All the women in my family have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and it does take the pills a while to kick in so you do have to give that time. But my sister never felt better on the pills and read that hypothyroidism and gluten intolerance (not celiac - just discomfort resulting from gluten) have very similar symptoms…

That's exactly what my family says!!! It's irritating because I'm embarrassed and they think that I'm overreacting to how much I've eaten the rest of the day but they just don't understand!
-
I do the exact same thing. It is so frustrating. I don't snack and binge because I'm hungry at all - I have a good bowl of oatmeal just about every morning that is very satisfying and fills me up but I still just WANT to eat! Then I either have to go to the gym and burn 300-500 calories just to be able to have anything…

I've heard you can replace the fat in cookies or brownies with it (still fat but the healthier kind obviously :-)) Guacamole or slicing it up on a chicken or turkey sandwich is great. Putting it in a smoothie is good too!
-
I'm the exact same way - it drives me crazy because I work at home for the most part and am stuck at a computer all day so that's where my mind goes because I get so bored. I chew ice ALL DAY though - it's the only thing that even slightly helps because it's no calories but I know that's not good for my teeth. Distractions…

Just had eggplant for dinner tonight! I always slice them thin, dip in egg white mixed iwth a tiny bit of milk, then in bread crumbs (italian style is good). Spray a grill pan with some olive oil then bake them at 400 for about 20 minutes, flip and bake the other side another 15 or so til they're crispy. Then dip them in…

Try them dipped in spicy brown mustard - totally addictive!! :)

If you have an ipad, the Fitness Class app is great - tons of exercise videos for men and women both - all different types of workouts too. There are several free ones or you can pay for a subscription but I love it!
-
Yes - adorbs drives me crazy too! I've noticed people on facebook using "ab" instead of about now too - we aren't gonna have full words anymore!! And I agree with you on besties too - especially when adults say it!
-
I don't know if I have room for everything people say that bugs me lol but here's a start: - adding "tastic" to any word such as "craptastic", "pinktastic", etc. - "awesomesauce" - "with that being said..." - calling details "the deets" - "lurve" (meaning "love") - "i heart this" - "totes" instead of totally - on pinterest…

I don't like perfumey smells but I have a perfume called CLEAN and that's exactly what it smells like - kinda soapy but in a good sweet fresh way :) And there's one by Benefit called Maybe Baby that smells like sweet peaches - LOVE it!

When my daughter was about 6 we were watching a Christmas movie one night and she looked at me and goes "Santa needs to be on the naughty list" and I asked her why. She said "because he says Ho and that's a bad word" then her sister asked me what a Ho was...lol

That was supposed to say 'best' recipe not 'way' :)
-
I have been craving steamed veggies lately because I started dipping them in spicy mustard (which is only 5 cals per tsp.). It is SO good. Especially snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. I'm sure green beans would be good too. I can eat zucchini in zucchini lasagna (Martha Stewart has the way recipe for it and its…

bump - sounds awesome!

I've been trying to quit because it's one thing I just have way too much of and I'm trying to keep my diet as "clean" as possible. One thing that helps me is drinking a bottle of perrier (or other similar fizzy water) with some lemon or lime juice squirted in - gives me the fizz and the tang which I think is what I crave…
-
Yep! The last two years I was in a relationship and he didn't even bring up the fact that it was Valentine's Day the first year and last year we were supposed to have lunch together and he "overslept and forgot". So this year, I'm getting dressed up and taking myself out!! And I can't wait! :) I'm not ashamed or…
-
It's funny you mentioned that - I actually complain to my ex (daughters' father) that none of the other moms at school events seem to wanna talk to me - I get the cold shoulder too but they are all more attractive than me (at least I think so) so I wouldn't think they are intimidated but maybe it's because I'm single and…
-
That is true. I guess I just figure the people I've known my whole life and have been friends with for over a decade would still wanna be around but things change and I can't expect this to be any different for me. "If you can't change the people around you, change the people around you", right? :-)
-
Thanks! :-)
-
I thought about joining a church to meet people (friends, not a man lol) but I'm not religious and felt like that would be wrong :) I do want to find some kind of team or something active to do - that's a good idea :) I work by myself at home so I'm not around other people much on a daily basis so I guess I just have to…
-
I have thought of this but I am a very happy person - especially lately. I get along with my ex and I have been very happy about things. I think my family gets annoyed with my dieting stuff because I won't eat much but I'm not always going on and on about it. I don't complain about being single or anything. I have heard…
-
Yep - this is pretty much how I'm feeling! :-) i lost weight, I run my own business, I have a new apartment and I'm doing well - I just Want. To enjoy life and have fun and be around my friends and everything. I would love to meet new people - I'm just having a hard time figuring out how. It seems like the only places to…
-
Lol - like your attitude! :-) i try to be optimistic like this and I'm always the first to send Christmas cards out and am always inviting people over for dinner or whatever but it's like everybody thinks I'm weird for asking - like since I don't have a man for their husbands to hang out with and not an actual house that…
-
I know exqctly what you mean. My girls are with their dad two nights a week and I have all this time where I could go out and I want to go out but not by myself all the time. I end up going to my parents house alot on my free nights just so I have somebody to talk to but it gets a little old. I want to have some fun :) I…

I love peanut butter cookies! Anybody tried making them with PB2 powder yet? I might try and see what I can come up with just for fun but I'm no baker lol
-
Diet Coke!! I will cringe thinking about the crap in other junk but for some reason, I never hesitate to down 4 or 5 a day!
-
I just finally made myself like Greek Yogurt a week or so ago - I love Chobani plain nonfat vanilla with some dark cocoa powder mixed in - kind of addicted now!! :) But - just read yesterday a list of Dr. Oz's "reactive" foods that apparently cause inflammation, aging, and weight gain especially if you have thyroid…

I work out at the NE, Middletown, and Southeast Y's and at home sometimes. I try to run when it's warm too so I would be up for a running meet up too maybe! :)

Hello! I'm in Louisville too - have lost 65 pounds but having trouble maintaining so I'm looking for some help there :) Great to know of other Louisvillians on here! :)
