    I'm adding tomorrow morning my weight.

    I've weighed myself just before I have my period, and I had reached 165 pounds! 24 hours later I'm 161! Maybe untill tomorrow I'll be in logical numbers to log! hahahahahahahha
  • Thank you! Onederland feels amazing. I haven't been under 200 since I started college! My levels have been steady and I have been getting B12 shots and using the B12 nasal spray (I don't absorb B12 normally) and trying to eat 1/2 a grapefruit (though they are EXPENSIVE) before breakfast and dinner. I have also been allowing myself to have chocolate and such daily, which is HUGE. I never feel the need to "break down" and eat a gallon of ice cream or an entire cake or something like I have in the past. And of course all of the awesome support from all of you!

    I deleted about 10 members that hadn't log any information the last 3 weeks. Also, some of them haven't log in MFP for a long time.
    I see that also that the members : jg2876, lacaro1, mindyhenry74, MrsAFR, princessbgirl, Shaina (slm0414) logged only week1 and then stopped. By the end of October they will be deleted too.
    Hope they don't be offended! It is just no purpose to keep them in the sheet if they don't log in.

    Also congrats to this week winner (as it seems until now): Mlanggin88:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Keep up the good work all of you!!!!

    WE can catch her!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Hi, I just saw this challenge this morning and jumped right in! I'm turning 50 on Christmas eve, so I've already been having the goal of giving myself a healthy BMI for my bday. Not sure if I can make that goal, which would be 16 more lbs. by then, but I'm still going for it! What better gift is there??? I'd rather be healthy weight even than get a brand new Jeep Wrangler (my other secret bday wish, lol)

    Nice to be on board with other thyroid peeps----I relate to the strugggles! We've just got to do a bit more problem solving, but we can do this!! Blessings, all!

    What a crappy week for me :( I cheated so hard on Saturday night that I'm 3-4 pounds up from yesterday morning's weigh-in.

    I don't know how I missed this thread... but is this seriously a "GOAL TO LOSE THIS MUCH WEIGHT BY THIS ARBITRARY DATE"... in a THYROID forum? Really?
  • x4mygirlsx
    x4mygirlsx Posts: 129 Member
    aww tokataro dont beat yourself up about it. youve been doing amazingly well and from the spreadsheet u have lost 10lbs this month.
    Most of that gain today is probably water weight.

    Im still on track for the goal even with 2 really slow weeks. So quite pleased.
    Goodluck everyone else for your weigh in today x

    (and to firstsip - whats wrong with having our own challenges in this forum for people who want the motivation but dont want to compete against people who dont have thyroid problems. its been great motivation for me and others too)

    I love the fact that we have this challenge in our group, cuz it levels the Playing field! :wink: :tongue:

    I guess you can imagine how discouraging it is sometimes seen the regular forums, and seen some People with amazing results with just a few tweaks on their life styles (eating a little less, exercising just a little more) and We, that embark in some draconian diets or crazy exercise program and the results are.... well, we are here! aren't we! :ohwell: :happy:

    Here is were I can talk and be listened!!!

    I had almost reached my goal. On April. I was 3 pounds before there.... 3 months before my wedding. I was so excited!
    I continued working out, watch out whatever I ate... and suddenly I began gaining. No reason! No eating more, not exercising more. I gained 7 pounds in 3 months.
    Then I got dissapointed. I fell of the wagon. It was summer and want to have fun with my hubby. We were almost all day out of the house eating crap. I kept gaining.
    I'm back. I need to attend challenges with people like me. Who can't loose but gain easily.
    I 'm not on a specific diet. I like to cook and eat. I also like junk food. I just try to be under my maintaining calorie target. I count everything and my diary is not the best one you will find in MFP.
    I have realized that this is my forever battle against obesity.

    Thanks for reading my today thoughts! (after binging episode! :ohwell: )

    Hi All! I was just scrolling through the groups and noticed this X-mas challenge.

    So, I know I have already missed a month, but is it ever too late to try???? I added myself to the sheet, and it looks like I can still get in on what remains of the 4th week.

    I also struggle with hypothyroidism, but I refuse to let it get the best of me.

    I am a bit competetive though, and it looks like I have my work cut out for me to get caught up, but I am looking forward to the challenge!

    The spreadsheet is Awesome!!

    I hope you guys don't mind, but I joined your group today.:flowerforyou: I added my information from the October challenge that I was doing when I rejoined MFP to the spreadsheet. I also have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. I had joined another group for a November challenge, but they have not set a weigh in day or anything. So I decided to join your group instead.:smile: I hope that is ok with everyone. I really need the motivation for over the holidays and I am always happy to make new friends. Please add me if you do too! :bigsmile: I need all of the support and motivation I can get.:embarassed: Let's all lose weight for Christmas!!!! :laugh:

    Good-greek-morning notabrat1! I saw you online on the spreaddsheet a few minutes ago! You are welcome, even if you took my first and only win from the Week 1! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Not a good week for me, this one. As always I seem to be in a for-ever plateau. :ohwell:
    I know, I'm not so "dedicated" as most of the members here, but for those who are my MFP friends they know that my average consumed calories are below the maintaining.

    Any way, I hope you all got better results than I did!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone,

    Sorry it took me a while to get back on here. Trying to fight Bronchitis since two weeks ago and I am finally getting back into the swing of things. I updated my weights on the sheets. Unfort I was up this week, but determined to get back down by next tuesday.

    Everyone is doing great. Keep it up guys :)

    Well, still above 200 however, hoping that this week will work for me. Was a little discouraged last week and didn't do as well as I hoped for the previous week. Got encouragement from my hubby and family so will keep going. See what next week brings.

    Have a great rest of the week. Don't forget to vote today They all count no matter who you vote for. :bigsmile:
    Eat healthy. Stay positive.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Sorry ladies, I didn't mean to be unfair. The victory is still yours:flowerforyou: . I will remove those weights from the sheet if you would like and start from today's weigh in. I was in another October Challenge group and we weighed on Wednesdays, so I figured I would weigh on Tuesday this week and then weigh Monday of next week to get on track with you guys:smile: . I really didn't mean to cause any upset though. :embarassed:
