First week
I finished my first week on keto. I lost 7lbs. I'm happy with that. It's been difficult. Trying to keep food on hand so I don't cheat. I had two cheats. Easter was hard lol.

Weight loss supplements
I think they would be called supplements. My Dr. Prescribed me phentermine and diethylproprion. I'm counting my calories. I'm doing little to light exercise. Only because i have chronic pain from a couple auto immune diseases. But I'm steadily losing the last couple of weeks so I'm pleased. I only just started taking the…

Noob
Hello! New to phentermine. This is my third day. So far so good on it. I am noticing the loss of appetite more today. I also noticed that it does wear off in the evening. I haven't had any trouble with insomnia but that could be because I take a lot of other meds too that make me drowsy. I did wake up at 4:30 this morning…

Flare Up - What things trigger them
I am so new to RA, and I read people talk about flare ups etc, and I was wondering what sort of things can bring on a flare up? What brings on your flare ups? What are your flare ups like?

Juicing and serving size
What is a serving size for juicing? Is it a cup/ 8oz? Been trying the juicing thing....tried a new recipe for each time I have juiced. There is only one that I like and actually drank the whole thing...which was 16 oz. The others, I was barely able to get down 8oz. My fav so far is the mean green: Kale cucumber celery…

Hi! New and Just started :-)
Hi ladies! I just found your group today, and I just started the 30 day shred today. This is actually my second time doing it. I forgot the routine, but remembered as it went along. I am so much stronger this time around. I didn't have to take a break at all. It feels good doing it. I had good results the first time I did…

Up down up down
Geez! My tests show that my levels are down again! Last time they were high. Dr. wants me to quite the cytomel. *sigh* I don't think they know whats what. Giving up. Too much to deal with. Have Rheumatoid arthritis now as well as fibromyalgia and a ton of new meds. I just feel crappy all the time....I don't even care what…

New to this group
Hi! I have been on MFP for seven months now. Yes, I have only lost 16 pounds in that time. So many factors at work against me here. I have an underactive thyroid (hashimotos) that I have been dealing with for 18 years. I was diagnosed in May with Degenerative disc and joint disease in my spine. I was just recently…

Weight loss so dang slow
I am getting so discouraged. I have been at this for four months now. I started logging after I had lost 3 pounds already. So technically I have lost 16 pounds all together. Which I suppose is on track for one pound a week. I lose the weight wierd too. Not actually at one pound per week. It will be like, Bam! I lose 3 lbs…

Labs back
Dr. called today with my labs. My T4 was high so we are lowing the levothyroxin again. I get to keep the cytomel. Yay! My vitamin D is extremely low, so I have to take 5000 / day. I will go back in a another month to get levels tested again.

checking levels
So I went to my Dr. last week. She wants to do labs to check my levels....she freaked out that I had lost that much weight in almost 4 weeks. I told her I have been working my butt off for it! I think my body was just catching up anyway. I am right on track for 1 pound loss per week of how long I have been exercising and…

its working
I lost 4 pounds this last week! It just melted right off! I have never lost that much in a week. Its amazing! I think it is due to starting the cytomel. My body is liking something different to work with. I have been working out as usual. Even did a little less actually because i can't stand the work out level I am on so…

gluten & celiacs
Can any of you tell me what it is like if you develop a gluten allergy? I have been reading a lot about this lately, and I am beginning to think that I may have a gluten intolerance now. Also, if you do is it considered Celiacs or is it just an allergy? Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone can read my posts. I made a post last week and NO ONE replied to it. Yet I come here and see so many other posts and all of them have replies.....Can anyone read this??? On another note. Been taking the cytomel for a few days now. My scale is finally moving! I havn't really noticed anything yet…

Ok here are the results from my blood tests. My Dr. sent them to me in the mail. I go see her today. In the note she says stay on current dose of 150mcg of levothyroxine daily. So no change!!!! We will see about that! TSH - 1.05 T3 - 1.05 T4 - 1.51 Says they are all within the normal range and everything Looks good. No…

Meds & your insurance
Hey all! I am going in this a.m. for my labs to be drawn for my appt. next week. I am excited. Because I know my Dr. has previously discussed Armour, and recently discussed adding cytomel. But it is all dependent on my labs. My question is about insurance. Is Armour more expensive than levothyroxine? If so, what are you…

New here, have been hypo for 18 years
Hi everyone. New to this group. I have been on MFP faithfully for a month now. I have managed to lose 4 lbs in that month. I feel like it should be more however because I have worked my butt off. But I will live with the 4 lbs lost, since it is technically on target. I used to be a heavy soda drinker, and snacked on…

calorie question
Ok, so we count our calories each day. I have read that some do a weekly thing? So if we go over a bit on a couples days during the week, and we are under a couple days during the week....does it all just equal out at the end of the week? Or should we be concentrating on not going over at all on any day? I am hoping this…

Weight Snobs
I have been cruising around the boards for awhile now, reading various different posts on this subject or that topic. Some are great and others not so much. One thing I am noticing on a lot of threads....so many of the members seem to act so snobbish, if you will and sometimes downright rude...I really notice it in the…

Questions or such
Hi! Read your posts on guidelines etc. Still a bit confused. Sorry. I go to the sweat option and then pick the 7-day challenge. I don't see where you can pick your own songs. My songs are in groups. I also don't know what you mean by Difficulty option and sweat option? When you put "song title" Difficulty 1 Sweat 3…

1 lb Finally!
lol...I am finally down 1 lb. I have been logging here for two weeks now. I finally have a 1 lb loss. I worked hard for it too! But! I also am down 1/2" in my hips. It is good to finally see something even if it is small. It gets real discouraging when the scale doesn't move. Happy I am measuring as well.

Hi New Here :)
Hello, my name is Lucy. I am new to MFP. I am working on losing weight, and getting into a better exercise routine. I have always found it hard to stick with the exercise, and I have never really watched my calorie intake so keeping track of that is eye opening. I am hoping that I will be more accountable now and my goal…
