    And really I do weigh everything on a digital scale. I was looking back at my Fitbit steps and Im not averaging 10k steps as often as I thought. I forget to charge my Fitbit tho. I do have a garmin vivo active on its way I'm excited about.

    From yesterday
    Bluebunny French Vanilla Ice Cream - Ice Cream, 1.5 cup
    Kefir - Strawberry, 1 cup
    Generic - Roasted Cauliflower & Broccoli, 1 cup
    Potato - Potato - Mashed - (1/4cup), 1/2 cup
    all these items were measured not weighed

    This video shows why you maybe eating more than you think and measuring is more inaccurate than you think

    Get rid of the cups and TBS, and use a food scale for all foods. Only use cups for fluids.

    I feel you girl, I have hypothyroidism too (hashimotos) and I keep loosing and gaining the same 5 lbs. over and over again. You might be in a certain stage of adrenal fatigue and until you go through the steps to heal it, you will be experiencing the same thing over and over again or worse, gain. There are so many books out there for this issue, please read and address it 1st before anything else. During the adrenal fatigue healing process you will gain a bit but then u will loose it and more. Good luck!

    If you went from fairly sedentary to 10K steps that is good movement. Are you eating your full calorie allotment? The Thyroid is very important in weight loss of course and if you don't eat enough calories and have thrown in exercise your thyroid can shut down weight loss by slowing your metabolism. With your Hypothyroidism, I'd recommend talking to your doctor and a nutritionist to see exactly how many calories you should be eating.
