Diet has been much better, but still not exercising like I should. Tomorrow I’m going to put air in my tires and go for a bike ride. Turning off the diagnostics and just riding to feel the wind in my face. It will be slow and that is a hit to my pride, but I need to start somewhere. Maybe next week I’ll ride 2 days. I’d…

She doesn't necessarily need fewer calories than other women her size. She just needs to make sure she sets her activity level correctly, logs her food accurately, and takes a look after 4-6 weeks to figure out if she needs an adjustment. Hypothyroidism tend to make us tired and less active so we burn fewer calories than…

@dankenyon1986 do you add exercise on top of the 1900 calories? MFP seems to give a very generous calorie burn for cycling. If you are overestimating the calorie burn and under estimating your intake, that will slow you down. Good luck!

That's a wide acceptable range. What are your stats? How much did you tell MFP you wanted to lose per week? What calorie allotment did MFP give you?

Night time snacking is tough. Last night I was very peck-ish, I tried everything from playing with the puppy to, drinking more water to on-line shopping (not really good either). I knew I wasn't really hungry. I was bored and tired. I only had a few hundred calories left for the day. I aim for 1350-1450 a day. I did have…

Girl, I feel you! I also crested 200 for the first time EVER, including pregnancies. You can make important changes by May, but the results are not going to be huge in that time frame. But please take the step and look beyond vacation. Set some reasonable goals and allow yourself grace from time to time. Nobody will be…

I'm glad you and your daughter are taking steps to be healthier. I do want to caution that even though weight loss can make us "happy" we still need to deal with the trauma. Seeing a therapist in conjunction with your weight loss plan may be very beneficial for both of you. Best of luck!

Good seeing you @Snowflake1968!

Tried retail therapy bought Halara workout pants and a HoneyLove bra. Been reading about them for months, guess I’ll find out if they are as good as the reviews. I was trying to curtail snacking, but finally gave in. I did settle for popcorn and stayed mostly within calories, but I wasn’t eating because I was hungry. I was…

@mytime6630 take it easy on yourself. Don't ignore the issues, but give yourself some grace. You've got a ton going on. Prayers for you husband and daughter.

Hope you all had a good holiday weekend. It was the first Easter in a long time that I didn't go to church. V came in late Saturday and was leaving Sunday so I opted to stay home with her. Sierra was in Philly at a rowing competition, and I missed her greatly. Growing up Easter was a special holiday for my family. We (Mom,…

My mini goal is to fit in the top I ordered last month. I got it and it was too tight. I have a tendency to go in hard and fast and burn out. I cut way back and then when I have a bad day I stop logging because I don't want to see it. Yesterday I had more calories than I should have, thank you pub trivia and free drinks. I…

Went back into my food diary for yesterday and updated it with the drinks I had as opposed to what I thought I'd have. Turns out that even though I was over it was only 153 calories. Still within maintenance so no reason to beat myself up as long as I don't make a habit of it. Other good news is I didn't eat extra due to…

@patriciafoley1 I use Outer Aisle Cauliflower Pizza Crust - Italian. 1 crust is 120 calories,4g carbs & 10g protein per serving (a whole crust). Each person can have a whole pizza, and though the family noticed a difference in the crust they didn't dislike it. At first it didn't crisp as well as I'd liked, but pre-cooking…

Gotta say, having a Gatorade for lunch instead of a sandwich after a rumbly tummy for 2 days was the correct choice. I feel better than I have since Sunday. Yay! May even feel well enough to eat a real dinner.

I be your doc would rather you start down a healthy path that isn't 100%, than sit on the sidelines. I mean sure they want you to do everything, but that isn't realistic in your case. You need to work up to it. No shame in that. As others have said, the food doesn't have to suck just because it's low carb or low calorie.…
