Smurfette,

If you work in Toronto, is it possible to meet with us then this month?

Depending of course when you back from holiday! Have fun!

Hi Christian,

I'm not sure if the thyroid meds are helping or not. I haven't noticed anything so far, but it's may take some time.

The product is called "TG 100", and it's by AOR (Advanced Orthomolecular Research). I looked at the small print on the bottle, and it's distributed by a company called Holistic International in Smith Falls, Ontario.

I bought it at a store called Ottway. It's on Church Street, above Carlton and below Wellesley.

Hi gottamove,

For me, I think my naturopath determined that I had an underactive thyroid by the following:
- my pulse (I'm not sure what about it)
- my temperature each morning. She had me take my temperature and record it each day. I had to do it before I got out of bed and started moving though
- hard time losing weight

So, all that plus my constant bitching that I'm too warm all the time.

I've read quite a few times in books that when tests are run (various blood test, not just thyroid) that the medical community has a set range that they consider normal. These ranges aren't necessarily agreed upon by all doctors. In other words, a 4.4 reading may be normal to one doctor, but below normal for another.

I didn't buy the TG100 at a health food store, I bought at it a supplement place. (See my message to Christian about it).

Chris

Hi dissolved!

It's great to have you on board!

You are doing really well on this plan.


I'm really getting pumped about meeting everyone. Don't worry about transportation. I imagine it would be more convenient for everyone if we stuck close to the subway lines.

Chris

The 20th is great for me. My email is christopher.asselin~sympatico.ca

Are we doing a coffee/tea/drink kind of gathering, or do we want to gettogether for something to eat?


Chris

Hi, looking forward to meeting everyone. My e-mail address is vikkibrowne~yahoo.com

I'll be on vacation at Sauble Beach from aug 3 - 10. My e-mail is araus~dbf.com.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

So great to hear from all of you.. I knew there were low carbers in this city.. so great to see..

Dissolved, I measure my bodyfat% on a Tanita scale.. it is quite inaccurate, but does tend to give me some indication of direction of loss.. Unfortunatly, I have noticed, after a month of low-carbing after my last restart, that I am losing as much lean mass as fat.. so I am going to get back to doing some weight training.. I gain mass like crazy, so I hope this will help me retain some of my hard won mass..

Thanks for the TG100 info, Chris...

August 20th is fine with me.. whereever.. maybe for dinner and a nite out.. looking forward to meeting all of you!

Take care all you good folks,

Christian

Hope everyone has a great long weekend!

I'm off to Sauble for a week. Be checking back in on the 12th.

Alena.

Grea to see you all responding to this forum. I'm back from Aruba on the 18th of august. Doing Coffee near a subway stop would be ideal for me as well. HOw about Bloor and Spadina..there is a nice Second Cup right near that corner. Late afternoon, early evening, when everyone is done work I would assume is best. Let me know. I leave to morrow for Aruba , but the monday when I get back I'll read my mail and see what is going on.

Chris, thanks for the info about the thyroid. One question though. I heard that an underactive thyroid causes you to feel Cold all the time. I seem to always have that problem. even in the summer in air conditioned places I am very sensitive to it. But you said you feel Warmer? am I mistaken?

Hope to see you all on the 20th , please let me know whats going on. email me at belsicilia~hotmail.com

take care all
Piera

Hi Gotta,

I don't know much about underactive thyroids, although I should do some reading on it. I might pick up a book on it (I love reading, especially books on eating and health).

Yes, I usually feel warmer than other people. So much so I that own many fans so that I can get some relief wherever I am.


Chris

Hi all,

I hope everyone is doing OK!


Are we still going to meet up tomorrow?

I know a few people were on holidays, and our chatting seemed to drop off the end of the earth...


Chris

I was wondering the very same thing.

I have made other plans for tomorrow now thinking that we were no longer meeting. However it's later in the evening so if we are meeting earlier I may be able to join for a quick coffee.

I'll keep checking the posts.

Andrea

The meeting crossed my mind too - I assumed people were still on vacation and plans got changed - may moved to September. Keep me posted. I'd love to meet you guys.

Vikki

I guess we left organizing it too long...


Maybe we should get some chit-chat going again and plan for another date?
The summer can be a hard time to organize things as many people are away on holidays and vacations.


How is everyone been doing?


I'm still ~ 232lbs...
