Thyroid Adrenal Gland Question...Metagenics Adrenogen
I've been hypothyroid for years and take Levoxyl. My symptoms have never completely gone away but I do not have insurance so I'm not able to go in like they would like me too, every 2 months to get lab work done. So I deal with probably a dose that isn't quite high enough. It was suggested that I begin taking Adrenogen by…

What do thin people do during the day?
I have a quick question for those that have either lost and gotten to goal/close to goal and/or any that only ever needed to lose just a bit of weight. During the day do you count the little things you do as exercise? Example would be a good song comes on and you dance to it and even the next one! Or you have to run up to…

Guiltless Gourmet - cuz we don't need more guilt!
I have seen this brand listed in other people's diary and yet never could find any in my stores until yesterday! I bought the Blue Corn Tortilla chips and just had some - they are amazingly good! And the calories for 16? 107! Those and a bit of hummus settled any craving I had for something not so good for me. They won't…

Those little comments can really encourage...
I really, REALLY love myfitnesspal. It is amazing to me that counting calories & regular exercise is honestly the weight loss ticket! After so many fad diets, losing & then gaining - I feel confident that this simple equation is really going to help me reach my goal of losing 100lbs. One aspect I have so appreciated is the…

Plateau = self sabotage
Am I alone in this thought? That when I hit a plateau it is of my own making? I have some freaky mindset at times that I just need to get over!! It seems that anytime I am able to lose enough weight to get close to fitting into a size 14 my inner person yells "nope. not gonna happen." and I begin to lose my focus. It…

How do you prepare for your week?
I just finished making an entire weeks worth of breakfasts for myself AND my family! I did two muffin tins of these egg/sausage/salsa/cheese things I do. Everyone loves them & they are so amazingly quick to just toss in the microwave (I freeze them) heat em up and eat. It sure makes me feel good when I do this. I feel like…

Warning - funky pics! Almost in my 1st goal Item
I have a coat that I've never been able to wear. NEVER. I only have it because I had high hopes of someday fitting it. When I started myfitnesspal in September, I made the goal that I would be wearing it before winter was over. The first funky picture is when I put it on in September to see how far away I was from wearing…

SO I am thoroughly addicted to Zoi Greek Yogurt. I have tried many, many different brands and Zoi is BY FAR the most decadent, yummy brand ever. I have the Honey flavor each and every morning and sometimes as a snack later in the day. Btw, I am not even a yogurt OR honey lover!! Here is a link for a $1.00 off coupon! They…

Little bit afraid of MFP adding more calories to my total...
I have had my activity setting on sedentary since I began on mfp. Not that I sit all of the time but I didn't think I matched up to the lightly active category either so I ended up going with sedentary. The other day I was on some site that had me input my personal info including my exercise time and the results for…

Heart Rate Monitor Questions
I just purchased a heart rate monitor yesterday. It is nothing special, a $30 Walmart special - that's what I am able to afford at the moment. The only input to put in under the personal information area was my sex and my age. Didn't ask me my weight. For some reason I thought that my weight was necessary to accurately…

Have to celebrate the small successes!
I only just began my new lifestyle, less than a month ago. I am SO HAPPY with my progress so far!! I have to thank MFP for making available this amazing site!! I know, for fact, I would not have had this success without the use of it! In less than one month I have lost 15lbs! That in itself is pretty awesome but there is…

Does this count??
I am exhausted - I spent all day today working for a friend of mine in her consignment store. I stood the entire time - 5 1/2 hours and went through consignments & helped customers. Can any of this count as exercise?? I looked in the data base and "fishing standing on a bank" burned 421 calories an hour... I'm only asking…

Green Tomatoe Recipes?
I have an abundance of green tomatoes this year - I didn't get ANY red ones due to a very crappy summer. Any ideas on what I can do with them besides the old fried green tomatoe trick? Will it make us sick to eat them in salsa? I ask that because they aren't ripe, right?

Awesome Bfast - under 300 calories!

It was 2oz of italian sausage, 1/2 of a small zucchini, 1/2 cup of raw spinach, 2 tablespoons egg white and 1/2 of an orrowheat sandwich thin & a bit o hot sauce. I diced the zuch and crumbled the sausage…

Possibly losing my mind - you tell me...
Ok so here's the deal. I just want to change my signature to reflect my new weight. It's not anything major - just a lil pound but its a pound down and I want to show it! So I have searched and searched for how to do that. I remember it being easy to create a signature to begin with but could not for the life of me find…

Finally on the way for real!
I'm basically just starting even though I actually joined in 2008. I LOVE the way myfitnesspal is setup. I have the app on my phone now too and its invaluable. I can't believe I did not take advantage of the food diary until now. I honestly think this will be the determining factor for me finally getting rid of this excess…
