For a year I cycled between hypo and hyper but my blood tests were always "normal". It wasn't until I started having extreme hyper symptoms for 3 months and then I switched to hypo symptoms that my blood work came back as out of range and I started treatment with Synthroid. I was later told I had gone through Thyroiditis.…

I love my Ozeri 4x3razor ...I ordered it from Amazon and it's really light and thin.

When I was a size 34H/34I I would always modify the exercises I was doing to make myself more comfortable, but still keeping the intensity. I never did a true jumping jack, always a half jack. Even now, 18 months after my breast reduction, I still don't like doing the jumping jacks in the 30DS video...still do half jacks :)

I agree. The one time I tried to drink 8 glasses I felt so sick that night it was awful. I usually drink around 4 - 6 and feel good.

I watched a stand up comedian on the weekend who talked about all the frozen bananas in his freezer that his wife swears is going to use to make banana bread. I thought my husband was going to pee his pants laughing...needless to say my freezer is full of a lot of bananas LOL.

I always buy only 3 or 4 at a time as I can't eat them fast enough either. I also buy them on the greener side.

I'm going to have to search for some of these. We have a Boxee Box set up on our big screen and it has a Youtube app I think. That will work great. Thanks. I love my Wii...I alternate between EA Active 2 and Zumba 2. I fit my workouts in whenever I get 20 - 30 minutes in my day.

My resistance bands came in a pack of 3 ...all 3 are different resistance so I can decide which one to use for each exercise. It also came in a little travel pouch.

Yes. My manual scale said I was 160, the Wii Fit game said I was 150 and the Wii Active game said I was 155. So...I was at my doctors the other day and asked to use their scale and it turned out I was 155 so I'm sticking with Active 2 to get my weight. It's weird how each can vary so much.

I'd love to use our Kinect if my kids would ever get off the Xbox LOL. But the few times I've tried it I get sweaty pretty fast and don't even realize I'm exercising...I'm just trying to kick my kids butts in a game LOL. I do use the Wii everday and love it.

I can't remember exactly but it's a cartoon about a "woman's yearly physical" exam. I remember getting a good chuckle out of it though LOL.

I love my Wii...it's the only thing that I've tried that I have really stuck with. I have EA Active 2, Wii Fit Plus and Zumba 2.

I use bands instead. They came in a travel pack with 3 bands of different resistance.

My twins are 12 and I still have twin skin! LOL. Big flabby belly and lots of stretchmarks. There better be hope to get rid of this! LOL

I like Wii Active 2.

I just bought Zumba 2 for my Wii on the weekend. I've tried it once so far and I was so sweaty after just 30 minutes! LOL. I found myself laughing a lot at my lack of coordination but that's what makes it fun.

I'm not sure how different a lift is from a reduction but I had a reduction last year and I took almost two weeks to go back to work. It took almost two months before I started very light exercise. I'm assuming a lift is a more minor surgery though?

I used to wear a 32H...now that's hard to find LOL!! I'm now (post breast reduction) a 34D and believe it or not this size is still hard to find. Oh, and the most I ever spent on a custom fit bra was $150!

I found I had to wear 2 sports bras to keep them sort of under control. I always looked at those really good ones online and wished I had bought one. I've since had a breast reduction last year so it's not really a concern anymore LOL.

Exercise DVDs and Wii Active 2. I like these way better than going to the gym.

I've got it on hold from the library so I'll pick it up and start on the 1st with everyone else. If I like it I'll grab a copy for myself.

My mom recently had a TSH of 0 and she was confirmed hyperthyroid (Graves) but the weird thing is she was gaining weight like crazy. Her endocronologist said it can happen that you can gain weight with hyper.

The only thing I know of is time. I had twins so my stomach was REALLY big and I have a lot of stretch marks. That was 12 years ago so they're pretty much faded now but they're still there. I still wear a bikini and I could care less what others think of my marks LOL.

Just this morning I did my usual once a week weight check and I'm, you guessed it, still 150lbs. Though I feel stronger and healthier I have been the same weight since last August. I've decided to give up on the weight loss thing and just concentrate on keeping up with exercising and healthy food choices. I used to be a…

I've been stuck at 150 since last August. Upped my calories a week ago and I'm exactly the same weight as last week. Come to think of it...I ate like a PIG at Christmas for 2 solid weeks and I never gained weight. Maybe my body is just happy at this weight.

I'd like to know this as well. I tried to drink all 8 glasses for a couple days last week and not only did I have to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes, but I felt really lousy by the end of those days.

I have found it to be more difficult when they are older because you can't watch them 24/7 as this is when they are starting to become independent and they have a lot of influences outside of the home. And as much as you hope they are following what you've taught them there is no guarantees.

I developed 2 different autoimmune diseases at the same time so I'm not 100% sure I can differentiate between the two but I'm pretty sure my hypo symptoms were the usual - hair loss, weight gain, no energy, dry skin and there are some others. Even though I've been treated (Synthroid) for a few years now I still have…

I've been at the same weight for many months as well. I just upped my calories last week so I'll see if it made a difference. I don't weigh in until tomorrow morning.

I (re)started January 1st and haven't lost a pound LOL! But, I can RUN up our 2 flights of stairs in the house and I'm definately feeling a lot stronger than I was.
