Hi. Change is hard. I also have thyroid issues. I am starting today once again. I like MFP it keeps track of the info I need to know. I wish you luck. I also need to lose 50/60 pounds. I go to a nutritionist and feel better, now to get the weight moving off. Good luck to you, Nan.

Protein!! Protein is your friend. It keeps you from being hungry and burn fat. There are all kinds of protein you can snack on also. Hang in there. Only you can decide to keep on going or let the over eating win. :) You can do it! Good luck!

When you go off, you just have to put it behind you and pick up and keep on keeping on. :) sometimes you just have to have an "off"day.. just remember to forget it and keep on going. :) You can do it! Good luck!

Protein sizes have increased? A serving should be the size of a deck of cards. There are lots of neat ways to measure your foods when you are out or at home, if you dont have other means. Good luck!

I agree with eating the right foods...but lots of fruits= lots of sugar, even if natural its too much..and veggie calories also count. Eat real foods, not fat free or low fat etc.. real foods. Good luck.

If you are talking about the Stevia that comes in the bottle with the dropper, I have tried it and I have to agree with the other person here, it taste horrible. You would have to keep using it and acquire a taste for it. I couldnt.

thanks. I am finding this a bit harder to figure out than what I was using. trying to see where the label list here are is hard.

I use splenda also. I think tho, the packets are more concentrated than the bulk as the bulk seems to take more to sweeten than the packets. I quit drinking carbonated drinks about a year ago. No longer crave them or sweets. I agree about the new stevia, it doesn`t taste good and seems to take lots more to get something…

Ok. I`m still having trouble figuring this out. How do you eat enough calories and not go over the amt of protein? ugh.

thanks. is there a place to view the calories, carbs etc before you choose your food from the search?

thank you very much. I was pulling my hair out trying to understand how this works. are the others also grams or different?

I just recently was told by my doctor, who specializes in thyroid and diabeties, that for someone who does not have diabeties my blood sugar was slightly up. For someone who does not have diabeties yet, he said that it should be below 100.. He also said the best way to keep from being diabetic was to lose weight. I also…

How well I know that. It happened to me once. I had lost weight and was almost down to my goal. Wearing smaller clothes and feeling good. Then someone came up to me and said so and so said I needed to stop losing. I wasnt even near my bottom goal weight. I`m a believer in if you cant say something good and uplifting, dont…

How do I see the "label information on the foods? I also cant figure how to enter my exercise. I do like what I have seen here and I am going to use it. :)

thanks. As I said, I am new here and I am not sure how to add friends. But I still dont understand about the numbers like with the protein ie..it says for daily total protein is 45. What does this mean or how do I count to make sure I dont go over it? I have tried to search the site but have not found where it tells how to…
