samantha g traineo Newbie Posts: 8 samantha g i'm a seventeen year old girl who has struggled with weight in the past. i have to control what i eat closely to maintain weight due to a medical condition. i aim to be healthy and fit and 54kgs by the end of the year - which will work better once i finish high school!	# Posted: 23 Aug 2007 13:42 brand spanking newbie here! i'm samantha, but everyone calls me sage. i'm 17, and i'm using this to help monitor eating and exercise habits. i have a friendly little condition called hashimoto's, which is destroying my thyroid gland and therefore screwing up everything else, ie temp control, energy levels, metabolism. so to stay a healthy weight, i need to be really careful, because my metabolism is extremely low until i get thyroxine treatment! so don't be afraid, i don't bite.. much, or hard... =)

Amy S Fitness Guru Posts: 220 Amy S A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now. Revised fitness plan: -some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat -some weight training, some pilates -I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times! I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary. The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force. To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done. Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.	# Posted: 23 Aug 2007 17:19 I have hypothyroidism also, hashimoto's sounds familiar. Problem solved with just a simple prescription pill of synthroid/thyroxine-well the generic because it's very cheap. Stay on top of those blood tests to keep your dose at the perfect level. I have no problems, I was just glad to get the diagnosis figured out. Welcome and good luck with all.
