Hi, guys--time for the weigh-in: Last week: 221 lbs This week: 221 lbs So, obs, the Synthroid hasn't kicked in yet--it's only been a week, and the doctor did tell me it could take up to a month for it to regulate my thyroid. So, while I will continue on my weight loss quest, I will re-join you guys in November. This way, I…

Hi, guys! In preparation for tomorrow's weigh-in, I thought I'd catch up with my daily digits: Saturday, 9.21 yes/yes/yes Sunday, 9.22.19 yes/yes/yes Monday, 9/23 yes/yes/yes Tuesday, 9.24 yes/no/yes (I went over my calorie count, oops!) Wednesday, 9/25 yes/yes/yes Thursday, 9/26 yes/yes/yes Friday, 9.27 yes/yes/yes I've…

@swauters I am so sorry about your kitty. I'm sending lots of hugs your way.

@swauters thank you! It's only been a week, so no change yet, but at least I'm finally taking the Synthroid!

Hi! It's weigh-in day! Sunday 9.15 yes/yes/yes Monday 9.16 yes/yes/yes Tuesday 9.17 yes/yes/yes Wednesday 9.18 yes/yes/yes Thursday, 9.19 yes/yes/yes Friday, 9.20 yes/yes/yes Last Saturday, 9.14 220 lbs This Saturday, 9.21 220 lbs Holding steady--and I've started the Synthroid for my thyroid, so hopefully...

RE: Question of the Week, I have my only "snack" of the day before bedtime. I have a cup of hot tea (Tetley British Blend) with a splash of 2% milk and 2 raw sugars (45 calories total), along with two Honeymaid graham crackers (140 calories) about an hour before bed (and my last glass of water for the day.) I'm gonna be…

Today, the Dr said I'm doing very well and that she's happy with my progress. I frankly haven't heard that since Junior was born and I had my first post-natal exam 16 years ago. I feel better, I move a little easier, and my husband keeps chasing me around the house. I guess it's working, but the hypothyroidism is still an…

Weigh-in day: Sunday 9.8 yes/yes/yes Monday 9.9 yes/yes/yes Tuesday, 9.10 yes/yes/yes Wednesday, 9.11 yes/yes/yes Thursday, 9.12 yes/yes/yes Friday, 9.13 yes/yes/yes Weight last Saturday, 9.7 217.8lbs Weight today, 9.14 220.2lbs.

@HASWLRS I take milk and two sugars in my tea--it can add up to as much as 45 calories, lol.

Saturday, 9.7.19: yes/yes/yes Sunday, 9.8.19: yes/no/yes--I blew my calorie count with a cup of tea. #sorrynotsorry LOL, you gotta pick your battles, right?

I am so glad I decided to continue with this into September! I'm in Orlando, and the stress of literally waiting for a hurricane to hit usually lands me in front of the fridge with a fork (It's all gonna melt if we lose power--quick, eat!!) But I am trying to keep calm and HYDRATE instead. I feel like I've drunk enough…

Hi, everyone! My name is Wendy and I am in Winter Park, Florida. I'm struggling right now with my attempts at fitness due to still-unaddressed hypothyroidism (my DR's appointment is 9/14), but I am giving it everything I've got to change my lifestyle to a healthier one. My goal for September is to lose at least a pound a…

@heaz10 --you, too! Thank you! I do feel a bit better today. We walked for 40 minutes this morning, which might have been pushing it a little bit in the Florida heat and humidity. I'm aiming for a "napless Thursday," LOL, but if I need to, I will (not like I get a choice, but you know what I mean.) Gotta take each day a…

I'm 52 and still peri. Oh when, when, when will this END? You are my new spirit animal. #lifegoals And I hear you about your daughters--my 15-year-old and I are in synch, and the hubs usually gets that faraway look in his eyes as he heads out to the market for more chocolate, heating pads, and supplies!

Hi, Saturday, 8.17: yes/yes/yes Sunday, 8.18: yes/yes/no exercise (rest day) Monday, 8.19: yes/yes/yes Tuesday, 8.20: yes/yes/yes I feel like I'm doing the minimum right now. I am tired and achy all the time, my fibromyalgia flared up again because of the stress of my kid returning to school. Today I was so tired, I barely…

@LMK02020 Thank you for the commiseration--I feel ya on that ice cream, too! My spirit animal, Nigella Lawson, says that there are no "guilty pleasures", just "pleasure". The key is balance and a lot of Pilates, lol! (Hey, it works for her. B) ) I'm going to try and remember that from now on, you know what I mean?

@HASWLRS Thank you for keeping it real--the alternative is to give up, and you're right, I really don't want to. I'll just keep on trying. Thank you ALL for being there. I know you understand. #thestruggleisREAL

HASWLRS, Synthroid won't make it easier to lose weight per se; I'll still have to work double hard because of my being in midlife. But the thyroid produces the hormones that regulate your metabolic weight, heart, and digestive function. When it doesn't work properly and doesn't produce enough of those hormones, it's called…
