Thank you all very much for the good advice. I will try to stick to the tips and see what happens. I actually had to stick to a 1200 calorie limit which made me go crazy because i had to watch out for every single thing. Goodluck

I also have it. I am trying to stick to my calorie goal and honestly i don't exercise much because it makes me feel tired easily since i stopped my medication. I will soon start doing 30 day shred and other relaxing exercises and will start taking natural thyroid instead of the synthetic one. I heard its just as effective…

True Story!

losing 30 pounds is my goal! you just inspired me even more i wish my face was thinner.

I actually cut junk food once for one whole year, I didn't have many friends at the time so i wouldn't be in a social scenario where everyone is eating. Second, my family barely ever ate outside don't get me wrong the foods at home weren't the healthiest but they were not from restaurants either. Third, I used to go get…

eating 2000 calories is not hard!! Have healthy carbs in each meal, dairy, natural juice (easiest calories), and healthy fats. That's a good 2000. For example: and it's just an example: Breakfast: glass of orange juice approx 180 cals A peanut butter sandwich (2 toasts) approx 300 cals A banana=110 A snack: a bag of whole…

These are very similar to my goals!! im also 5'5 and i have tried 30 day shred. if you need to share anything im here.

Thank you both so much, i will actually buy a steamer and do most of the tips mentioned. Now i have an idea of what i can eat or swap. :smile:

Lol im not even eating the things i like! sadly, i love salads so much but i cant afford to pay 10$ each time i want a salad..

Hahaha! that's hilarious everyone.

Hahaha so true, i only see food ads on mfp i never google food or food recipes so i found that odd. I love shopping :')

lol!!!!

I agree. I will get a non digital one to save me the headache thanks a lot

That's true! but they are not as accurate i guess that is a good thing? Im not sure if the more accurate the better i would feel or if i would feel worse lol.

Funny thing is! i had PCOS as well!! and with the hypothyroid issue you can see how much pain it caused me.. i would workout 2 hours a day vigorously, watch every single bite i take and still way the same and sometimes even gain!! my sister would weigh around 50 kgs and still eat all the junk while i eat healthy. it got me…

You are right. I need to have the courage to see those numbers and just let the anxiety go away. I also need to accept reality and just face it. Thank you so much for giving me more confidence. You;re very kind.

Exactly :( !!!!! I mean i used to obsess about every single thing i'd eat for years and not see any progress and even if i do it just wouldnt make sense!!! But now i understand how thyroid affects all that if only i knew!!!! I will try to change my mentality about it and not let it get to me as you said. Thank you!

[/quoa Good idea!

No, that's why i am asking for a good scale that's been tried as some fluctuate a lot. :) I am just gona try all the options and see what works best for me.

Lovely tip! no i would really be on a strict diet, by my thyroid doesn't allow me to lose weight so now when i get back on my medication i hope i see changes.

Yes please!

I totally agree, i am trying to take it one day at a time. so that i don't feel overwhelmed and just binge. I try to tell my self relax tomorrow is a new day and changes will happen. I hope :)

Thank you all, lovely answers. Well my weight is around 150 lbs height around 5'5 but i don't workout a lot or follow a program i used to but the obsession lead to nowhere due to my hypo issue so now i genuinely can't go back to it. I am random about my exercise i would do jumping jacks, gym, brisk walk or just watch my…

20 pounds that fast!! I doubt i can be that strict. Really good for you! :)

Yes it's the slimmer you are the more effort you would have to do to lose weight. goodluck :)

Well my TSH is around 5.3 so it explains the fatigue symptoms as well as loss of concentration and energy. I am thinking of taking " Natural sources raw thyroid capsules" this is its description: This natural product is made without sugar, starch, preservatives, artificial colors or flavorings and contains no corn, wheat,…

My bmi is in the slightly overweight range so i need to get it down to a good one.Well 3-4 months makes sense. thank you all :)

That is so true! sometimes if i don't see a weekly goal i could easily stop feeling as motivated. thanks a lot. now i need to find a scale as i hated using one.

Thank you for your response, well my ultimate goal and what i would see as perfect is 33 lbs but 20 lbs is really great! So i should aim for 1 pound a week?

I suffer from hypothyroidism and i recently discovered it after trying too hard. Symptoms include: Sleeping a LOT. lazy. depressed. unproductive regardless the immense effort. i hope its gone and without mfp i'm just not careful enough about my foods... i want to lose 30 pounds if possible. that would be a dream and i need…
