  • One question, TO: did you use these amounts of food in your meal? Did you use french fries with this amount of calories? How much oil did you use for the fries and the egg? I don't see it added. Look, I'm not trying to talk you out of this. I'm just saying that entries automatically chosen might be wrong, as might be…
  • PAAARTY!
  • So you lost 7lbs in 4 weeks. That's a very good achievement! For one thing: managing expectations. You don't provide us with any further information about yourself, but the maximum weightloss possible here is 2lbs per weeks. If you're very heavy then you're right on track. If you don't have so much to lose then you've…

  • I got the first two badges: May Walking (30 miles) and Active May (20 activities). I had to stop running and strength training temporarily as I was feeling not well. Turned out I had a uti. Feeling better now, and am currently in Italy, and San Marino before that. Thus lots of walking :)
  • What kind of problems exactly? What kind of exercise do you try to add?
  • Checking out for now. I have a massive uti, which was the reason why I was so exhausted lately. Going on a trip anyway from tomorrow. Thus we'll see how things go thereafter.
  • Also the best equipment only guesses if used out of the box, and most people are not fit enough nor able to set up devices properly to reflect their unique physiology. Heartrate does not equal calorie burn, but can be an approximation for certain things. Provided the device is properly set up. Even the often quoted and…
  • Sugar or added sugar? But overall, it's every food that is not processed, thus the raw produce.
  • what country? Would make a big difference? And what for: everyday and all meals or a feast of sorts? former: oats with a stiff yogurt, raisins and whatever fruit is cheap. Slices of cheap bread with butter and whatever choice is cheap. Various curries for dinner, or pasta with tinned tomatoes, onion, whatever is cheap.…

  • Website or app? And if app: which one? On the website you can only see the last year (which is quite shite): Reports - weight. In iOS: Progress and then you click on the time at the top right to change it to anything else.

  • Please go to a shop and try on various shoes. If you get my running shoes they might be totally wrong for you despite being wide. There's so much more than just width, including support, hardness of sole underneath and inside, heal elevation, etc…
  • It really depends on what you want. My set cost 270 EUR, which is stiff but I for now have enough weights, and enough smaller weights that allow me to progress with lifts I'm totally shite at, like overhead presses. Another set of 10kg weights will set me back at least 50 EUR. It's just not cheap. Thus consider first what…

  • Yeah, this! I feel best if my TSH is below 1. In the past, earlier on in hashimoto I had a few hypers every now and then. For me, it manifested with the urge to clean my flat. Basically, I was just not able to sit around; I had to do something and for some reason that resulted in urgent cleaning. Shame I've not had one of…

  • Hi there. You don't provide more info, thus very general: slow and steady wins the race. Eat enough and don't starve yourself as (provided you're here for weightloss) it's totally possible, and easier to lose weight by eating most things you enjoy. No need to punish yourself. Log your food thoroughly, chose correct…

  • If you have the feeling that your meds are not spot on then ask for a trial with an increase. You won't drop dead. It's totally possible to feel totally normal with being hypo or having hashimoto. And that should be the aim of the treatment. Also get print-outs of all blood tests and check whether they are just about good,…

  • You could set a goal to lose 10lbs for now. Then set another 10lbs goal, etc. Cutting your goal into many smaller goals might be some motivation for some people instead of starting from the beginning with a bigger chunk.
  • I think there are just two serious contenders, from Scosche and Polar. I've tried both brands over the years, and both are as good as the conditions you use them in. Meaning if your skin is dark or hairy then won't work well. Very fair and no hair: perfect. It's cold: they won't work quite so well because they measure…

  • Where? In your diary? Or did you create new entries for the food database itself? Computer browser or phone app, and if the latter: which operating system? On iOS if you want to delete something from your diary you simple swipe left over that entry. The delete option in web browser should be self explanatory.
  • Are you still in the acute phase of healing? If so: see what AnnP above wrote. Also, do you have access to physiotherapy? You'll likely need to rebuild muscles and regain full range of motion. Make use of that. Then think about losing weight.
  • Protein powder does not cause weightloss. If you feel you don't get enough protein through food then chose anyone you fancy. If you get enough then don't bother and eat real food.

  • Anything that fits into your calorie allowance. You just have to make it work. Being in Europe, I eat a lot of bread without special lower calories or whatever breads being available, and losing weight was never a problem.
  • That's a good question. A function of gender, age and weight compared to their collected data I think. I could show the actual max weights, but I prefer something that motivates me. I can't see how much data there is for my group though. Ah, I found this one here: How did we calculate this? Step 1 - Compare to all female…
  • Yay, finally got out of noob corner for squats!
  • Your body needs energy for healing. Eat nutricious food at maintenance until you're recovered. Don't exercise now. Protect others from getting infected by you.
  • No, I screwed up quite a bit with entering data. You can add old data, delete data or complete workouts etc. It's just all a bit clunky. I do love a good graph as well, mind 😁
