@Snooozie I can see your ticker if I click all the way through to your page (click your name here, click your name in pop up) though I did have to refresh it once after getting the ? box (common issue these days)

Greatly disturbing to see someone from my home town on here :D o:) Good luck with your weight loss! I took off 38 pounds last year and have been maintaining for 9 months (a tiny jump over Christmas, boo!) Anyway, this is how I did it. Simple but it works.…

Have a great day!

Oh my what to do Stale peanuts in my snickers Eat it anyway

So basically you are saying to eat in a deficit, and then add an exercise deficit on top of that, to lose faster than 2 pounds per week. You know you are supposed to eat back most of your exercise calories? And that it is unsafe to drop below 1200 NET calories per day (gross calories - exercise calories)? And that with the…

I'm not sure if @lemurcat12 meant that she literally didn't see the pic, or that she didn't see people sticking their heads in the sand about excessive sugar in this thread. edited to add, I assume the latter.

Just curious why you want to go to smoothies for breakfast? Is this for weight loss? Or other reasons?

I also tracked fibre instead of sugar, and it worked well for me.

Amazing results, way to go!

Every time you go it will get easier and feel less uncomfortable. So just go, and keep going.

My slogan when I started back 18 months ago, 'if you're tired of starting over', stop giving up!' I've been in maintenance for around 10 months now. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10257474/starting-out-restarting-basics-inside#latest

Remember the days when if your friend started a thread on the forums it would post to your wall? <sigh>

If your thyroid levels are stable, you should still be able to lose weight. Use a food scale, log accurately, and it will come. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10257474/starting-out-restarting-basics-inside#latest

Happy New Year!

If you're still hungry and your weight loss goal / calorie limit is reasonable for your weight and height, then you may need to look at making different food choices. Different foods satiate different people. I allocate 1/5 of my calories for breakfast (300), one fifth for lunch (300) 1/4 for dinner (~400) and the…

Weigh it and log it.

Tizzy, try starting here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10257474/starting-out-restarting-basics-inside#latest For me, I used the pre-set mfp macro settings, and just always tried to hit my protein macros. I didn't track sugars separately, instead I tracked fibre.

Missy, as long as the oranges don't interfere with meeting your other macros (protein and fat), it shouldn't make a difference to your weight loss.

It is standard that you are supposed to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and wait at least one hour before having any food, and preferably 2 hours before having any dairy. Unfortunately, pharmacies can be inconsistent conveying this message.

You need to treat your thyroid disease. Once your levels are stable, you will be able to lose weight just like anyone else (from my personal experience)

I believe you've done a grave injustice to the OP's post, to take what she has said, and basically throw it in a blender with various replies, and present that as if that is what she is saying. Perhaps going back to read the OP would add some clarity. Also, are you seriously trying to say people get 'high' off foods like…

Ignore, move on, and if it persists let the staff know.

If this was in reference to my comment about being careful about different ingredient formulations between countries, the reason I mentioned it is because some of us also use google or gluten free blogs. My point was to always check the label, even on products that were safe in the past (such as the lee & perrins I…

If you do decide to go GF and don't suspect Celiac, then that would be your personal choice. I would recommend staying away from GF replacement foods such as GF store bought muffins and such, as they tend to be nasty and no healthier than what it is replacing. I notice that you are in Canada. Be aware that there is hidden…

Small portions, moderation, and stay below maintenance calories.

Statci, please try not to get hung up on if you think someone is criticizing you. The fact is, if this was easy, we'd all be thin. If you were doing everything right, you'd be losing. We are all just trying to help you figure out where your numbers are off so you can achieve your goals. After all, that's what you want,…

The forums will probably be a bit crazy for the next month or so while a whole lot of new people join with new year's goals, so it will probably get a bit confusing, but if you read in the forums enough you will come to know who you can trust. You can do this!

Leeanne, I have never bothered to track my sugars, just always made sure to hit my protein minimum. Try my post I linked earlier: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10257474/starting-out-restarting-basics-inside#latest It really does work. While starting out, follow the KISS rule while you get the basics down.…
