I'm in the same camp!! I quit refined sugar 18 months ago and I felt immensely better! I even lost 50 pounds. Unfortunately I stopped exercising a few months ago due to stress and wound up gaining back about 15 pounds. The only thing that has ever worked for me is a high protein diet with a combination of aerobics and…

Thank you to everyone who posted! I am really struggling with hunger at night and your input really helped!! Hope everyone makes the choices they want to make tonight!

Oh my gosh ... your post made my day!!! I am on my 4th day being smoke-free. I had a 1/2 pack per day habit for nearly 10 years ... none of my 5 kids knew I smoked, nor did my coworkers, because the only time I did so was when I was driving by myself and I could leave all the car windows open. As silly as it sounds, I have…

Congratulations!!! You look absolutely incredible!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story - I am hypothyroid and Hashimoto's as well ... struggling to get everything optimized while pushing myself to eat clean and exercise. Thank you so much for sharing your victory - it is truly inspirational! :)

Oh my gracious - what a stellar transformation! I am hypo/Hashimoto's myself and am deeply inspired by your incredible success!!!! Do you have any diet or exercise tips for those of us challenged with thyroid issues? Again, you have had an amazing journey...CONGRATULATIONS!

I can completely relate to your struggle ... for years I found myself binge eating during the middle of the night. I would wake up with candy wrappers or cookie crumbs everywhere in my bed. My husband was totally understanding, but when I started getting depressed about the situation he suggested that I see my doctor about…

Hello! I'm 1 year into a diagnosis of hypothyroid, two nodules and Hashimotos. It is incredibly difficult to get into an endo here ... 6 month wait list. While I waited, I gained 8 inches in my abdomen and 20 pounds in the 2 months after going on synthroid. I had a full battery of tests given these symptoms and wound up…

Oh.my.gosh. Congratulations on your amazing results - you are absolutely radiant!!!! Thank you for sharing the details of your lifting program ... I powerlifted as a teenager and have been reluctant to go back to lifting now for fear of bulking up at my current size. Based on your results, though, I'm going to give it a go…

What a brave, authentic post! I really respect your genuineness. Please, please, please find a constructive outlet for your feelings - you and your potential are simply too awesome to sacrifice! Do you keep a journal? You have a knack for writing ... perhaps you could write your thoughts each day? Relative to the sugar, I…

Congratulations on beating your middle-of-the-night binge habit! I have had a similar issue for more than a decade and have followed a similar process to kick the habit. Even after a year of kicking my own habit, there are still times that I find myself standing in the kitchen in the middle of the night with no idea how I…

Welcome to MFP! I'm always in search of friends for motivation - I'm currently 229 (down from a start of 247) and I'm en route to a mid-term goal of 180. I'm turning 40 this year and am super dedicated to living better in a real, non-fad, non-deprivation way. I have five fabulous kiddos and work full time, so I have to…

Wah-Hoo!!!! Congratulations - you are gorgeous!!!! Love your positive energy ... you WILL achieve your goals!! :)

First and foremost, you are not alone. Next, you are vastly more strong than you give yourself credit for being. The emotional fortitude it requires to be honest about how you feel - even in an online forum - means you have the WILL and HONESTY you need to persevere and live a life of happiness. I have suffered from…
-
WOW! You are super ambitious nutritionally!!!! I admire that greatly - my strength is working out like crazy (not eating clean). :) I am a mother of 5 and I vividly remember the days when they were younger (now 16, 14, 12 and twins that are 8). Being a wife, a mom and a career woman is a carnival-style juggling act ... I…

Hello! Feel free to add me ... I'm getting back at this journey with vigor this year. :) Like you, I am a working wife and mom - we have five amazing little people - and juggling everything leaves me looking like a professional clown most days!!!! I am 5'8" and currently 234 down from my high of 247. My goal should…

I can COMPLETELY RELATE to your sentiment! My best friend and I often joke that we're shocked and dismayed when we work out and eat veggies at lunch, only to realize at dinner that we're still not Cindy Crawford. Congratulations on your progress thus far!!! Keep your chin up, keep making good decisions and be proud!!!! :)
