Yum! Although I can't have it anymore ): Sushi

Hi I was just diagnosed this week from an ultrasound and labwork. I always suspected it though and had weight loss surgery 6 weeks ago. I'd like to be friends on MFP if you want a buddy!

I make a huge pot of brown rice and black beans with chopped vegggies on Sundays and divide them up for my husband and I's lunches during the week. He likes to have a meat added to his which would require a fridge but I just eat mine with sliced avocado for a cheap and filling lunch that's protein packed.

Glad to hear it's not just me either. I barely made it through grocery shopping last night my husband asked if I was tired because I was walking slow and off kilter and looked drunk! I wasn't sleepy but felt like I had to sit down real soon. It's like that most days I just don't feel great. I only manage about 36oz of…

I feel your pain, I really do. On top of the hypothyroid I also am on antidepressants and birth control so my medications make it somewhat difficult to lose actual pounds.

I'm on week 1 day 5 and it's funny that the hardest part is actually eating all of the meals! I think week one is difficult because it's meal, snack 1, snack 2, meal 2....and it makes it hard during busy mornings to have time to eat like that. But the good part is that I'm not as hungry as I have been on other diets. I…

I eat the healthiest when I'm at work on my shifts because I pack a strict lunch box to take with me. Breakfast of eggs/bacon/sausage lunch of deli meats and cheeses, lettuce for wrapping and condiments, greek yogurt, berries and nuts for a snack before the 5am med pass. Work has diet ginger ale so I drink one or two of…

You didn't mention how much water you're drinking, or if you're drinking anything else. Dehydration can cause headaches and is a very important part of a calorie restricted diet. Not saying you need to have the full 8 glasses but you should definitely shoot for that amount and if you're giving up caffeinated drinks, that…

I take vitamins whether or not they work because a healthy habit is a good one to have. No name multivitamin with iron Sublingual B12 1000mcg (I'm very anemic - my stomach doesn't absorb iron well so I get the under the tongue kind) Lactobacillus (same ingredients as Activia and other probiotics in one easy capsule) for…

Hi! I just joined less than a week ago but I think seeing other people's status updates provides some motivation and accountability if you know you are going to go over your calories and it will be your status update. We can be friends if you like, I only have one!
