Hi Friends, the scale is finally moving, lost 3.5 pounds since I had this conversations. :) thanks for all your support.

so i measured myself last night. i lost one and a half inches from my waist. i am so happy...

so 1200 calories and moderate workout can get me where I need to be...I think a little bit of everything caused me to gain weight without realizing.

I am still reading your positive comments and feeling motivated. Motivation is all i need. For mean and rude comments, i have my family:) love you guys!!!

no.

Thank you everyone for the support and great advises.... i'll be back in a month to update you all. I feel much better now. !!! <3

clothes are fitting better. I don't have to wear layers to cover up anymore---maybe this is the beginning of all the efforts I am putting. I have put most of my weight during pregnancy and my baby is 6 months now. I was 160 before pregnancy.

well all I can say after your comments is that I wasn't realizing my calorie intake. I was eating more and not calculating at all before Jan 8. I am 180 because I wasn't eating right but not losing anything in 4 weeks is also discouraging... no? when should I start seeing difference? another month maybe?

where I am now is because of the carbs. I used to eat less (portion wise) but always carbs and didn't realize they make you gain weight. now that I am logging everything I am realizing how much carbs and sugar I used to consume in those portions.

last time I got my thyroid checked was in December and doctor put me at levothyroxine 50 mg for 3 months. will get it checked again in March. but as someone said it plays a little role when it comes to lose weight so I cant fully blame thyroid for that. its gotta be what I eat.

yes, I do have a food scale and I weigh every thing that goes in my mouth.

I am not gonna give up. atleast my hanging belly is not so hanging anymore...:) thanks ladies!

I do have thyroid issues and i take medicine for that. Maybe thats why its taking long for me to lose weight.
