Road Trip Food Suggestions
Spring break time is coming up, along with a good old fashioned road trip. You know the one where you drive eight hours a day and do a pit stop for 10 minutes to grab food, use a bathroom, and then back on the freeway. I'm new to the protein/veggie meals, and would like some suggestions on what to order while away from…

My college aged son is going to live off campus this semester without a meal plan and I have no idea how much I should allow for a weekly or monthly grocery budget. I'm so used to buying for our family of five with three teenagers. I know there's some variables depending upon locale/stores, but I'd like to get some…

Protein Suggestions
Newbie here trying to figure out how to get all of my daily protein. To compound things, I'm lactose intolerant and will take a Lactaid pill here and there when I have cheese or attempt ice cream. Aside from protein powder (got the soy one) and eating a hunk of meat (love chicken and fish), what do you ladies like to eat?

Who's Hyper and on Methimazole?
There seems to be lots of women here that are hypo, but I've been hyper for almost three months. After years of being hypo and taking Synthroid, in July I started experiencing hyper symptoms (warm, high heart rate, hands shaking, super hungry, etc.) and it was confirmed in August with my endocrinologist. After cuttiing my…

Became Hyper Due to Weight Loss?
For something like 30 years I've been on Synthroid because I'm hypo, until recently. After weeks of not feeling like myself, being terribly warm, feeling weak, hungry hungry all of the time, heart rate high (while resting and through the roof while working out), I got my blood drawn.

Do you have unsupportive people in your life?
It's mainly the people closest to me - my family (NOT MFP friends who have been THE best!) that don't seem to have anything supportive to say about my weight loss. I've been at it for one month now, and am making consistent progression. It's not that they are saying hurtful things, it's more that they don't acknowledge my…

Day Two of ??

The impetus was putting on my favorite black dress pants for work yesterday and they were tight. I don't know how clothes seem to fit fine one week, and not the…
