No Thyroid? Weight Loss?
I had my thyroid removed about two years due to cancer. Since then I've been on Levothyroxine; my dosage ranging from 150 to 225. I have also been putting more and more weight on.

Meal Prep ( I think I'm doing it wrong)
So, every week I cook, prepare and individually package breakfast, lunch and two snacks for the week. I cook dinner 6 days a week and one is what we call "fend for yourself" night.

Supplements?
Here lately I haven't had the energy to workout, at home or at the gym. Then when I do muster the energy to workout, I can't find it again for at least three days. So, my question is how many of my MFP peeps use pre and post workout supplements? What do you use? And why does it work for you?

How much sugar do I really need?
MFP has me set up on 24g of sugar per day, I always go over. I don't eat candy, ice cream or large amounts of fruits, etc. If I splurge it's on fat free hot cocoa or peanut butter. My question is though, is a reasonable number to try and stay in.

Small Accomplishment = Great Feeling
I've hit one of my first goals. One month today I told myself no more fast food; I have upheld that goal for one month now. I never thought I could actually do it. I would eat fast food at least 3x a week if not more, but I feel so much better now without all that crap food in my body.

Living "like" a diabetic
Yesterday I went to the doctor, good news is I'm still cancer free!!! Bad news (in my eyes) is that for me to stay that way and to ensure a healthy weight and a healthy body in the future he suggested I start to live "like" a diabetic would. Which boils down to no refined sugar or simple carbs. After leaving the doctors, I…
