  • 5'7", so close. I'm 30. I started at 147 and my goal is to get back to what I weighed before numerous health issues (125). I'm at 129 right now, so I'm almost there. Though I certainly wouldn't complain if I could get back to what I weighed when I got married (118) :smiley:
  • Me. I'm a senior analyst (IT for pharmaceutical accounts), but because our room is small for this account, walking the floor to help first levels isn't even a thing. Luckily, we live across from a public trail (converted railroad bed) and we have a bunch of state parks within a reasonable drive. When the weather is nice,…
  • Finally got a food scale :D It even matches my kitchen island (bamboo with black). I checked it against a few different food servings yesterday and it seems pretty accurate (for example 1 rice cake or 1 chocolate bar). I'm not reading great reviews about accuracy, but everyone keeps saying it's inaccurate because the grams…
  • Ditto. As hypothryoid as one can get (no thyroid). First thing is first. You need to make sure that your medicine is working for you. This may mean multiple adjustments and possibly throwing in t3. You may need to change brands or even try NDT. Make sure ALL levels are good, not just TSH (too many doctors rely on TSH…
  • When spelling errors spruce up a thread, lol :blush:
  • 5'7" and currently 134. In dresses I'd say I'm somewhere around 6 or 8. Most of my dresses use S/M/L/XL sizes, and I have some in each size. I do wish clothing manufacturers would figure out a universal size chart and stick with it -_-
  • Mind you a couple of those changes are undesired... :|
  • At about 12 pounds (about 2 weeks ago). I can easily slide a ring on and off that was comfortably snug months prior. The sleeves on some of my smaller tshirts no longer feel so tight. My upper legs look a little smaller to me. The gap in my bra is growing (sigh). If I catch myself walking by the mirror, I like my shape…
  • They definitely were :D I'll find some way to make up for it though ^.^
  • I just added it all up. OMG... 1800 in only 3 drinks :s
  • Thank you :) I found nearly identical recipes for 2 of them. Just working on the 3rd. I appreciate the help!
  • yes, booze, lol. I wrote it up in a hurry as I was about to run out the door to bring my daughter to an appointment. Ok, so I made a deal with my mom to go hiking on sunday since my husband did nothing but complain about how he's too old for this the last time I went with him. She's not really in shape so I'm not sure how…
  • I don't feel guilty, but I do get very frustrated. I grew up with a very active lifestyle helping on a friends farm, chopping wood all summer, riding my bike 6-10 miles a day, walking a lot to and from everywhere... Long story short, I live in a suburban area now and have a desk job. Several years back I slowly gained…
  • 30 here! My goal is 22 lbs. I've lost 12 so far and have 10 more to go (once this darn cold leaves me alone). Anyone here, feel free to add me as well :)
  • 5'7" from PA SW 147 CW 136 GW 125
  • I did live abroad for 4 years in the past, but didn't gain or lose weight. However, on a 2 week business trip to Barcelona last year, I lost somewhere between 7-10 pounds. I ate so much healthier there and walked a LOT because there was a metro employee strike at the time that decreased the availability of public…
  • Don't sweat it. I've gotten a bit frustrated at having lost weight at a steady pace, then I wake up and I've... gained? OMG it is so aggravating, especially because that small gain was always the point in the past (before my health problems were addressed) where I stopped losing no matter how hard I tried. It's a bitter…
  • Me. After a lot of tests that pointed in a vague direction but didn't narrow it down, we're waiting to see if it fades away as the rheumatologist suspects it could have been brought on by my thyroid cancer, and may get better as my body gets used to depending on my medicines. It has been improving oh so slowly, but it's…
  • I'll have to wait until my paycheck after next. We're counting pennies right now. Good news is that as of this morning, I am .2 lbs from my half way mark. I also didn't realize my diary was set to private, so I just set it to share with friends.
  • TL;DR - there will always be someone who wants to rain on your parade. When I was in school I was bullied at lot, and was called chicken legs, told I look like a 12 year old boy, called beanpole, an ironing board, etc. I was always told they'll eventually grow up. HA! Grown women are even worse. Before I started having…
  • So I went to use it last night, and my husband stopped me and pointed out that it's not accurate. He said it weighs a little over every time. A little? I thought it was odd that wegman's scale weighed the sunflower seeds at .45 lbs, and his scale at 1 lb. He said it doesn't bug him because the postage price difference…
  • Added/accepted! :D
  • It does have tare. I don't think it's waterproof though. We've had it for years and use it a lot for printing labels to ship stuff.
  • Thank you! I have a usps mail scale and it changes to ounces and grams. I wonder if it's about the same sensitivity?
  • I've added you all if you don't mind :) I'm about 2 years out and still trying to address some issues. So far my diet changes have helped a bit though!
