    My calorie intake is 1200 a day, I'm 46 years old and I want to lose weight but also change my lifestile and increase my muscle strenght. My big problem is that I have no resistance to pain and stop right away when I start to feel tired .... Add me on if you want. Good luck !!

    You can add me too. I am 5'7, maybe 5'8...can't remember which one I chose for this since age and Rx steroid use has cost me some height. I too have gained a lot of weight with steroids and gave up the idea of being thin and healthy for a long, long, time. I want to lose about 90 lbs. and this time I will! Let's help eachother.

    Hi- I will be your friend!
    I had thyroid cancer in 2006 and my thyroid was removed. In 2007, I got pregnant with our 3rd child-suprise!-and gained 75 + lbs. The day before he was born, I was at 225. I was so uncomfortable, I could hardly move. The birth was complicated and ended in emergency c-section and I lost 2 liters of blood, but was not given a transfusion. As a result of this, I was not "myself" for almost 6 months. No weight seemed to come off. I was totally miserable. When my son was almost 1, I decided that I was going to get rid of the weight. I started walking with my jogging stroller. I walked 7 or 8 miles a day. The weight started coming off. Once that happened, I got motivated and went back to my gym. I tend to fluctuate in different seasons.....Christmas is especially bad for me because I love to eat and bake, etc. I am not trying to lose a lot right now, but I understand where you are. It took 3 years for my thyroid meds to regulate, and I have been cancer-free for almost 6 years now. I no longer blame my weight on my thyroid stuff-in fact, I forget about it totally until it is time to go for a check up. All I can tell you is just hang on! The weight will come off. The food diary on MFP has been a huge help for me. I found that I was eating a LOT more than I thought. The support here is great-lots of great people! Welcome!
