Orangetheory Fitness (OTF) Discussion
I just recently tried a free class and ultimately joined OTF. I would like to hear of other peoples experiences? Such as if weight loss is your focus, did you find it was harder (I ask because so far on the days I go to OTF I am so hungry so I am currently trying to balance)? I don't buy into their claims of afterburn…

Antibiotics and Hunger?
I am currently on a round of antibiotics (Clarithromycin ER) and also prednisone. I took my last dose of prednisone yesterday and have a few more days of antibiotics. I have been experiencing extreme hunger, I can eat something substantial and feel severe hunger pangs right away like I haven't eaten all day. I am also…

New fav snack
I just made some rosemary ham and smoked cheddar roll-ups. Just the cheese rolled up in the ham. This is now my new favorite snack. It was soooooo delicious. What are some of your go-to snacks? Edit to add: Some days I only have a bunch of snacks instead of bigger meals, so need more ideas!

Hypo but with Hyper symtoms
I was diagnosed with Hashi's in 2011 and started on a 25mcg dose of Synthroid that has been gradually increased to 125mcg. My sister also has Hashi. Most of the time I have more symptoms of hyperthyroid: flushing, heat sensitivity, sweating, diarrhea, fatigue (both), etc. I do have slight weight gain issues (just barely…

Withdrawl symptoms
I have been gluten free for two weeks now. Doing an elimination diet to see if it helps my digestive issues (doctors orders) and also I have done a lot of research that there has been positive results with Hashimoto's patients (me). Last week I could hardly keep my eyes open and then all of a sudden I felt "clear headed"…

Thyroid Fat Loss Summit
Are any of you guys listening in to the pre-recorded interviews this week for the Thyroid Fat Loss Summit (thyroidfatlosssummit.com)? So far there has been some pretty interesting information. I have been listening to them, two a day, usually an hour each, at my leisure while working.

Learned my lesson
Last night we went to On the Border mexican restaurant. I thought I was doing good by ordering two of the grilled fish tacos. When I got home I went to put them into my diary, and when I looked it up on here someone had them as 600 cals, meh not too bad I guess. BUT THEN I go to the On the Border site and look them up, for…

Salsa ideas
I just made a "healthy" quesadilla by using lean sirloin, lower carb whole wheat tortilla, and plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It was super duper tasty. But the star of the show was the salsa that I bought in the produce section of the store. It is the best salsa I have ever had. So, here is my question, what do…

Low Sodium, High Protein, Low Carb Bfast
I need some ideas for breakfast that are low sodium, high protein, and low in carbs. I usually eat Kashi Go Lean High Protein, High Fiber cereal.....but it is also high carb. I just had a breakfast of scrambled egg with a little cheddar, and some turkey bacon. I knew going into this meal that it was high in sodium, but…

Weigh vs. Measure...Food
Recently I have found that if you only measure food, dry food especially, then it isn't a very accurate serving size. I don't seem to have this problem with liquids though. Just out of curiousity the other day I was cooking just one serving of cheese tortellini. The package said that a serving size was 1/2 a cup so I…

Awesome video...
This isn't my succcess story but I know people come to this section on the boards to see visual proof of others hard work paying off. Here is a video I saw on MSN, sorry for anyone else that might have posted it, I looked and didn't see it. It is a really short video.…

Walking vs. Treadmill Walking
Today I dragged myself out of bed at 5:30 am and drove to the gym only to find that I couldn't get in. It is a key access gym and usually I just swipe my card and the light turns green and I open the door. Today, the light turned green but the door wouldn't open so I know it wasn't just me. Plus when I pulled up and…

Exercise induced asthma
Does anyone on here suffer from it? I am not sure if I do or not but something sure is going on. After I have been on the treadmill for about 3-5 minutes I feel like my throat is closing up and the roof of my mouth aches and I can't get deep breaths. The aching throat and such seems to subside after maybe 10-15 minutes…

Apico...oral surgery
Has anyone on here ever had an apico done? It is where they have to cut open your gums and drill into the bone to remove the tip of the root. It is sort of like a reverse root canal from what I see. I am having it done later this week and just want to know what to expect pain wise and recovery time. Thanks.

Pre Gym snack
I joined the gym last night and did my first workout this morning before work. I got to the gym at 6:15 and knew I needed a snack before working out but it was too early for breakfast for me. I stopped and got a NutriGrain bar on the way but the sugar and calories in those are too high for the amount eaten I think. Does…

Well I have yet to step foot in the fitness room and I have lived in my new apartment since the begining of June! I think I just don't…
