PCOS hypothyroidism & Yaz
I have been out for a while from the forum dealing with health issues. I had a gagging sensation in my throat and I have been dealing with pretty significant hairloss for a while. I went to an endo and she found my hormone levels which should be 1:1 are 3:1 almost 4:1. I also had two large nodules on my thyroid. So I am on…

I don't believe it!
Hi. I have been frustrated with the scales for months not just weeks - losing and gaining the same pounds! Last week I had enough - gave up using MFP calorie counting etc, ate good food I enjoyed (with a few not so good things) but all in moderation - lost 1 pound! I know it's not much but it hasn't happened for so long…

I know I'm supposed to eat breakfast, but....
I love breakfast and always make healthy choices, but if I start that feeding frenzy too early I can't seem to stop. I am doing so much better by putting off eating until 11, followed by a later lunch at 1 or 2. Somehow that empty stomach puts me in the right frame of mind so that I tolerate hunger better and am less…

3 Weeks! Can you see the progress?
From most recent to three weeks ago. This is only about a 3 lb difference. I have been adding in some strength training, logging religiously, and have had only a few cheat days. Is it just me or can you spot some differences?

How to Stop Emotional Eating
Emotional eating means turning to food for comfort, not because you’re hungry. That bag of potato chips and those chocolate chip cookies may appeal when you feel bad. But the relief doesn't last, and it can make you overeat and gain weight. You can learn other ways to manage those feelings, so that you have don't reach for…

Just saying hello from Kansas. Just now found this amazing Group to join.
Hi, just found this group. My name is Shirley. I live in Junction City Kansas. I'm excited to keep in contact with others that have a weight problem, but not obesity. I've had Gastro bypass in 2006. I was at 272 pounds. Now I weigh 174. I have a goal to reach the weight of 145. I'm 5 ft. 53/4 inches. I have small thighs…

Breakfast
When I eat a cooked breakfast, I almost always go over for the day. Some days I like to lightly saute fresh vegetables and scramble in an egg, topped with nuts and Parm. It isn't very caloric, say 225 calories. That's a "big" breakfast for me and helps me get enough protein in, at which I am never successful. On days I…

Woo hoo, experienced the "whoosh"!
I had been getting a little frustrated, as I had been weighing, logging and exercising diligently but bouncing around between 140 and 143 for two weeks (I'm 5'5"). Today the scale said 138.5! Happy dance. Now I hope it's not just water weight and the scale says something similar tomorrow (I'll take anything below 140!).…

It's working, it's just so freaking slow.
so, I started doing a daily weigh-in and tracking it with a trend app (happy scale) and thankfully there's a downward trend and its correlating to 0.5lb/week (the math worked!), but goddamn it feels slow. At this rate, I will achieve my goal sometime in the fall. I'm going to remember this the next time my weight starts…

Hi Girls!
I'm happy to have found this group. I'm 5'6 and currently a little under 134. I'd like to lose another 5-10 pounds or so. I'm not heavy, but I still have a good amount of body fat. I guess you're all in a similar boat! Right now, I've been doing a lot of walking and running (and counting calories). My legs are getting…

Anyone interested in joining a group for motivation to reach our peak goals before going back in the fall- comment here! Even if you're not in college and you'd like a fall deadline-…

fabulous forties and skinny fat
So goal weight (123lbs) reached for my height of 5'4 and tape measured body fat percentage went from 25 % to 18 %. I now have a slightly annoying flabby layer which does not warrant a tummy tuck but which I would love to lose. Anyone else in the same situation? Strategies to help?

Discouraged
Hi guys, So I am about 20 years old and really frustrated with my weight. My entire life I had been involved with sports and never needed to worry about my weight. As I finished out high school, I became more focused on academics than sports. As I went into college the famous "freshman fifteen" kicked in but I mentally…

I'm a "not-so-heavy" gal too...just older
Hi all- I'm new here and I'm in the "really would love to lose 10-15 lbs." group. I'm a petite 5'1'' and weigh anywhere between 130-135 on any given day. I'm 4 weeks shy of turning 48 and perimenopausal. My struggle is that up until about 4 years ago, I was a fit 120. Then a divorce, 2 moves, a layoff, 2 more job changes,…

Heavy people think it is easy for us
Over the years I have come to find out that me as a thinner person can not add to discussion on how to lose weight. Women always ask me what do to stay thin. Then they discount me and say I don't understand. I work hard to keep my weight down and I understand how to do it. They all think it is natural to my body chemistry.…

30 day Shred, anyone?
Today is June 17, and I have 31 days before I will be at an outdoor wedding, in a sleeveless dress. I want to tone up, and was thinking I have the Jillian Michaels 30-day Shred, maybe I could find some encouragement here. I'm 53, and my fat and I have become very good friends and it does not want to leave me. So, I'll just…

VICTORY
This past week, I've noticed that my bras aren't fitting right. I assumed I was stretching them out from infrequent washing, and tried them on after they'd been given some time to breathe. Nope...the cups were definitely loose. Now I know I'm not losing weight. I've kept a range of 125lbs-130lbs for about a month now with…

Just joined - some strength training?
Hello, I recently joined to see how people get over humps and get their body toned instead of just cardio x1000. I'm wondering what're out there for some awesome strength training? I'm really not a person to go to the gym and do weight lifting... But perhaps some in-home strength exercises, with dumbbells or anything else?…

First Post! Just lost my first 10 pounds and feeling super motivated!
I started taking an interest in my health about two months ago and honestly didn't think I was going to see any progress. Most of the weight loss has just come from diet change alone. My Fitness Pal has really helped me be accountable for what I eat and how many calories I'm consuming. I just wanted to share my happiness…
