Absolutely. Walking is a great way to help one loose weight. Nutrition/diet being the #1 way to lose. You can do this!

Added. :smile:

Added 😊

Unless you have autoimmune disease like I do. The ONLY way I lose weight or not go through the day in pain, is to avoid gluten at all costs. So no, very real to me. I must be one of the mere 5%. Interesting numbers. I’d like to see where those facts are located.

You HAVE to eat grains and meat in order to live 🤦🏻‍♀️

I need to break it down into smaller chunks so this will work. I have 100 to lose from my start weight. Already down 4.1 so it’s a start! So 40 by Feb is almost half way to my goal! 😊

I also had RAI as well as radiation (thyroid cancer). And I’m back too (took a break as my mom battled brain cancer and passed away in June 2018. I hear you about it running rampant. Liver is now affected here, so I am getting serious about taking care of myself. My mom would want that. ♥️

Yes, on meds for the rest of my life. Never giving up! :smile: I’m Hashi/hypo for the rest of my life.

I have hashimotos with hypothyroidism and only 2 parathyroids left as the other two were damaged so they removed them during surgery. Yes I take meds every day for the rest of my life. Nothing is impossible. Love that!

I have exactly 100 to lose and I restarted yesterday (my mom just passed away so I am restarting as I had to care for/focus on her). I’ll join all of you and see where it goes.

I will join you. I have a lot more to lose than you, but I’ll start with 40. Good luck! You got this!

I lost almost 40 lbs last spring (2017). But I let myself go as my mom got more sick (brain cancer.). She just passed a few months ago, in June 2018, and I promised her i would take care of myself, so I’m back again. That is what she would have wanted (and yes I gained it all back from the stress of her illness). One day…

I completely understand. My mom fought for 18 months with brain cancer and lived in another state. I felt guilty every time I went home to try to care for my family for a bit. My mom would have been devastated if she knew I felt guilty. I had to try to take care of myself, as that is what she would have wanted. You should…

Congrats!!! That’s awesome!

Just finished up Scandal. Couldn’t tear myself away!

I don’t eat my exercise calories back. I prefer a deficit.

A doctor (that I fired afterwards) told me I MUST eat meat and grains to live. Umno. I don’t NEED those things to live.

Oldie but goodie here lol

I'd love some similar friends who have 80 plus lbs to lose. I have 80 more pounds to go. Let's do this! One pound at a time!

I couldn't agree more ☺️

Absolutely!!!

https://www.fitbit.com/user/37X85Y Feel free to add me. I am going on my 3rd week on MFP and just connected my fitbit tonight. :)

I'm on my second week here. Would love some motivational friends to support and be supported by.

I do. Feel free to add me.

I'm on week 2 and would love some new motivational friends. Add me if you want. It's so much nicer with supportive friends!

The half is my favorite distance!!! I'll support you any way that I can

I'm a person battling hashimotos and hypothyroidism. Had my thyroid removed 10 years ago so it's been a real life struggle. But not giving up!!! Add me if you want to, would love to have more Hashi/hypo friends.

You can add me as well :)

I'm on the AIP diet. They say not to count calories on AIP but I'm doing it anyway. It's a real struggle to be hashis and hypo. But it can be done if we don't give up.

I love this suggestion!!! What a great habit to adapt to!!! I'll try this very thing today. Thank you!
