I don't feel so bad now. I had cracked crab last night (fresh) and had extra sour baguette slices. Back today to eating better. Good idea to have an occasional day off and not kick myself too much for it.

Swim class. Hide the veges in the meat (meat loaf with lots of veges). My son did not like meat....he ate chicken fried rice and sneak veges in there too! Good luck.

I realized a long time ago I can't blame my weight on my thyroid or other health problems. It is a combination of health problems, stress and the HAND TO MOUTH DISEASE.

Eat a BIG salad at dinner (dressing on the side). order something that is baked or broiled, either chicken or fish. Too full for anything else. You will be fine. Remember this is a forever eating change for you and you want to go out! Enjoy!

Remember muscle weighs more. So you may be building muscle but you probably are loosing inches. I tried gluten free and it made me sick...g.i. problems. try healthy snacks when you are hungry. Like an orange, a few prunes, 4 almonds, or such. Good luck.

Thanks, yes, interesting. Right now am loosing weight with MFP suggestions, but if I stop will try increasing calories. I have found I am eating more protein then they recommend. I snack on yogurt and stuff like that. Fills me up.

I had to get rid of a 'friend' who was the same as yours. another 'friend' i just ignored. I feel if I wanted my mom in my kitchen I could have a picture of her sitting here to whine at me and I really didn't need anyone continuing with that stuff. Once I decided to do it for myself and leave that baggage behind and move…

I am taking synthroid and loosing weight when I follow the MFP suggestions on calorie intake. Only 3 lb. loss so far, but it is working. I think many people run into problems when they do not eat all of the calories recommended and try to reduce the caloric intake too much. This needs to be a life change habit in eating,…

Do not Reward Yourself with Food You are not a Dog! I learned that from someone at MFP

I have a chronic health problem that includes fatigue. I do what I can. I walk the dog every day. I do light swim. Then I lay down and rest or sleep. Exercise does not make me feel better, but I do it anyway. Have you been checked for sleep apnea? That could be part of your problem or there could be another medical problem…

It happened to me too. I had to take the battery out of the car at one point. He kept speeding. He got a few tickets. He got a ticket for being in the commute lane with no passengers (he was in a hurry). He got a ticket for cutting in front of a cop from an exit lane only. He finally stopped driving fast when he hit a…

I don't, but the problem with these things is you don't know the dose and it can vary from bottle to bottle. Also, if you have an autoimmune problem you should not take anything that boosts your immune system. It depends on the type of thyroid problem or other medical problem that you have. Hashimoto's is autoimmune, yes?

I had a cup of tea (no sugar) then went to work for a while in the yard. Urge to eat gone. Finished a mystery and started a new book. Logged in and check for support.

Ah, that's the problem. When you don't eat breakfast you do not loose weight. Your body goes into a starvation mode and it says wait keep the fat we(your cells) may need it. EAT breakfast. How about toast with low fat cottage cheese on it. or plain oatmeal. You will start loosing again. Muscle weighs more then fat. Are you…

I tried two times only to use pills i.e. two days. Both were a disaster. I lost weight with weight watchers years ago, but can not stand the meetings. I gained it back when I was ill so......Now just following the calorie counting in MFP and continue to walk my dog. I can not exercise a lot due to health problems. Pills…

I'm not sure how tall you are or how much you want to weigh. What is the desired weight for your height? Skin and bones is not great. Allow yourself some success at what you have done and the weight you have maintained. You need to start feeling good about your life and yourself...do something nice for just you that does…

Raining in San Francisco, Ca and in the mid 50's probably. I'm going out for a walk in the rain with the dog...Keep up my exercise and the dog's too. I have been shopping and walking rather then eating too much.

ay, well no, but my brother lives in Val-de-Montes, Quebec and my nephews are in Toronto and Meaford, Ontario and my sister-in-law is also in Meaford. Does that count? I go every two years and love to visit! I say wash room all of the time and people correct me....oh well, welcome

don't play games. Arrive when you agreed.

thanks for the support

Yes, I gained weigh toot!. I was hyper thyroid (slightly) for the previous 5-6 years...over productive nodules on thyroid. They watched and I waited and stalled. Not wanting radio active iodine. then found out before the radio active treatment that I was allergic to it. Tried anti thyroid meds. Has surgery 1 month ago to…

I have found that doctors who are not specialists can not handle thyroid problems. I encourage you go see an endocrinologist. I was hypothyroid for 40 years and took meds and then became slightly hyperthyroid for 5 years and just had surgery to remove 1/2 and now hypo again! I have had many experiences over the years and…

my doc. said the same thing. synthroid is best

Had 1/2 of my thyroid out a month ago and still finding the right dose of meds. Not easy. At least I'm not hungry all of the time and in pain. I seem to be able to loose a bit even with my thyroid levels low. How much is yet to be seen. Monthly to M.D. for medication tweaking and hopefully a bit of weight loss also. I…

Just learning how to eat foods you like and not too much of it is the key I think, not the calories. Recent studies even showed that loosing more at first was better then the slow, but I think the slow is still better as I am training myself to eat for food needs, not for other stuff. Good luck! do what you feel is best…

I was going to put a picture of my dog, but I realized I need to see myself as I am.....anyway I decided no picture......Need to think better of myself first

I don't want my picture taken. If I don't see it then it might not be me really. EEK!

me too!
