  • I did an experiment once where I weighed myself every hour during the day. My weight fluctuates all day based on what I ate or what came out. (Sorry). It was about a 5 lb difference throughout the day. Im sure it’s just the beer causing the fluctuation

  • I think I’m going to go for that without the guacamole.

  • That was the plan - to skip the bun. Trying to decide between the grilled buffalo chicken or the burger. I’m guessing the chicken is the better choice.

  • Thanks. I don’t normally eat like that - well at least not since I started tracking calories this month. But I’m also going out Friday night which will make 2 days eating out in a row so I wanted to make the best calorie choice possible.

  • Great weigh in this week! Haven't thought about superbowl snacks yet. Probably some pepperoni bread - which ISN'T THAT BAD if you work it into your calorie allowance for the day. Paired with tons of veggies! Bummed my Patriots aren't in it this year :-(

  • I would recommend seeing an endocrinologist. My General practitioner only treated my lab values. And while my labs would show I was in the normal range, I didn’t feel good. He wasn’t listening to my ongoing symptoms. I found a good Endo and he listened. We are trying a new / different mix of meds and while I still don’t…

  • Time to find a new doctor. If you're still having symptoms of hypothyroidism, your medication may need to be adjusted. I've had hypothyroidism for almost 30 years. After I had my son, my normal levothyroxine dosage just no longer worked for me. I'm finally seeing one of the top endocrinologists in my area and he just…

  • I weigh myself daily and i just went back and noticed that on 8/22 it reduced my daily calories by 10. At this point I had recorded a 5 lb loss. So it looks like it does update automatically and at the 5 lbs lost mark - at least that's what it is doing for me. Thanks for the replies!

  • Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I really appreciate it. Today is officially the last day of my first month. Just hit 199.2 on the scale! This was a huge milestone for me and I'm happy to have reached it. I like this. I've actually been doing the "Just give me 10 days" challenge here on MFP. If I think about it in…

  • Mine was not taking measurements at the beginning. I took them yesterday - about a month in but I wish I took them at the start too. I have tons of pictures of me fat - and some from when I was young and skinny. I actually printed them out and look at them all the time. I look at the fat pictures to remind myself of who I…

  • Can you do anything the expedite making lunches? Are the kiddos old enough to stay home for 30 minutes? Do you have a significant other that can help? They could do their homework on their own while you bike ride and then you could check it when you get home. I know how hard it is. I'm a working mom too. Most days when I…

  • I don't bullet journal but I do use a planner that is "decorative". The easiest way I can describe it is that it's like planning and scrap booking mixed together. Yes I use stickers. Yes I use washi tape. Others may think it's silly but I love it. It's almost like a functional hobby.
