Listening to people who enabled you to use a health issue as an excuse. I have hypothyroidism and for years I heard why try to lose weight it will never happen you have thyroid problems. No confident enough to say NO when someone else insists that you have that sweet treat. Well after all it’s only one and you are…

Thank you all for support suggestions and keeping it real. We will all get there and the struggle is real. Wish others would realize it’s not easy when you have this. I have set a goal for when I hit 140 again I’m going to get me a new Fitbit perhaps a versa 2. That’s only a short 26 lbs a way. But that’s what I want and…

That’s terrific. I happen to have a doctor who realizes not everyone with hypothyroidism has the same symptoms. The only thing I just realized ( going through bloodwork reports) she tests for T-SHIRTS and T4 each time and reverse T3 every other time. Which I will be discussing when I go back again. I have found grains to…

Thank you greatly. I most certainly will check into those supplements. Oh I know the routine of monitoring everything. It’s not always easy but it is a must. Love the scale that converts to grams as well as ounces it’s a life saver. As for the arthritis, it has been diagnosed in the past. When I go into the dr this fall, I…

I was you a few years ago. I agree with others a check up with Dr and take it more slow. I’m trying to re -lose my weight. There are a lot of videos I can’t do. Have you considered one of the walking videos to start with. If it’s in your budget can you swing a treadmill? Walking up and down stairs is a start only if your…

Thank you. You all have gave me great knowledge.

Thank you all for the responses. I don’t classify tea as my water but hubby and I do have a cup in the evenings. I have heard so many controversies on calories or not being in tea and to log or not. Just wanted opinions from a group who are familiar with logging everything that goes into their body. So thank you all🙂

I just didn’t know if it would be classified as more of a “water” as I don’t think plain loose leaf has calories. I would assume some of the infused loose leaf may as sometimes they add sugar, peppermint, orange peels etc.

I have the inspire hr and the resting heart rate matches the doctors readings for whatever that’s worth. I’m too new to Fitbit and linking it to MFP. It is basic and if you swim it will auto detect it as well as walking and elliptical. Stationary bike is tricky. You need to keep you hand on your knee and it registers it as…

Thank you

No worries about high jacking a thread glad you asked.

Thank you and I sure will ask as the questions pop up. 😁

Thank you. This is all informative and I truly appreciate it.

Well isn’t that something. That is pretty neat. Thank you. I will have the hubby help me link it tonight when he gets home. 😁

Wow.. I’m not alone. Lost my weight back in ‘16 felt awesome. Then so much happened and here I am again. I am not going to say much more because you all have already said it for me. I am going forward this time with my fitness pal at the beginning instead of 1/2 way through and with a Fitbit. As well as my husband. We both…

190lb loss in 2012-2013 is incredible. If you did it once you can do it again. Log all food. Throw in some exercise for fitness and mental health and watch those 80 lbs come right back off. The only way you won't reach your goals is if you quit. You have been down this road before. You know what it takes. All you have to…

Cwolfman13 you described my house to a t.

You're back and that is what counts. You took the first step. Now just keep going forward. If you did it once you can do it again. 1 step at a time. Do what you can. No beating yourself up mentally or emotionally. Every day is a chance to start fresh. Use what you learned and take another step foward.

That is impressive

Get blood work done. Check thyroid. Hypothyroidism causes one to be cold all the time. Poor diet and anemia can as well. Some people are just naturally cold.

Congratulations on the 2 lb loss. Keep going forward. You can do this.

Sorry about to read about your mom's cancer. You mentioned you got down to 169 before. Use that when doubt creeps in. Just remember "i did it before and i can do it again". There are no perfect days but stronger ones. Take it 1 day at a time. Log everything you eat. Exercise when you can. Use that time for you time. It…

I reward after miles. This year when I hit 250 miles I get specialty yarn. 500miles I get a new book. Etc. There are so many options. Walk a new trail. New out fit. New shoes. New purse. Game night. New movie. New seat covers for your car. New bike. More weights. Trip. Depends on your interests and what you can afford…

Weigh your food instead of guessing. Don't get hung up on a bad day. When the day starts start right back in. There are more to success than the numbers on the scale. Inches count. Having more energy counts. Being proud of youself counts. Being able to walk without being winded counts. Don't get hung up on the numbers. Do…

Thank you for the reply and the link.

why do I need to open my diary? I am at goal weight( hit it the end of last oct) an eat my recommended calories. I joined MFP last april after already losing 30 pounds. so my diary today has no say in the years past. I was not a member when I could not lose the weight so I could not possibly open my diary and I am not…

If you read this http://www.thyroid.org/thyroid-and-weight/ it does say that excess salt and water is a cause for weight gain with people with Hypothyroidism. No it isn't the same for everyone, but I did mention that in my post. But it did affect me. So , I have to agree with my dr on that. No two people with…

Sound advice already. I will add extra salt does not help your cause. Foods have enough natural salts that you don't need to add it. Everyone is different and so is their dr. We also have to work harder to lose the weight. But it Can be done. Its not always a CICO thing. Patience is key here.

I walk with my husband and with my soon to be 11 yr old husky. Not always at the same time though. My husky keeps good pace and can keep up with me until the last 1/2 mile.
