Call me crazy.....
.............But my dr. put me on a low dose of synthroid 6 weeks ago and yesterday it dawned on me that I have fingernails. Now I know that sounds silly but for years and years I haven't been able to grow any fingernails. And if they did grow they were paper thin, and peeling and breaking and tearing. I have fingernails…

Basal Body temp?
Has anyone used their basal body temp to either help in diagnosis or figure out if their meds are working properly in those with hypothyroidism? I've read lots of different articles and in my mind it does make sense but seems to be controversial......especially in "modern medicine" where I think we'd be possibly laughed at…

Cals burned during "bootcamp"
Just wondering if anyone has a general approximation of how many calories would be burned in an hour of bootcamp? I realize each bootcamp is different. I don't need or expect anything exact - I'm just wondering if it's going to be like 300 or like 900. I am just wondering how many extra calories I'm going to need for the…

Activity Level?
So I am wondering how you are supposed to know what your usual activity level is? I picked lightly active. I work in an office though not so much a "desk" job. I am up and about throughout the day as well as do a lot of lifting off and on (depending on the season - somedays I could move 100+ bags of seed or chemical that…

Opinions - Red Bull/AMP/Xyience/Monster/Rock Star
And the list goes on and on and on Opinions/knowledge about energy drinks anyone......I am sure there are lots. I don't think they are as bad as they are made out to be but I don't understand all the hype about the taurine. I have read about it some and from what I understand it is produced naturally in our bodies and does…

applesauce for butter?
I have substituted applesauce for butter/oil in muffins/cakes/loaves before but never for cookies. I was thinking I would make the kids some choc chip cookies and try substituting applesauce for the butter. Does it work just as well for cookies?

30 pounds - Now I see a difference :)
I started losing weight during/after last summer - slowly but surely 30+ pounds have come off. I see the difference in my clothes, having gone from a 36 (or 16) to a 32 (12) in pants and an XL (mostly to hide my tummy and muffin top) to a M in shirts. But when I look at myself now, I don't see a big change. I mean, I…

Almond milk??
Just wondering why one would choose almond milk instead of skim milk? Is it better for you (and why) or just a personal preference?

Too much protein???
Now that I am tracking my food at every meal I am shocked to find out that I go over my protein goal nearly everyday - somedays by almost 40 grams!!!. Is this bad or going to affect me negatively? I guess I consume a large amount at breakfast with a protein shake or an egg white omelette or some toast with PB2. But if I…
