I have hypothyroidism too and losing weight is hard. I have learned to adjust my expectations and know that losing half a pound a week is a good week. Many months am closer to a pound a month down rather than a pound a week like many people are able to do. But, the overall trend is down and that's a good thing. I had to…

I just love your post! I can relate to every one of your points and am really working on the mental game as much as anything. The one thing I had to stop doing is thinking this is about weight loss and start thinking this is about my health. When just focusing on the number on the scale, I'd get discouraged when the number…

The pregnancy triggered Hashimoto's, but it took several doctors over many years to finally figure it out. It's hard for me to lose weight, but was even harder when I stopped working out…

baked potatoes - either russet or sweet - are the best in the air fryer

Emphasize the progress. Running 50 miles is awesome, and you're making lifestyle changes that will be more likely to last a lifetime.

Holy s**t! You look amazing!

I completely understand where you're coming from. I've right there too. You have to remember that while the weight loss is certainly what you want, it's not the only thing you should be doing this for. You are working out, eating well, and getting healthier as a result. That's worth sooooo much more than the number on the…
