I'm getting a corset made by these guys https://www.facebook.com/SINched as part of my wedding dress. I can't wait. At my smallest weight, I have a 24" waist. I'm not too far from that now at about 26 or 27". I do anticipate losing more weight before I get married in a year. I know I won't lose much in my mid-section, but…

You can call me. :wink:

I would say BDSM.

WIN! OP, perhaps you should consider eating more than 1,200 calories around your period. Maybe even 1,400 or 1,500? This is okay to do for 3 or 4 days.

My sweetheart. We've been together 4 years today. :smooched:

We do, and if you have edema, the sodium in sodas is probably the least of your worries. I'd consult a doctor about how much sodium you should have.

You may still be under medicated. Try natural dessicated thyroid instead of $ynthroid. It works better for LOTS of people. Check out thyroid.about.com and stopthethyroidmadness.com. Pay attention to your free T4. If mine's not well over 1.0, I'm NOT being optimally treated. Trust me. At 1.5, I'm finally a functional human…

*SIGH* We are ladies.

One with a slight calorie deficit. Srsly.

HAHAHAHA!!! You too???? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We ALL have screw up days. NO ONE is immune. Some of us just need to work harder on not throwing our hands up in the air and saying I'm just not logging this. ( <-- ) Well done, OP.

*shrug* I cover my bra with a t-shirt. Just sayin'...

I found $70 to get my RMR tested to be money well spent. You breathe into a machine for 10 minutes. Sometimes when you have this much problem it's best to have a real number to work with. The nutritionist dietician whatever he was guy gave me basic calorie ranges for weight loss, maintenance, and gain. Very useful.

Have you ever had your blood sugar tested?

ME. I'm not diagnosed, but it ain't hard to figure out. I don't know what I'd do if melatonin quit working for me. Up the dose? I need at least 1mg.

Who said chocolate can't be clean? I love Endangered Species or Green & Black's 70%. The bars with fruit in them are absolutely delicious.

I would avoid endocrinologists. Trust me. Not worth it. Find a decent GP. Pay attention to not just your TSH, but your free T3 and free T4 as well. You want them both higher than the low end of the range. Ask to be put on dessicated thyroid. The stuff from Canada is great. Read stopthethyroidmadness.com. If your doctor…

I can't believe no one has yet pointed out that this thread is in violation of forum rules and will be shut down.

Eggs and a banana is exactly what I was thinking. I'm more worried about exercise-induced hypoglycemia than anything.

How do you all feel about protein, like an egg or 2 before a run?

I have serious love for their canned olives. No salt added, so I can dump them into a container with vinegar, which they soak up. Voila. Sour olives without all the salt of the ones in jars.

Eggplant hummus, the little Belgian dark chocolate bars, the Greek yogurt, the Rainbow trail mix (buy at your own risk), olive oil, spices, and my FAVORITE... the frozen veggie mélange. And their cheeses are awesome. You could have a new cheese every week and not run out for a good long time! Oh, and the cookie butter is…

I'm going to try all of this! THANK ALL OF YOU. :flowerforyou:

I think I'm turned on. :love:

Two words: lift heavy.

I wish I could say clean eating helped me! LOL. I swear St. John's wort is helping, though. I still have an elevated appetite, but those monsterous, wanna kill someone if I don't get pizza, chocolate, etc. cravings are way better. Also, I have no problem getting boxes of the little Trader Joe's Belgian dark chocolate bars.…

I got a thing for blue eyes. Fiance's are big and round and blue. Beautiful. :heart: #9 is my Doctor.

He's got big ears, big teeth, a long pointy nose, but OMG there is something about that man that is just HOT. :devil:

Yeah, there's a reason I didn't mention Rupert. He just doesn't have that right spark to be the Doctor. Then again, he was playing an awkward teenager, so who knows? Hey, what about the guy who played Neville? He's not a ginger, and I have NO clue how good he'd be in the role, but he'd damn sure be fun to look at...
