Thank you both ^^^^! I definitely needed to hear from those of you that do allow cheat days/meals! I don't have a specific plan to allow cheat days, but I know it's going to happen from time to time for me!

Thanks for all the advice! A little background on the situation: I wasn't feeling well for a few days, so I ate right at my allotted calories (one day was a little less, one day was right at my allotted calories, but everything I ate was mostly comfort food). I was feeling better yesterday, so I ate more than my allotted…

I'm also hypo! I was diagnosed in November and my thyroid hormones have stabilized as of April. I decided to give myself a break while all that was going on, but now I'm trying to lose the 30ish pounds I put on before being diagnosed. I tracked for a while before my diagnosis and didn't lose a thing! Now, I'm only one week…

Thank you, ElizabethOakes2! One issue for me -- I don't like most seafood (no fish or tuna)! But, I love the suggestion for the chicken breasts! Any favorite seasonings you recommend? How exactly do you bake them (oven temp, how long, do you add water to the baking dish, etc.)?

Congrats on your weight loss! That is fantastic and it is always nice hearing from someone who is also hypo! Losing weight is hard for everyone, but that additional factor can make it even harder!

The WW meal only had 240 calories. I ate the deli chicken meat on the side since the WW meal didn't have protein. That was only about 300 calories total, which doesn't seem too bad for a lunch. I should note that I don't usually eat a WW meal. In fact, other than today, I don't remember the last time I ate one! But, since…

OH - and I'm not the best cook, so any recipes, links, etc. are welcome! I'm open to being a good cook, I'm just not currently one. LOL! :smiley:

Yes, hollinmi, you are so right! I wanted to get a chicken kabob from the local Greek place, but then realized it had 800 calories! Goodness! I assumed it was healthy, so it would be ok. I'm glad I checked out the calorie count! I do drink a ton of water (I'm at 50 oz already for the day, and that's pretty typical for me).…

Height: 5'3", weight: 175, age: 38, goal weight: not quite sure, but probably 150ish (maybe less, but I'm just trying to be realistic at first). I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism (and attribute that to my weight gain since I gained about 40 pounds in less than 2 years), but my levels are steady now so that…

Thanks, helenrosec0! I took a look at your diary...I'm just starting out, so any and all tips are very, very welcome since as I said, I'm finding this very hard so far!
