Losing inches, not pounds!
I've been back on MFP for about 3 weeks now. I've been tracking everything faithfully and doing my exercises about 5-6 days a week. I do several Jillian Michaels workouts. I noticed I am getting stronger and I have lost inches on my waist and hips, but so far have only lost a pound. I just wonder how long before the muscle…

Alternative Thyroid treatments
Anyone here take Thyrolar, Armour, or a synthetic T3/T4 combo? Also has anyone switched from generic Levothyroxine to Synthroid? Was it positive or negative? I have an appointment with a real endocrinologist, and want to ask (beg) for an alternative treatment.

T3 Levels
I was glancing over my recent bloodwork, trying to figure out what's going on besides my hypothyroid. My free T3 test result was 2.5. It seemed like it was low normal. What do you guys think? Is this something that should be treated? I'm going in for more bloodwork today and requested a new T3 test to see if it changed.…

Is whey protein good when trying to lose weight?
Hi, I'm trying to lose about 30 lbs. I do Jillian Michaels dvds (No more trouble zones, and Boost your metabolism) After, my calories is above my limit (sometimes its up at 1500 when my normal limit is 1200) I've been drinking a whey protein shake after so I don't have to eat a ton of calories, but my husband says it's for…

Gluten Free
So my New Year's resolution this year is to go gluten free. I don't yet know if I have Hashimoto's, but I do know that my weight is extremely touchy. This Christmas, I indulged in a lot of cookies and gluten rich foods and boy did I feel like garbage! And gained a lot of the 9 pounds I had lost :embarassed: (I have yet to…

Vitamin D3
So does anyone else supplement with vitamin D3? I've been adding it to my diet, and my weight is finally starting to budge. Hasw anyone else had stalled weight loss that was helped after vitamin D supplementation?

Interesting article
I was looking for info on Hashimoto's Thyroidism and came across this article that I thought was interesting. What do you guys think? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-hyman/a-7-step-plan-to-boost-yo_b_247369.html

My thoughts exactly!

I want to cry!
Well, my labs came back normal. Normal to them is 3.9. I feel like crap still! :sad: What the hell!?! I thought they'd at least want to get it lower than that. Tomorrow I'm supposed to go in to get the cortisol checked and have my enlarged thyroid checked.

Plot hole?
The other day, I was rewatching the other seasons, and noticed something strange. Dr. Jenner had said that everbody was infected and no matter how you die (except brain trauma), you'll turn into a zombie. Yet, in a lot of the scenes, there are corpses in their cars who clearly didn't have any hits to the head, but didn't…

About to give up.
I've been on MyFitnessPal since May 2011. I've had marginal success when I first started, but quickly gained it back. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in October this year. Since then, I've been put on levothyroxin, eat healthy, exercise as hard as I can, yet I'm not losing the weight!! I've actually gained 3 lbs in the…

When to take meds
I've been doing a lot of research into managing hypothyroidism since I was diagnosed. It seems as though it's common for everyone to take their levothyroxin in the morning. But it sounds like it might be better absorbed if you take it at night. Does anyone here take theirs at night? have you noticed anything different?

Freezing!!
:grumble: Most days I feel pretty good. Doc is still adjusting my meds, and sometimes symptoms bother me. Yesterday and the day before, I was tired beyond belief! Today I am freezing my butt off! My hands and feet are particularly cold. I took my temp and it was 96 degrees. Right now, as I'm typing I have a little heater…

New test numbers
So my TSH has gone down from 8.3 to 5.022. My levothyroxin has been upped to 75 mcg. I really hope this will help with some of the lingering symptoms I've been having. For the most part, I've been feeling better but fatigue hits me hard at the end of the day, my joints still get achy, the cold is so not awesome (and it's…

Taking meds before a test
I'm going to go in on Monday to get my levels checked. Do people usually take their meds before a blood draw, or do you wait til after?
-
Test numbers
So my test numbers arrived, and I don't really understand them. My TSH was 8.3 and free T4 was .7. It looks like they aren't too abnormal. Right now I'm on 50mcg Levothyroxin. Will I be taking this forever? I just don't really understand it all. :huh:

Symptoms?
So, what is your strangest symptom with hypo/hyperthyroid? I think mine is my nails. Sounds weird, but my nails are in kinda poor condition, peeling layers, breaking, ridges. I even went to a doctor once a few years ago because I thought I had a nail infection or something. The doc told me to come back in a few months if…

Coffee?
So, I've eliminated soy from my diet and started eating lean meats for my protein. I'm working coconut oil into my diet, and staying away from bad carbs. But the one thing I don't want to give up is my coffee! I don't drink an excessive amount, probably 2 cups at the most. I'm drinking it at least an hour after I take my…

Hypothyroid?
Hi, I've been on Myfitnesspal for a long time now. I was a vegetarian for the better half of my life. After my second child, I really focused on losing weight, I mean, how many overweight vegetarians do you see out there? I've been counting calories, eating fairly healthy and clean (I actually enjoy the healthy foods!) and…

Hi there! I'm new!
So, where do I start? I just was diagnosed with hypothyroidism two days ago. I have been experiencing a host of strange symptoms that I thought were anemia. I had been a vegetarian for over half my life, and thought I wasn't getting enough iron. After much research, it seemed like there was more than that going on. The…

My success so far!
I started MFP over a year ago. I had lost 35 lbs the healthy old fashioned way and looked awesome! Then, I stopped logging in and counting calories. Then, I slowly stopped exercising. The weight came back just as slow, but came back. When my best friend was moving back to Delaware, we went on a bad prom dress contest at…

For fun.....
Never tried posting a picture before, lets see if this works!

Not so new
I've been on MFP for quite awhile,. I got to my goal weight, got lazy and gained it back. Now I'm back, trying to lose it again. I'm looking for some friends for some motivational support, I think maybe since last time I didn't friend anyone, I didn't feel as accountable. Anyhoo, if you'd like please send me a friend…

Facebook Game
Anyone hear any news about the Walking Dead social game on facebook? It looks really cool, and it was supposed to start sometime in April, but it hasn't yet. Going through major withdrawals!

Is almond butter better than peanut butter?
Jillian Michaels often talks about using almond butter instead of peanut butter. I checked out the labels and there really isn't any nutritional difference. Is one really better than the other?

"That" time
So, I have been doing pretty good as far as keeping calories in check and exercising. Now it's that time of the month and I'm retaining a ton of water!! I'm not letting it bother me too much, I know it will pass. But does anyone have any tips to shed that extra water? I gained three pounds worth and I look sooooooo puffy!

Back again!
I was doing very well, til I sprained my ankle a while back. I started to gain all my weight back. But NO MORE EXCUSES!! I'm going to get back on track starting today! I wish I would've started at breakfast, but putting down your food honestly, really keeps me focused on why I'm not losing weight. If anyone has words of…

Sugar
MFP has set a goal of 24g of sugar, which I just noticed that I go way over everyday. I've made so many adjustments, but will go way over if I eat any fruit. I don't want to use artificial sweeteners, any suggestions?
