  • I would definitely suggest a FULL thyroid panel. If your endocrinologist won't do it (many old school doctors won't), find a integrative doctor that will. Taking all the synthroid in the world won't help if you don't convert it right. There are probably underlying issues other than no time to exercise. You should still be…

  • I'd be interested in this, too. Although I'm considering medical laboratory technician because I'd rather not deal with the public. :)

  • Congratulations!! It is kind of scary once you reach your goal. I lost 30+ pounds and was worried what would happen when I reached my magic number. In fact, I'm still concerned, but I've kept the weight off for several months so far, and even lost a few extra pounds! This is what has worked for me...I changed my goal to…

  • I'll definitely have to try those. The Nutter Butter Dipped Bars are also wonderful, but also hard to find. The store usually has all the other 100 calorie packs and there is a gaping hole where the Nutter Butter bars should be. Other people must like them, too! Thanks for the heads up! :)

  • Maple Grove Farms Fat Free Raspberry Vinaigrette has 30 calories in 2 tablespoons, and I agree that the Newman's Own Lighten Up Basalmic Vinaigrette has tons of flavor as well. Two tablespoons goes A LONG ways on a healthy-sized salad.

  • I put in my recipes under "Meals." I add each ingredient to the database and it will calculate the total calories in the meal. Then figure out how many servings you get from it (6 for example) and when you add it to your diary, add 1/6th of the meal (.166 servings). It's sort of time consuming...I haven't figured out an…
