Username: amynew4u December Week 1 Previous weight: 289 Current Weight: 285.8 note to self: pedicure time! Three things that are helping me the most: 1. Tracking everything I eat/drink on MFP 2. One day, one meal, one walk, one goal at a time 3. Choosing to make myself a priority - for some reason, this timing seams right.

Hi, all. Wanting to join, but unsure how you work together! I can give you my basic stats and a few goals: Name: Amy Age: 49 HW: 309 SW: 301 (late Oct.) CW: 285 1st mini-goal: 275 2nd mini-goal: 250 The first 6 weeks I worked on CICO, water and portion control. I'm now adding in intentional exercise and strength training.…

For me, mini goals are important. It isn’t just about the weight, though that’s certainly in the mix. The first six weeks were about portion control, water and logging every morsel. Now I’m ready to add intentional movement. That includes what I’m calling GETOUT35. Not including my standard lifestyle craziness, I want to…

Hi! I’m Amy from Minneapolis and am happy to include this challenge as part of my lifestyle change. I’ve been working on nutrition and food choices for 6 weeks and am ready to add in cardio and strength training.

Hi! Are you waiting for my SW to assign me? If so, 288. Thx!

Me!

For my Endo, it is defined as an extended period with little to no symptoms, within range numbers and therefore no need for thyroid meds.

Indeed, I do. I am in "remission" but work with an endocrinologist that trusts my intuition and symptoms rather than the numbers and normal range.

It seems important to note here that the originator of this thread made some very specific requests. While I believe I can trust that all of these comments are meant only to help and be supportive, but I'd like you to know a few things about me that expose me/make me vulnerable, but might inform: - I am and was under the…

I appreciate your feedback. In fact, as I am working through what is clearly an unhealthy relationship with food, I have identified diet soda and caffeine, specifically those with aspartame to contribute to headaches and fatigue. Further, by giving up diet soda, I am drinking exclusively water which in turn drastically…

Such good news! I’m curious as to calories. I find myself pushing to get between 1,100-1,200 and really need to keep an eye on it. I notice a change in my bathroom habits (for lack of a better phrase) if I don’t. Much like you, I remain satisfied with the slow and steady approach. I’m definitely not as attracted to sweets…

I’m about 15 lbs down. How about you all? Side effects are minimal. Water intake clearly impacts the dry mouth and tingling, which have been bearable for me. Update if you feel comfortable doing so! Hope all is well!

Someone should start a group!

Need to lose 100+, which I can’t imagine doing without support and friends! I’m in! Whatever group we can create let’s do it.

Checking in - how’s your progress?

I, too, am on this road. I am starting with the topiramate for 3 weeks and will then add the phentermine. This, in combination with increased activity and decreased calories - approximately 1300. I’m only 6 days in of 50 mg which will increase by 25 mg every 7 days. I have experienced a bit of dizziness but not much…
