My goal is 1320. I do a lot of walking (averaged 17,796 steps in Sept.), so am usually under my calories if I snack at night. I'm only 5'0". Feel free to add me!

Hi! I spent 6 years having my thyroid nodules scanned and biopsied. Last Spring, I got tired of not being able to breathe at night and always having to clear my throat. Dr. said I had a large growth in my right thyroid, so last June he removed it (the size of a baseball). Since then, I've had my levels checked every 90…

So happy I lost a little! I'm not expecting miracles but am going to try to be consistent and not get discouraged. I went for a 3+ mile walk this afternoon and am going to Zumba tonight. I really appreciate this challenge being available to help us stay motivated!

I just reduced mine back to 1280/day as I wasn't losing and know this was the key. I'm very active at work but I think the calories were to high despite the activity. Feel free to see my diary (I do have bad days once in a while :)) and add me as a friend! Melinda

I usually have 2 cups coffee each morning with: 2 servings of Coffee Mate Unsweetened French Vanilla and 2 drops of EZ-Sweetz liquid sweetener (we get on Amazon). I'll use other flavors but only if unsweetened and on sale. Enjoy!
