Anyone here have Hashimoto?
Hello, I was diagnosed this week with Hashimoto, and we are waiting for my results to come back for my thyroid ultrasound that I had done two days ago. I just started some new meds, and I think I'm just a little surprised by the diagnosis. So I thought I would reach out to the board and see if anyone else has the same…

Bloodwork Results
I recently went to the doctor for a physical and my blood tests results came back. So my cholesterol total was 188, triglycerides 64, HDL 53 and my LDL cholesterol was 122 which she says is high. She was happy with the HDL, but worried about the high LDL cholesterol. I'm sure I had similar blood draws before I started Keto…

So hungry
Alright, I'm starving. I'm not sure what I should do exactly. I have been doing steady state cardio for 45 minutes 5x a week for 14 weeks. I added in weight training three weeks ago which I do about 4 days a week. I've noticed since last week I am so hungry. I'm eating 1800 calories a day and I have been doing low…

What a difference 50 pounds makes

Intimidated to lift weights at the gym
So I've been going to the gym for a little over two months now and doing steady state cardio, but I know I need to add in strength training, however I feel completely lost and intimidated by being in that area of the gym. It's not that I think everyone is so buff and I do not belong in that area but I feel like I'm going…

Buying a pork/beef?
Does anyone here have any experience in buying pork or beef local-grass fed? I'm thinking about trying it out, but I really don't know where to begin. I'm in Texas and after a quick search it looks like I have some options, but I'm still a little leary. Can anyone offer any advice or tips?

Gaining weight
Okay, I know this is nothing to freak out about, but I weigh myself everyday (bad habit) and normally I do not freak out if it increases, but since I weighed in on Saturday I'm up 2.6 pounds!! Normally I stay the same for a few days but each day I weight I'm up a little over .5 a pound each day. This has not happened to me…

Not in Keto =(
I've been eating around 21 carbs for about 7 weeks. I've been losing at a great pace. I feel good, but I still feel hungry. My cravings are starting to go away. But I want to achieve keto. So I purchased a blood ketone meter and yesterday afternoon I tested my blood because I had never used anything like it before and…

How often do you change macros?
I'm curious how often I should be looking at my calories? I've been using the keto calculator to get my macros, and it has not changed in 10 pounds, I actually am still using the same macros from when I first started. So is there a rule of thumb?

Carb Nites?
Anyone read the article in Woman's World titled Atkins Breakthrough, basically it says to eat 30 or less carbs per day and every 5 days from 6pm to bedtime or whatever designated time you decide, you eat carbs. The article basically says this allows your body to burn fat more efficiently. How is this possible? I could…

Bulletproof Coffee
So I'm doing my own version of bulletproof coffee, I do not have the bulletproof coffee beans. I use 1 tbsp kerrygold butter, 1tbsp coconut oil, 1 tbsp MCT oil, I'm still hungry after I drink this. I've heard people say that are full until lunch. Is it because of the coffee beans I'm using or what?

I cannot believe I did this
Today has been a struggle. I do not know how normal this is by on day 9/10 I felt so good, as the days go by I seem to crave more carbs. So tonight in my moment of weakness, I call home and say I want olive garden and get my mother and daughters order. I call olive garden and order our food including my favorite pasta…

Alright, so I am 12 days in and I have been doing a great job (IMO) and today I woke up to some lovely bathroom issues. Normally when this happens I would try and eat some rice and take some immodium, what do you low carbers do when your sick?

Hungry
Okay, seems like I must be doing something wrong because I feel like I am never full. I started Paleo about 4 weeks ago, I usually have great success eating this way 4-5 days a week, weekends come up and I go haywire. So once again I'm starting on Monday (yesterday) with the intention of doing this completely for thirty…

Hello, really struggling
Hello, I'm new to this part of MFP. I was a vegetarian for about 20 years, I really hate the taste/texture of all meat. Then I went to this Chinese dr. that does nutritional response testing...she basically told me to cut everything out (grains/dairy/artificial sweeteners/soy) it all sounded like something else I had heard…

Have been doing Medifast but can't continue need advice
Why I ever left myfitnesspal is beyond me, and here I am again...back. I was inspired to try Medifast after my boyfriends co-worker lost 99lbs in 4 months. My boyfriend is also currently doing Medifast. This diet is not for me. Sure I can make myself do the diet, I will hate every minute of it, but I will just gain the…

The Scale....ugh
So when I first started mfp for the second time december 1st I used my boyfriends scale, I had also gone to the dr. shortly before so I thought my start weight was pretty accurate. However, he discovered that his scale was actually not correct and would weigh him 10 pounds lighter. So I was only going to weigh myself once…
