Hi! I've haven't been on here for quite some time. I would suggest, because you're breastfeeding, that you eat less and concentrate on healthy foods and make time to exercise of course! Congratulations on your your new baby! Good Luck!

It's so frustrating! But nice to know I'm not alone. I'll be 51 this year and will celebrate my second anniversary of being a non smoker in March!! I've been diagnosed with thyroid disease and I've gained 25 pounds in the last couple of years. It's all I can to hold it there. I did loose a couple of pounds last spring but…

:sick: Soar throat....Body Aches. Stay home....Do not go to the gym.

X smoker of 35 years. 17 months smoke free!!!! All I can say is be strong. Get lots of carrots, celery and whatever else you might want to put in your mouth that's NOT a cigarette! Try to keep it healthy. It's tough but you're tougher!!!! Get control of your life!!!! You can do it!!!!

:grumble: Good grief.....High school all over again. Some people just never grow up and develop lives of their own.

A size 7!!! Good one!

9tattoos.......Smoke FREE! That's GREAT!!!! Keep up the good work. You might try visiting with a personal trainer. Maybe they can mix things up a bit. p.s. I'm smoke free for 1 year as March 8th!

I've got to say that this site has been extremely helpful for me! Everyone on it is positives and full of helpful suggestions. And I love the food diary! I was very surpised to see how all those calories add up everyday. :ohwell: All of it is just great! The weight is coming off slowly but surley and I'm bet it can help…

Oh ya! Just gotta love it. If it were 2 years ago and I was working this hard then to loose a few pounds I'd have reached my goal already! :laugh:

I'm not sure but I think it's a DVD from Jillian Michaels the trainer on Biggest Looser. I read so many good things about it I had to give a try. I hope it gets here tomorrow!

You can do Bridges with your heels on a balance ball. Squeeze and lift...Squeeze and lift...

Never heard of it so I looked it up. Sounds YUMMY! And it's organic so it's got to be good for you!:tongue:

Hmmmm.....anyone know why my ticker showed up twice? What did I do??????

Good golly!!!! I've never worked so hard to lose 3 lbs. But it's 3 lbs. less to pack around! YAY!!! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Calorie Counter

30#s in 7 weeks. WOW! I'm sure someone here can give you some helpful suggestions. (not me) I just want to say that I'm impressed with your dedication! Keep it up.

I had to tell my phone that it was okay to change time zone.

I feel your pain! I've NEVER had to work so hard to loose weight. Something to due with our age? I Hate It! Sure makes me appreciate my youth now that it's gone. lol:cry: Sounds like you've been working really hard. You're loosing inches! That's great!!!! Sometimes the scale doesn't know it all. I found out that I have…

Holy cow! I see so many big numbers lost! You guys are great. I'm still struggling but did manage to drop one pound. Working out 5 days a week. Trying to make my time at the gym more intense with more calorie burn. Eating right and eating less. Work Work Work!!! Kudos to all of you for hard work and determination! :happy:

I was diagnosed a year ago with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and have been trying to hold off the weight. I was hoping I would lose some after I started my meds but (no such luck) instead I GAINED 15 lbs. in all. I started working out and that held off any more weight gain but I haven't lost anything yet. I only just started to…

Yep....Forget about yesterday and last week. Just get back on your program cause today is going to be better. :wink: Hang in there!

Hello Everyone......Nothing new to report on my weigh in. Oh well.....Maybe next week.:indifferent: I've really bumped up my work out to burn around 600 on my cardio days. I feel good! Do you notice when you dine out that you are way puffy later on and the next day too. That's gotta be all the sodium, right? Keep on…

Holt Moly! That's Crazy Cool! Good for you!!!! My husband thinks hot. I think she's a damn determined lady!

WOW! Way To Go! If I could that I'd almost be done! lol:laugh: Keep up the good work.

PS.....Yes I'm under a Dr.'s care for my Thyroid. And HRT's from my GYN. The combination has just really thrown my system into a whirl and I haven't been able to get things going.

I don't miss smoking at ALL! Should have quit long ago! It's been tough but I'm not giving up. I've been taking a winter ski conditioning class. It's pretty versatile. Arms Legs Core. But it's over now. I work out on my own 5 days a week. Cardio 30 mins. and strength training 30 mins. One day arms and core. Next day legs…

Dead Metabolism!!!!! My story; I've been at a relatively healthy weight most of my life. Last year I QUIT SMOKING! Gained a little. 6lbs! (I knew I would) all was well for about a month. Then all of a sudden my hormones went crazy and my Thyroid decided to take a dump and my metabolism has all but SHUT DOWN. And I'm now 15…

I'm almost 50 and I know exactly what you mean! My goal is 15 lbs. Is that too many to join your group? If it's not too much I'd like to get in on this. What a great idea. Look my best at 125lbs 1987. hahaha I'm at 150lbs. I feel best around 135lbs.

I've been reading many many stories posted here. I can't help but feel like I've come to the right place! :smile: Thanks for making me feel welcome and right at home. My goal is within reach! I can do this! Right? Right!

I just found this site. I like the way you can keep track of everything! And it counts the calories for you! YEA! I'm almost 50 and don't like what's happening to my body! I have a Thyroid issue (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) I am Hypothyroid. That along with the hormonal changes from peri-menopause are causing me great…
