  • Hello, I have hypothyroidism also. Mild hair loss, thank goodness I had a ton of hair beforehand but since I had a bad reaction to my thyroid medication recently, possibly and allergy, I'm on the search for a new medication; but while doing so, my weight has been going up. I was at my goal weight earlier this year but in a…
  • I would like to walk around the neighborhood after lunch and dinner (2 times daily) which would be about 4 miles a day. I would also like to drink more water and stay away from sugary drinks and sugary foods.
  • McDonald'sMocha Frappes or any kind of flavored iced coffees.
  • Hi! My name is Mary and this is the 2nd time I'm back with MFP. Was doing really well when I joined about a year ago but then I had some health issues and signed off for a while. Now, I am healthy and ready to start the new year on the right track with eating healthy food and losing about 10 lbs, clothes are a tad bit…

  • Prayers sent your way. I'm new to this group. It seems to me that as like as long as you stay within your calorie range, you should lose. Wishing you the best. :) Good luck and God bless.

  • Just two ingredients: frozen pineapple, almond milk, low-fat or any other type of milk. A good blender also a must!
  • Good luck!
  • Hi Bridget, I'm with you. I, too, am a former WW. It is definitely costly and when you're at goal (and it's suppose to be free at that point) and they tell you that you owe $15 because you were late (1 week over) in getting your monthly weigh-in, that's just plain cheap and really turned me off. So, I stopped going because…
  • 5'6 - Goal weight: 145 lbs or slightly lower but no lower than 135. Currently: 157 lbs
  • Lifetime member who fell off the wagon. Was thinking about returning but my friend, in the meantime, told me about this website and the fact this is free is a big plus! Really don't want to pay the weekly fee if I don't have to. Giving My fitness pal the college try!
  • Kim, I have thyroid issues also. I had low energy, dry hair and skin and, of course, the weight gain. Since starting medication to treat my hypothyroidism, everything improved and my thyroid returned back to normal levels, hurray! Anyways, during the fall and winter months, this year, I did fall off the diet wagon and…
  • Sounds like you have a good plan Amanda. I use to have a Bichon Frise, sweet dog! Miss him :( Anyways, puppies (like children) keep you moving which will help with your weight loss goal. Two more weeks until summer vacation up North, can't wait!
  • That's great!
  • That's great! Congratulations!
  • Good luck! You can do it!

  • Melinda, you will get there. If you follow the program, you will do well. Slow and steady will win the race. You can do it! Keep the faith! Good luck!
  • Everyone is different and losing weight for one person is definitely different from person to person. Hormones and having a thyroid condition caused my weight gain even though I always had to watch my weight throughout the years. Regardless, I'm happy with just losing 1 lb a week. Don't get me wrong, I would like a faster…
  • I'm a beginner too Windancer. Good luck to you on this journey. This seems to be a very good program so far. I now realize how much I was actually eating and this makes me more accountable of what I'm now putting into my mouth. I'm sure you will do great! Take care. :)
  • I, too, use to be addicted to Diet Coke but after having gastro problems, my doctor advised me to get off of it. The beginning is so hard but you will get over the hump and will begin to feel healthier. It's been 5 years since I had soda and I really don't miss it. The first 3-4 days were really hard. I sort of felt like a…
  • Hello, My name is Mary. I've been a yo-yo dieter for many years, on and off the wagon over and over again. My friend, Karen, told me the other day about this website and I'm very excited to begin this journey. I'm up 13 lbs from the fall and I'm anxious to get ready for summer. I'm currently 158 lbs and my goal is 145 lbs.…
