I only know it's likely related to my thyroid, because when I was previously hyperthyroid, (although not with autoimmune hyperthyroidism), the meds made it very difficult to lose, and others on carbimazole say the same. Once I had the nodule removed and came off the meds, my weight began to stabilise and start to come off.…

I wish My endo would help, or just refer me to a dietician, but his attitude is just that Its not a major problem, it'll sort itself when I come off the meds, but by then the weight gain could be way more than this. Its likely to be at least another 6 months before remission. And thank you, I've been focusing on the fact…

Yeah, i only posted a couple of the screenshots. The up and down has been going on for the last few months, then i downloaded the app so to actually record my daily weight to see if there was a pattern over the last 4 weeks, and the pattern is just gain and lose and gain and lose without reason. I'm not really seeing much…

Our weights and weight losses are very similar. Im 5'6" down from around 310 to 172 now. So I'm impressed that your weight loss hasn't slowed down before this. I've had months without mine shifting a single pound, months of just losing 1/2 a pound the entire month. Just don't stop. Keep going. You'll lose 24 pounds in…

This what I did for the first 3 months. I focused on logging every single thing I ate, stuck to the mfp calorie deficit and weighed daily, so I could see the pattern of weight loss, and for the first two months I lost 1.5 pounds, the 3rd I lost 0.75 pounds. When you've got 120 pounds to lose, that's not enough. It's not…

Thanks. It's definitely set as steps, walking. Apart from when I'm jogging or dancing, when it sets it as running. I try to add additional exercise separately, but walking was just to try and raise my activity level from sedentary to lightly active. I am very heavy, so I should be burning quite a lot, but not that much. I…

I started at over 310 pounds and have lost almost 80. I have another 100 to lose. It's been a LONG struggle over about 6 years (and 2 babies). I've lost weight very slowly because of my pcos and insulin resistance, but just don't give up. even if you don't lose weight for several weeks (sometimes a couple of months) don't…

start small, pick one thing to tackle and then do that. I started at over 300 pounds some years back, I used to just throw myself into diets and exercise and burn out. This time I simply battled my problems one by one and added new things as I progressed. I started with my diet because that was my main problem, I read a…

The incomplete days are my fast days. I aim to eat 500 to 600 calories, but sometime it's more like 900, but everything is logged, apart from water. If something is logged without weight then that usually means I know the calories, have worked them out and have made sure they match up. Or I've eaten at a restaurant and…

thanks for the help. My ticker weight goal is an interim goal. When I started the idea of having SO much weight to lose was disheartening, so I set an easier goal. In reality I have about 110 pounds to lose, but I prefer not to think about the total loss right now. I have a very high bodyfat (around 51%) so I think that is…

you look fantastic. I found it very hard to diet after my son died, its so hard. you've done amazingly and inspire me to keep going.

I started at well over 300 pounds. I'm now 236. I find the elliptical is really good. I can go for 40 minutes now and I also have terribly painful joints due to autoimmune issues, it doesn't make it much worse. I also enjoy lifting. Just take small steps, small changes make big changes.

I think I'll definitely try that. thanks. And I'll try to do a plank and maybe some squats. I'm starting new meds soon, I might even get some more good days :)

probably not enough protein and too many carbs if I'm honest. for example last week my total protein intake was 302g, mfp says I need 596 and that's about average throughout. I don't think I could manage lunges...maybe on good days, but I'd suffer for it with my knees, pelvis, hips etc. I can do some light squats, and…

I use my measurements and an online calculator, I also have scales which calculate body fat, and they are pretty similar, give or take a percentage.

thanks, I've set it for a 750 calorie deficit and how many steps I'm aiming for etc. Is that all I have to do?

kgeyser, that is pretty much what I've been doing but I've been gaining not losing and it's by reducing my calories I've discovered that i maintain at 1800, any more than that I simply gain weight. I'm not on any medication right now. I've actually just found a TDEE calculator and if I calculate my TDEE using just my…

well the 1800 is from eating that much and observing the scales for a few weeks and seeing no change. I had been eating what MFP recommended - 1900 to lose 1 pound a week, based on no exercise and a sedentary lifestyle, and slowly gaining for a couple of months. I am very inactive, although I try to lift light hand weights…

pregnancy is not the time to try and lose weight. Eat a healthy diet, high in GOOD fats and low GI, and your body will do what it needs to do. It's not worth putting your baby's life at risk by dieting. I just ate a diabetic diet and very healthily and I only gained 2lbs the entire pregnancy, without exercise because I was…

I'm no longer eating a diabetic diet. It was hard work, on top of dairy allergies and now eating gluten free as my son is sensitive to that. I could do, as obviously I did lose weight on it. it's definitely worth thinking about! thanks! I could tell my supply dropped because my baby would come to be nursed as usual then…

:( With my first son I was exclusively pumping and didn't lose weight but assumed that was because I was pumping and he was premature...you would think with how much I have to lose my body wouldn't cling to the fat lol. Especially as I lost 24 pounds while pregnant...probably because I was eating a diabetic diet.

I have a digital scale and pretty much everything goes on unless i already know the calories (like when I eat one of the baby carrot crispies - yum lol) Maybe sometimes I'll taste something, while cooking or something...hmmm... Everyone told me how great breastfeeding is for weight loss and I've gained and gained over the…

chillin'

I wanted to share mine even though I still have a way to go - to remind me to keep going. before around 320 pounds After around 250 pounds. Take into account I was also 12 weeks pregnant in this picture. I haven't really got back into it since having the baby, but I just need a kick up the bum lol. And I still weigh less…
