Hi to all!
I never battled with my weight until after my 2 children were born. I have been on many "diets/lifestyle changes" since then (kids are 22 and 18 yrs old). The weight came off for a while but crept back over time, over and over and over again. Just last spring I lost 20 lbs. with 1300 cal/day and walking. Dr. changed my thyroid meds in June and now I'm where I was Jan '12. plus a couple more lbs. Dr. says my meds are correct, but the weight won't come off! I confess, I did go off my 1300/day and walking for a while, but have been back on it since Jan '13 and have not lost anything. Getting discouraged!
I want to lose that same 20 lbs that I've battled with for years by the time my daughter graduates in June. Any inspiration out there?
