staying positive

Options
starting my 4th day of reduced calories, healthier food, better sleep & a huge increase in exercise - and up goes the scale :sad: Last year I gained 11 lbs and my measurements increased while working out & eating right. This year has been a rough start but I am staying positive that this is the year that I lose the "babyfat" (8 years later!) & participate in a 5k! I really pray that my weight & measurements will decrease with all the sacrifices I am making! God is so good! :flowerforyou:

    You'll do great!! Just keep at it. If you feel like you are not losing weight but you are working really hard have your thyroid checked. Mine was damaged during both my pregnancies. I would get on a reduced calorie diet, exercise and sleep but see no results and find myself completely exhausted. I always figured it was the kids making me tired but it ended up being my thyroid. Simple blood work, and a pill everyday for hormone replacement and I finally started seeing results. Now whenever I find myself working really hard and not seeing results I have it rechecked. It is usually off and I need to adjust my hormone replacement. But God is so good and always see us through it.
