I had my thyroid removed last year and have spent that year fighting with levels of medication and weight roller coaster. My advice to you is to find a Doctor that will LISTEN to you. You know your body better than anyone else. If you feel tired and are gaining weight or not losing when you normally would, then your levels…

I am 5'8" and trying to get to 160. I can't even imagine 115. I think you are not losing weight because you are already below your recommended BMI. If you want to build muscle, then lift weights and eat healthy. I am sure it is frustrating to not be losing, but your body will go into holding mode if you don't need to loose…

I know slow weight loss is difficult, but the slower you loose it the better it will stay off!!! Exercise enough to make you really sweat everyday, and eat well. Eating as little as possible won't make you loose weight either. Figure out your target calorie goals for your current weight and height and then eat them all! 10…

I was doing the same thing and getting so discouraged. I made my husband put the scale away and only get it out for me once a week. I also started measuring instead of weighing. I have been losing inches instead of pounds and liking it better!

I am a mother of 5, who is on a lifetime journey to eat right and exercise everyday! I am trying to make my weight and what I look like second to health. I had my thyroid removed in March and gained 13 pounds. I am trying to lose that weight and the other 8 pounds I had before surgery. I have been trying since January and…

If I do not eat enough calories, I simply stop losing weight, "cheat more" and lose motivation. I used to think eating less equals weight loss. Now I realize eating ENOUGH healthy and the right types of food equals weight loss. If I am hungry I eat a small handful of almonds and drink a glass of water. It almost always…

I just finished the 30 day shred. I lost 4 pounds and 11 inches over all (3 around my waist)! I was shaky at first and thought it would kill me, but now I can almost do the entire level 3. THe only reason I can't do all of it is because I have really weak wrists and some of the exercises put too much stress on my wrists. I…

I love my Champion underwire sports bra!!! I am a DD and it holds me very well. I know you can buy them online or Kohls. They are pricy but so worth it!

I will clarify: I lost 3 inches around my waist, 2 around my mid waist, 2 inches around my hips, 1 1/2 around my thigh, and 1/2 inch around my arm.

I have never had a gym membership and only worked out in a gym 3 times. I am a mother of 5. Getting to the gym is my major problem with 2 kids still at home. I can workout at home doing aerobics, lifting weights, and walking at nap time and not worry about getting the kids to child care at the gym. It is much cheaper as…

THANKS!!!

Keep it up! You can reach those goals and when you feel like it is hopeless, just drink some water and remind yourself of what you have already done!
