!

^^^^ This - definitely!! I/We were good until we had a houseful of busy children that require 110% of our attention and time. I know lots of people say you have to make time for yourself, make time for exercise, make yourself a priority, but it really is easier said than done. In my house I am the main source of reliable…

I had a treadclimber........I sold it. Is it a good workout? Absolutely! But.........I disliked it. I found it very awkward. It has a separate belt for each foot, so they can operate separately as a stairclimber. For me the space in between the two belts was too wide for my stance. I actually stepped on the piece in the…

You and I would get along just fine :) I love "whatever" by Godsmack too.....put it in the mix about the point where I feel like I'm going to run out of steam and it can power me through!

You have to check out www.rockmyrun.com! They have a whole bunch of dj mixes of varied music and lengths and they list the bpm of each mix. Good stuff to keep you motivated. I think that what I like best is it is stuff that is different than normal for me.....keeps it interesting and the run flies by. Otherwise I end up…

Not sure what kind of music you like, but I just came across a website that is awesome for workout music. www.rockmyrun.com Has lots of different mixes with good beats, lots of selection for length and they list the beats per min for each mix.

^^^ me either. I only have one cup of coffee a day and it is probably the one thing I won't ever change.

BUMP!! I don't think I've read one recipe yet that doesn't appeal to me. I love smoothies - I also use them as a meal replacement generally. My fave in the morning on a day I know I can handle the extra calories: 1 cup OJ (I like with pulp) 1/3 c +/- frozen raspberries 1 banana 1 scoop whey protein - I use Whey Gourmet…

Thanks ladies, that helps. I am a little intimidated to start but none the less, looking forward to it and the end results :)

^^^ Try Barlean's Omega Swirl. I have only tried the pomegrante blueberry and it's good, but they also make one with Eveing Primrose and flaxseed oil, called "Essential Woman Swirl" - Chocolate raspberry flavor. They have several different flavors, the one I have doesn't have any fishy or awful taste. I mix it in my…

http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/disorders/whataregd/hypothyroidism/ Hypothyroidism may be caused by 1) an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid gland, 2) surgery or radiation to treat thyroid cancer and other conditions, or 3) rare and random genetic events in which a mutation is acquired during early…

Nope - complete opposite. Mind you I'm female, and my brother, well obviously - he's male. But I am 5'2" he is 6'2" and we probably weigh the same amount lol. He may even weigh less - super skinny! He has always been built that way and I have always been built this way.
