Introduce yourself
Hello and welcome! Use this thread to introduce yourself, look for new MFP friends, and tell us your story! I'm Bethany, from Buffalo, NY (and no we don't get THAT much snow!) and I've been using myfitnesspal for over 2 years, but recently switched to the perfect health diet (April 2013). And just a tip for those of you…

Need your help! Armour Thyroid / Cytomel (T3)
Hi everyone - I want to approach my doctor at my next appointment about switching to Armour or AT LEAST adding T3 to my synthroid. I'm nervous as the last 2 doctors I brought this up to brushed me off immediately. I've been reading a lot since finding this group and feel really encouraged by the fact that I'm not the only…

Restaurant eating
continued from intro chat! I am with Shar, I stick to meat and veggies UNLESS the restaurant has an allergen menu that I can view from the table (online or printed out). Having worked in restaurants I don't have any fear of asking really specific questions about the oils they use, etc. Sometimes it results in the waitress…

Paleo/Primal apps
Anyone have experience with any good Paleo/Primal apps? I tried EatFindr but didn't like it (doesn't filter out soybean oil) and I also downloaded HealthyOut, Primal Paleo Free, and Fooducate. I was looking at Paleogogo but it's $4 and doesn't seem worth it (I know I shouldn't eat the bun!!). Any other suggestions or…

Newbie! Need some new friends
I'm going to be starting a Paleo/Perfect Health diet sometime next week (to be totally honest I have some rye bread in the fridge I don't want to throw out). No thyroid, no parathyroids. Looking for friends with open diaries so I can get meal ideas... this will be a huge shift for me because although I've been eating 1200…

Common "growing pains" ?
New to this and I'm wondering what sort of "side effects" I should expect in the first days/weeks... I assume my body is going to make me think I need sugar/gluten/wheat etc (I'm totally jonesin' for some right now) but are there any physical things I should look out for and accept as normal, like lethargy, headaches, etc?

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I'm meeting a friend for dinner in a mall food court today (it's a long story why) and I need suggestions on what the heck I can eat in there! I'd rather not get stuck eating a plain green salad but I really don't want to blow my whole week!

Eating back your exercise calories
Hi all - I know in the normal forums everyone is adamant about eating back your exercise calories. I've had bad experiences with this, typically resulting in weight gain. I haven't done it for more than a week or so, though, because of the gain, so I guess it's possible that it would balance out eventually. What do other…

Just need to rant to someone who understands...
I spent last weekend in a low-income part of our city building a community garden. 80 degrees, no shade to be found, building and shoveling manure & top soil all day. So I figured it was my oppurtunity to safely eat a bagel on Saturday, and a bun with my turkey burger on Sunday. Boy, was I wrong! I gained 5 pounds!! HOW IS…

How do I stop doing this?! I need advice!
I've just reached 30lbs of weight lost and I'm having trouble realizing what size I am... I keep grabbing clothing 1-2 sizes too big in stores, and can't wrap my head around the idea that my old clothes might fit again! Today I went to grab a skirt, nervous and hoping all the way to my "smaller closet" that it would fit…

60 Calorie peanut butter chocolate cookies!
I hate low cal cookie recipes that just instruct you to make tiny cookies. These are normal sized :-) Do NOT skip the chocolate chips, they make the cookie. Enjoy :-) White sugar, 1/4 cup Truvia - 18 packets Eggbeaters, 1/2 cup Brown sugar, 2 Tbsp packed Better'n Peanut Butter, 1 cup Cocoa, unsweetened, 4 tbsp Baking…
