I'm kinda new. Only been doing this for about 2 weeks now. I've got hypothyroidism and gained way too much weight so now that my blood levels are almost there I've decided to do this. :)

    This is How I eat. See if it helps? I just change up the Meats, Veggies (I only eat corn once in a great while), Pasta ( I only have 1 oz at a meal) Different low cal snacks. If you exercise even just do a little walking, you can add more calories and have a little more. It's really not hard when you put a little work into it.

    Just simply recording what I eat makes me see what I'm consuming and how it isn't as hard as I thought to eat better!
