Plan, plan and plan. It is possible to eat packaged and fast food with lower claories. I had to do it when I was in school and living 7 deep in house. I used my little bit of fridge space for snack veggies. My meals in involved a lot of light soup canned soup that I could take with me. I also looked up and planned a low…

I am not much of a gamer but love to read especially fantasy. Have worn the pages off of my Harry Potter and my Tortall novels. Feel free to give me an add.

For me it is 25lbs per size.

Keep up the good work.

You did it before you can do it again. Remember what got you going the last time you were here.

I recently dropped the bag and am chasing my marbles to get them back together, so to say. Glad for another friend. It isn't about how often you stubble but that you keep getting up.

Check the drug facts that come with your medicine. A lot of then can be limthier in their absorption by certain foods. Mine is soy, canola oil, safflower oil, and walnuts. Avoiding these foods can help your medicine work more effectively. The most important thing when losing weight with a thyroid condition is patience. It…

Trying to balance health concerns and weight loss can be a battle. I am working with My mom who is handicap to try to increase her mobility and see her struggle. I have my own less severe health battles I am fighting. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Feel free to add me.

Lean ground beef is pricy but my fella hates turkey. So I will either mix them half and half, actually kneeding them together. Or save turkey for things that require sauce or high seasoning like tacos. In a pinch cook it in with a little water and a low sodium beef bullion.

Hello from the edge of Washtenaw County.

Yup, yup, yup. Lived here all my life. Congrats on your work so far, keep it up!

It might be actual concern not jealously or "haters". As a teen I got so annoyed at people making similar comments. I wasn't too skinny in my opinion. I was still fat in my head. Years later looking back at pictures I came realize I had taken it too far. I looked sick. It isn't that uncommon for people''s view of…

I am a Michigan girl working midnight as support staff at a hospital. Going on five years I think as a nightshifter. Feel free to add me.

Kashi also makes a good microwave toxic box that is under 300 calories. Amy''s light and lean also do in a pinch. Not as salty as most Lean Cusine and taste better.

Having three teeth pulled without without being numbed. Close second dual kidney stones.

I am left handed. I once tried to juggle two peices of fruit and my keys while playing jingle bells on a whistle stuck in my nose. I also knew my sister was having twins before she did.

I feel you. I was in a preserve in Michigan and had a garter snake slitter across my shoe. The logical part of my mind knew it wouldn't hurt me. That is not however the part of my mind that controls screaming like a *kitten* and running like a serial killer was after me.

"It keeps you running" like the Doobie Brothers song. When I first started working out I just threw their greatest hits album on. Right when I wanted to give up "It keeps you running" would come on and I would keep going. So that song became the corner stone of my playlist.

To keep from stabing people.

I was a hard core pop drinker most of my life. I carried cases of cans in my car. Every picture of me for years has a Pepsi or Sunkist can in it. It took about 3 months before I stopped wanting to snatch the fountain drink from the person the next table over in resturants. It has been a couple years since I stopped…

There are foods that can interfere with your medicine and it's absorption. Check your drug facts. Common ones for thyroid meds are soy products and canola oil. I lose faster when I avoid the items listed in my drug facts. Other than that exercise is really hard when you feel like wet cement all the time but it really helps…

I have s.i. dysfunction and am in physical therapy for it, I also have an amazing chiropractor. The only fix in the long run is strengthing those muscles. But for the short term powerstep orthotic's for in my shoes helped, though the first week was rough. The other thing oddly is bicycling. A short ride when I am hurting…

Turmeric and ginger supplements or the dried herb brewed with tea. Turmeric helps take the edgey felling away and ginger will calm that clenched churning stomach feeling.

I am in a similar boat. I lost 30lbs a few years back, then by not watching it found 15 of it. I am now working on that 15 and the 15 after it. And the 15 after ....well you get the drift. I am here for the slow and steady as well, I will add you.

Right about now a grilled cheese sandwich and a nap. Hell, who am I kidding. That is always the recipe for happiness.

It is possible to lose while suffering from a thyroid disorder. I have lost 30 pounds so far. Ithink has been very slow, and not linear. I have lost and gained a few times. It is really about sticking with it even when the results are a tiny trickle. Diet is about measuring and being reasonable, well that and watching soy…

Moat of the things I follow are nature, tattoos, and rock music. If you enjoy those simonjpierce, stianmklo, for nature. Milky_tatoodles, tattooer_nadi, for tatoos. Stoner_rock_guy, redfangband for music.

When working out I tell myself well just finish these five minutes so it Is a round number, then when I get there it is oh just finish these x reps or the quarter mile, and when that is done I convince myself to finish rounding the time. It shouldnt work. I know I am tricking me. But damned if it doesn't work.

Thanks everyone, and to my UK friends yes I mean the outer layer or trousers. I found a pair of high waisted drawstring men's pants target that made it through week 4 day 1. I am still waiting on the old Navy get up I ordered to see how theirs work. The wally world by my town is small and doesn't have athletic wear so…

Thanks for the input, hopefully I find something soon.
