Well my doctor told me that low thyroid hormone causes metabolism to slow. But hey what does a medical doctor know right? 🤷

And apparently as I just found out you need the fat too, to little fat can also leave you feeling extremely hungry... And I thought it was a good thing if I kept under the suggested 30 of the 50/20/30, 50% carbs (complex carbs preferably) 20% protein, 30% fat... 🤦🤦🤦🤷 Live n learn!

Well I just learned something about why I am having days of extreme hunger and I thought it was a good thing if I kept my fat intake lower than the suggested 30 of the 50/20/30. 🤦🤦🤦🤷 Progress not perfection! Glad to learn more though!

I think it's awesome to see another believer working to treat their body as the temple it was created to be! Keep giving Christ the glory and praise and lots of prayers 🙏. Praying for the body of Christ that the Lord will bless and strengthen us all in that area! God bless!

Maybe consider bringing vegetable snacks like baby carrots and sliced celery sticks to snack on when you start craving those sweets at work? I'm struggling right now myself really want to eat that second cookie.... Good advice only helps if you (talking about me) implement it...

another idea is have one day where you allow yourself two sodas like maybe Sunday tell yourself if you go all week without one then you can have two on Sunday or something like that. I have one day where I indulge a little in food if I maintain my week doing both calorie goal and exercise goal...

My reasons are I'm 32 I weigh 250 lb I have high blood pressure my mother died of heart disease and I want to be a better example for my son I also take a moment to look in the mirror and remind myself that I don't like what…

Mrs thyroid here, you CAN do! It just takes more time than a month and 3 lbs in a month is actually decent loss. Maybe do some research so you can be clearer on what to expect timeframe wise on weightloss..
