@Gina Samples water is the first indicator, you are half as hydrated as your body needs to be, for your weight you should be at 80 oz per day, 1 electrolyte per day. Are you intermittent fasting? For hasimoto, I recommend having fruit inside 16 hour fast v.s not regular fast. I would cut out cream and sugar, as it causes a lot more damage than the calories...especially with an auto immune disease. See pdf in never look back weight loss under classroom for alternatives. Re hasimoto, carbs do play a more important role then not: Aim for "low carb" days v.s high carb days, on those low carb days, eat 1--2 servings of fruit with every meal (avoid traditional carbs on these days), along with water. lmk ho w it goes. Are you taking a protein shake and collagen shake? if not, start both daily! Super greens daily too, do it right before you'r normally feel a blood sugar drop off, it will help stabilize blood sugar.

@Sham Sarran review the never look back nutrition plan, there is a more in depth pdf, that gives you recommendations of types of foods to eat and recipes, then just follow the one pager we provided to you in your folder/also in email/also in classroom, as to how to approach your eating, then when let me know if you have specific questions

@Gina Samples good :)! Well then, this will def help!

@Rose Otten-Paggioli perfect timing for you with this stuff!

:). We love having you and am very proud of your progress!!!

We absolutely love having you here and we're so glad the community resonates with you! Keep us posted on your RL and POD progress—we're rooting for you every step of the way.

@Lynn Weir on what?

Love this perspective—regulation as the foundation, not motivation as the finish line. You're hitting on something really important: consistency is what cements the shifts we feel. We're excited to see what next steps you're sharing.

@Brigid Nessing YES!!!!!! Look at you, hitting the ground running!!

That's awesome you got your first one done! Lifting one foot might seem simple, but it's actually hitting stabilizer muscles that most workouts skip—you're building real functional strength. Keep crushing it, and you'll be surprised how quickly it gets easier.
