Hello everyone, I am a mom of two and need to lose about 90 pounds as well. I have just quit weight watchers and am back on MFP. I am looking for friends as well (a lot of my friends from before dropped off as I was not active on MFP for a while). I have recently in the last 6 months gained 30 of those 90 pounds due in…

Thanks editorgrrl. I have been tracking this whole time - I was doing Weight Watchers.

I have gained weight on meds with Graves disease. During this time I was diligently tracking my eating (on Weight Watchers). Yes in some people Graves and then the treatment of the graves makes one gain weight!

I have trouble either falling asleep or staying asleep! I absolutely think it is due to my thyroid!

I am a little late in replying but just wanted to welcome you to the group....

bumping up as I realized my posting to a lot of other posts pushed my post down lol. Hoping someone replies....

My Dr just wrote me a prescription for a compounded form of armour. I will report back onhow I feel once I start taking it

oh yeah and about the question on FB - I don't 'do' facebook and would be very sad if you guys started hanging out there instead and this board died!

Oh I just saw this I am one of the guilty ones who joined and dont log/check in regularly because a) I have little kids and a full time job and b) you can't access the group from your phone which is how I mostly log into MFP. Please dont take the group away. I much appreciate having a safe place to come and vent to people…

When I'm talking to someone mid sentence and completely lose my train of thought - not for a second or two (or ten) the thoug is gone completely - when I get thought of as much older than I am because of the hairloss, dry and brittle skin and dark circles - when my rapid and irregular heartbeats are brushed off as 'all in…

Thank youto the original poster that posted this and to all that have replied. I was diagnosed with hashimotos 2 years ago but my tsh levels are supposedly normal so depicted all my symptoms of falling hair, dry skin, sensitivity to sugar and rapid heartbeats etc I have been told by my pcp and endo that I just need to live…

thanks for your replies everyone. I will see my dr soon. But I have also been researching and apparently you can get the symptoms of hypoglycemia even when your blood sugar is on its way down, not necessarily when its super low. I have cut out the shakes for now and will just eat my veggies instead as that does not cause…

thanks I will check with my dr again. Just to be clear the last time I got my fasting glucose and A1C (sp?) checked was about 6 months back and it was normal.

thanks I thought 100 was the limit so 119 after eating something (maybe 30 mins) was close to normal.

thanks - yes I did have some tea before the veggie juice - it was two cups with a little sugar and milk in each cup.

I am trying it right now but not a juice fast. I have a veggie (with limited fruit) juice for breakfast, then have a sensible lunch, dinner and snack. Seems to be working so far!

I can relate to so many of the posts. I have been called fat by family and told that if I was thin I was good looking enough to stop traffic (lol) I have had the ex bf who when he told me he was interested and wanted to date me (I had a big time crush) also told me he was embarrassed because his friends thought I was fat.…

I am - feel free to add me

love it!

Absolutely fantastic! You have transformed physically and mentally! Would love to add you as a friend for inspiration!

thank you all for your suggestions. I did not even think of the scanner app as the WW scanner app is not that good. For me, I think getting active again is the most important and feeling like I can keep up with my young kids. Hopefully weightloss should follow!

Congratulations you look fantastic! Can I just say you were beautiful before you lost the weight too!
