Hi Brittany I have thyroid problems also I take .75mcg of Levothyroxine every day and have for the past 30years. I know a slow thyroid is also a hindrance when trying to lose weight. But there is a fence you can get over! the fence is simply staying with whatever you set out to do. I am still losing even though my thyroid is slow. After our move I was exhausted but I saw that I really lost some weight!! enough to get me fired up! but after the fire burns out is when we quit! so instead of "dieting" I begin changing the way I think. Attitude about anything will determine success and failure! I know because in the past my attitude towards losing weight changed and I gave up! the effects was depressing! so I decided to change something.. the fire in my body which fuels my metabolism to work like a furnace even when I'm not working out. I am still on baby steps and really only about 3 weeks that I have been staying with it but I schedule it everyday. If I am out handing out food since I cant work on my elliptical I carry a diagram card with me (its on my Pinterest-healthier choices) and grab some canned food and start doing some of the workout. my workout video I carry on a app on my phone and my tablet so there is never an excuse unless I'm in a place with no wifi. when I am I just do repetition's of exercises I already know. 5 min warm up 20 min workout 5 min cool down.
just moving helps and by all means count it and give yourself a high five

My daughter n law has really educated me on a lot and encourages me to keep moving!! we can help each other keep encouraged and stay focused!

H everyone!!glad to see this group is growing with support for each other! Its a harder walk doing it alone but much easier when you have someone to share triumphs with and to motivate you when you don't feel you can do one more exercise or that favorite junk food is haunting you in your sleep! my current weight is 207 im only 5'2" i have already lost 15 lbs very slowly and slowly is okay with me these days, because the FAD diets I call them the FATTER AFTER DIETING !! they just arent a real life change! your attitude determines who you are and who you want to be! its no different here. so back to the weight! as I have said before set the scale somewhere where you wont be tempted to get on it everyday. your motivation isnt determined and should not be determined by what the scale says. its a mechanical object assigned for one purpose to weigh! we are a living being and we need to learn to listen to what our body is telling us. I have lost a total of 15 lbs since the end of november until now. thats discouraging if i look at the weight of it lol however i have lost over 12 inches in that time meaning the best part my body is changing and taking shape for health and mobility for strength and my energy level has increased. I enjoy doing things that normally i felt too lazy to do. I look at those blessings that determines my motivation to keep at it. i work out everyday some days twice a day. why? not because im becoming a workout junky lol but because my body tells me what it needs. i know that sounds crazy to some but we listen to our emotions and reach for comfort foods that our body doesnt want. we listen to our heart which desires whatever we think we should have that isnt always good for us either. when your knee hurts it tells you it hurts. most take pain medications for it i work the pain out gently and then soak in epson salt. a pain pill tells the nervous system to tell the pain to stop but really it only puts duct tape over the voice of your body trying to tell you what it needs. I know you guys dont know me and we all come from different walks of life and different circumstances. myself i have had cancer 3 times been in a coma twice once for 14 months and once for 9 months. crippled and in a wheelchair told i would never walk again. I have been thrown out f a truck and over and overpass leaving me with a broken collar bone and many other fractured bones including 3 ribs. I was hit by an SUV (drunk driver) while i was walking. I have arthritis in my hands and knees and under active thyroid. and recently i broke a rib unloading food for a food handout. I still get up everyday and work out no matter what. I have a app on every computer tablet and cell phone so i never have an excuse not to do what is right for my health. There is a saying in the world that say "what doesnt kill you will only make you stronger" . this is very true!! starting tuning out anything negative and start tuning into your body. Its the only one we get ladies lets tune it up and give yourself a high five for just getting started!! Hope everyone has a great day! Be blessed and feel free to friend me on here or message me. jtip250
