I am Hypo and have been on Levo for almost two years. It may take awhile to get you at the right dosage. Levo will not necessarily "cure" your symptoms either. I actually ended up doing natural medicine to help my symptoms but the Levo regulated my thyroid. It may take a lot of playing with your workouts and diet to find…

If it was spaghetti squash I would say spaghetti squash pad thai. I just finished making it for dinner.

Weighing everyday is not a good thing to do. Dr's and trainers have always told me to do it weekly. You are supposed to weigh yourself on the same day around the same time. It should be first thing in the morning right after you have had that morning bathroom stop, prior to eating or drinking anything. That is when you…

There are many companies out their who will not even hire smokers and are allowed to do this. I agree this is probably the insurance because It is another incentive for smokers to quit. Smoking is 100% a personal choice. Things such as obesity are not necessarily a personal choice. Sometimes these issues are due to other…

I am a very picky reader. If it doesn't get me from page one I tend to never pick it up again. If you like suspenseful type books then I would recommend James Patterson. His new series private has me hooked. I haven't read any of his other series yet but I have read several other of his books that are not part of a series…

I went and saw the movie this weekend. There were other men in the theater with their women. You have nothing to worry about. To go along with answer A, he is probably willing to go with you because he is secure enough with himself.

You are absolutely doing the right thing by leaving. It is emotional and physical abuse. You don't deserve to be treated that way and should never get use to that type of treatment. I can completely understand why you want to wait and leave the relationship when you actually move away. just be careful until then. Hopefully…

I do all the time for the work week. Like today I spent most the afternoon making my breakfast and lunches for the week. I don't have the time to do it during the week so I do it on sundays. Plus it helps me stick to my healthy eating. If I leave my meal prep to during the work week I am more likely to say forget it I will…

You should count everything you have that has any calories even gum. Even though it may be only a few calories, that few calories can add up. If you had 10 pieces of gum a day or a couple pieces of gum, a bite of someones cake, 2 potato chips. These types of things slowly add up. Even some vitamins have calories in them…

Many items are marketed to be healthy but in real comparison they are not. We just believe what we see and hear.

It is completely uncomfortable for me to sleep with a bra on. Even though I do have a larger chest I can't wear one for sleeping.

The best time to weigh yourself is right after you wake up and go to the bathroom before you eat or drink anything. It is typical for your body to fluctuate throughout the day about 2 lbs.

Freeze yoplait whips yogurt. Skinny cow, smart ones or weight watchers ice cream are good. Nutella and graham crackers. Yoplait or jello desserts. They are usually found in the refridgerator aisle.

Peanut butter is actually a good protein. My trainer recommended almond butter instead cause it will also give you the omega 3 you need. You can also try one of the lighter peanut butters with less fat.

Don't even worry about it. Enjoy the time with your man while he is home. You will at least be getting some exercise :)

Soda is bad for you whether diet or regular. They are bad for different reasons but both bad. I once had a nutritionist actually tell me that diet is worse then regular. For me moderation is probably one or less sodas a week. Not sure how much truth to it but I actually saw on the Doctors that artificial sweeteners…

If your hotel has a gym hit the gym while there. If not, take a set of the workout bands. They are light weight so it will not cause your luggage to be extra heavy. Put a workout together you can do in your room. You can also do crunches, push ups, calf raises, wall sits, and many others. When eating out just try to stick…

Hope everyone is doing well on there challenge! Keep up the good work! Have to check my own status for last week, haven't had a chance. Think I am still on target. :)

If they truly are caffeine withdrawal headaches they shouldn't last more then a week is what I have experienced. It shouldn't take that long for the caffeine to leave your body so if they last longer it may be something else. Now if you keep going up and down with the amount of caffeine you are drinking then I think they…

Welcome to the people who just joined, I have added you to the list. :) I am at 150 minutes for 1-4 Sept. Everyone has started out strong! Let's keep it up.

I am so glad we got a good group. I think we have 19 people in this challenge. I am so glad we will all have extra motivation and hopefully giving ourselves that number will keep us motivated. I have a spreadsheet started just need to figure out if there is a way to create a group on MFP. I am thinking each Monday we…

Glad you said that cause I have been wanting to try it on bananas.

When I have calories left I will use it for a dessert. I have done it on graham crackers. Been wanting to try it on a banana too. I try not to use it too often but it is a nice treat.

I look forward to working this challenge with everyone. Trying to keep up my motivation espeically now that I am almost where I want to be physically but I want to stay here so can't start slumming now. Good Luck everyone! Since this is the first challenge I have done, does anyone know if there is a way to create a group…

I knew about doing this with squash but never thought about it with these other veggies.

When I was tested they had me walk barefoot on a treadmill so they could see exactly how my foot was hitting the ground.

If you go get evaluated it will most likely narrow your shoe options down a lot. I use to get shin splints so I went to a shoe store and got evaluated and it has pretty much cured my shin splints. Almost never get them anymore as long as I wear those shoes. Not just any shoe stores do the evaluating. I would research the…

When I eat at Chipotle I have started getting the burrito bowl to save calories on the tortilla. I also only eat half and save the rest for the next day. Even though I use to eat the whole thing it always made me feel so stuffed, so eating half really is the perfect amount. Sometimes I will get the kids size chips too.

Very true but this is more addicting :). I can't stay away from here. Good Luck on your journey!

My trainer suggests protein to be at 45%, carbs 40% fat 15%. MFP is definitely too low especially if you do any weight or strength training.
