Do you chew your Armour?
I keep seeing this suggestion... But I gag really easy and so I haven't tried doing this. How many people out there chew their Armour Thyroid. I do take it twice a day, my doctor thought I was weird because I asked him if I could do this and then even the pharmacist thought it was weird that my prescription said to do…

5'6 or 5'7", around 155 pounds, how many calories?
I was hoping to see what others around my size were eating? I did have my calories set at 1300 for a while, but changed it to 1500 a few weeks ago...

Vacation eating/ what is your maintenance calorie amount?
Soooo frustrated. I have been eating 1200 calories plus about 400 exercise calories and slowly losing. Lost about 14 over 7 weeks. Great for me!

Calories to subtract or my hypothyroid...
So I read somewhere online about calculating out how many calories someone that is hypothyroid should eat... It stated that you basically have to subtract an extra 200 from what a calculator like MFP has. But why 200? Each of our thyroids work differently and have to figure out how they each work. So I have been set at…

Want to still log in my exercise calories burned...
New here! So I figured out all of my numbers and my TDEE minus 15% is 2101. I plan to try this out, but my problem is eating hat much on non exercise days, I don't feel like I should...

Using HRM for calories burned
So I am not sure if this is the right way to do it, but I find that my heart rate after exercising takes 3-5 minutes to drop back under 100. It gets as high as 170 or so with my current exercises and my resting is around 70-80. But when I am done exercising, I keep the HRM on until my heartrate gets below 100. I figure I…

Premade breads that you like!
I have tried a bunch with LITTLE luck! But here is what I like! Glutino - English muffins & Plain Bagels (but the bagels are almost 400 calories, so while a good substitute, not so good for calories) 3 Bakers - Rye Free Rye Bread (the YUMMIEST bread I have found, if you like caraway seeds)

Eating back what HRM says? Too much? MATH PROBLEM
So my mathematical side of my brain has a question... Let's see if we can say this the right way... I read online that if you wear your HRM for an hour while watching tv or something that you can then multiply that number of a lories burned by 24 to get your amount of calories burned in a sedentary day. Make sense? So then…
