Eating before yoga practice
Do you have any suggestions for what I can eat before a yoga class? I take a yoga class at 7 and I get home from work around 5. It is a long class so eating a meal afterwards isn't really preferred. Right now, I have been sticking to eating something light like soups, fruit, smoothies, and protein shakes beforehand and…

Breathing
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to stronglifts and have been a long-time lurker (great job everyone!) I had done NROLFW in the past, but had to cancel my gym membership so I'm now back to square one. Now that I’m back in the gym and lifting weights, I’m working on my form and loving the simplicity of the program vs. new rules.…

Another Newbie Here
Hi everyone! I’m new to this group and thought I should introduce myself. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and went to a new doctor last week because of continued complications. I was recommended for thyroid surgery and this new doctor said that my thyroid being enlarged and growing may be because I’m not really being…

Hypoglycemia symptoms?
Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you deal with hypoglycemic symptoms and what did your doctor say about it? I follow a moderate low carb diet for my thyroid, so my symptoms are related to fasting lows rather than carb spikes and crashes. I also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I plan to bring this up to my next doctor’s…

When you need something sweet
hi everyone, I'm typically not a big fan of sweet things; I’d much rather have a good steak than a piece of cake, but some foods need a little bit of sweetness. What do you do when you’d like to sweeten up something you’re cooking? What type of sweetener substituted do you use? (I don’t just mean splenda or artificial…

Push up question
I know that these types of questions have been asked time and time again, but I'm looking for some additional insight on how to progress and just couldn't find any specific information. I've always had pretty weak arm strength and am so excited that I've been getting stronger, but I'm still struggling with how to improve…

Prone Jackknife
Hi everyone! I started Stage 1 today and I think I did pretty well for my first day! The only exception is that I could barely even stay on the ball for the prone jackknife let alone actually do the movement! Does anyone have any beginner tips or ways to get started with this exercise? Is this something I should just keep…

Getting up early to workout
Hi everyone! I could use some advice from other hypo-people. I have been having some trouble fitting in working out into my routine. By the time I get home from work, I feel exhausted and end up getting roped into the other things I need to get done around the house (dinner, cleaning, etc). I think my best option is to try…

New to group!
Hi everyone! I just joined MFP this month and am very pleased to find this group for thyroid support! I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and was diagnosed around 15. I do take synthroid and have my levels adjusted periodically. However, my thyroid never really tends to “die down.” My doctors are often shocked at how often I…

New (with thyroid struggles)
Hi Everyone! I’ve joined MFP with the advice of a friend that has had success for weight loss. I have used WW before with success, but found it a bit pricey since I really just wanted a food log. My main goal is to watch what I eat and notice weight gain trends. I have hashimoto’s thyroiditis and take synthroid for the…
