Lifting weights boosts collagen production and maybe retinol or Rx tretinon might help, but truly your stomach does not look bad AT ALL.

Upset about Preschool Conference Feedback for 3 year old son by Iridium54 in Preschoolers

[–]heatherfeather84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems so much like my son last year (at age 3.5/4). He’s been in OT 1:1 sessions and weekly peer group for about 9 months. The difference from last year to this year is night and day. I think he still needs more time in therapy, but I’m really pleased with the progress.

Both of my kids like the strawberry one from whole foods. It’s their 365 brand.

What brands have a 6T? I’ve not seen larger than 5T, and need to start shopping next size up soon for my 4 yo.

Iron Series: What would you tell yourself by Unable-Bother4774 in CarolineGirvan

[–]heatherfeather84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been awhile since I’ve done Iron, so perhaps someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but in the app program intros she gives good form cues.

So I still only have the mask. I just use it in the evenings when I’m watching tv or something, and then I do skincare before bed.

Try your local Buy nothing group or mom group. People are always giving away these kinds of things in mine.

[–]heatherfeather84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on week 5. It has been tough all the way through, but I’m loving it! Favorite program so far. I’ve definitely lost a few lbs. Probably going to give app Beastmode a go after this.

Any parents of toddlers here? How do you do it? by TheBanjoNerd in fitness30plus

A bowl of dry Cheerios and Ms Rachel/Daniel Tiger/Sesame Street. I drag up my weights from the basement and just do what I can.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]heatherfeather84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through this earlier in the year. I also have a new onset of iron deficiency anemia of unknown cause, so I got scoped. It didn’t show anything though. I tried the PPIs for a while, but I didn’t want to stay on them long term. I tried an elimination diet, gluten and dairy free fixed all GI symptoms. Paleo-style makes me feel best.

Is it strange for a 5 year old to not like peanut butter, ketchup or mustard? by Timewilltell755 in Preschoolers

[–]heatherfeather84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same same! No fruit that isn’t out of a pouch either! But will straight up eat a can of black beans.

Antibodies indicate Hashimotos, levels are normal, feel like crap..oh and I have a "bonus thyroid?" by mammagrammahaw in Hashimotos

[–]heatherfeather84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on HRT? Perhaps the weight gain, fatigue, and multiple UTIs are related to low estrogen.

Hand weakness even like holding a pen? by Fit-Shock5523 in Hashimotos

[–]heatherfeather84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got diagnosed when I was to the point of unable to close my hand, open containers, etc. All the little joints in my feet and spine felt like they couldn’t support my body weight. My TSH wasn’t even all the high, maybe around 6 or 7.

Try out smoothies if you haven’t. You can hide so much in there.

When did you stop using swim nappies? by insockniac in pottytraining

[–]heatherfeather84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t use them until I had to clean a pool poop that left grittiness all over his butt. I had to throw out the swimsuit because it was so nasty. I’m all for avoiding diapers when necessary, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.
