Hi just wanted to say how happy I am!! I'm down 39.5 pounds since September! SW was 230 CW 190.5 still have 50 lbs to go but I feel soooo good! Was diagnosed in September with hashimoto's thyroid and put on thyroid meds and also pre diabetic so was put in metaformin! Liver enzymes were through the roof, cholesterol and blood pressure were high and as of this weeks blood draw all levels are normal! Blood pressure was great 110/70. I truly don't think I could be doing this without MFP it motivates me, with all the support I get from everyone! Can't wait to get to goal!! Will post pictures when I get there!!

    Heck Yeah. That's awesome. Being accountable with your CICO using MFP has been a huge game changer for me too. I'm down about 11 pounds in a month! I've been using a fitbit. It really motivates me to walk more and it great for my dog also.

    Oof! It's amazing with proper medication and tracking with do. I've been tracking with minimal results, but my doc put me on metformin and spirolactone for PCOS and I'm starting to lose weight more quickly. So glad you're here and things are working. :) Rock on!

    Great job! I am also on metformin but it's for helping with PCOS. My starting weight and goal weight it also very similar to yours! I fell off the healthy wagon for a little while and am trying to get motivated again. Your progress is inspiring!
