If you haven't had the chance to shop yet we need to know what you have to work with.

I'm no expert and I've started this over and over (but each time I've lost). When I have the best success is when my calories aren't set too low. I've tried 1,200 a day and suffered, I lost for a bit but not really that long. Usually because I'm way to hungry all the time to stick with it. I've upped my calories to around…

That makes sense and like I said when I get closer I'm sure I will need to be a lot more accurate. Like I posted above I'm very guilty of eyeballing portions. But I really like the post and I know at some point I will have to be more accurate, or I'm assuming so. At that point this information will come in very handy. I…

I understand wanting to be as accurate as possible. But I do have to agree with snowflake930 I prefer cups for most of my measurements. I realize it might not be the most accurate but I really don't want to take the time to weigh everything. In fact most of the time I don't measure them except eyeball them. I tend to…

I would love to be added as well. I have been on this site for years but I keep falling off. I'm back again and would like to lose about 50 pounds more. I'm always willing to do my best to support, I love getting support as well as information. I also like to watch others food diary. My biggest weakness is alcohol, I love…

I just started again as well. I would love the support and encouragement.

Thank you all for the ideas. Some of them are ones I have used in the past but most are brand new ideas. I love hearing about everyone's ideas. Usually I find some ideas I've never thought of.

I'm also restarting. I weigh in officially on Monday morning. I would also love the support. We can do this!

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about 6 months ago, It explains a lot but not everything for me. I'm still struggling with remembering to take my medication, but I'm working on it. I would also like to lose about 50 lbs.

I try to only weigh in once a week, sometimes I sneak a peak in the middle of the week. But I log every Wednesday, but to be fair I just started again.

I used Shakeology for about 3 months a year or so ago. I only tried it because a couple of friends insisted it was amazing, gave them energy, helped them lose weight etc. So I gave it a try and I believe I gave it a very fair chance. I had at least 1 shake a day and to be honest found some that I thought were very tasty.…

Last week I found Dragon Fruit. I had never heard of it but I really liked it.

Thank you all for the tips and friend request. I was a bit disappointed this morning when I weighed in and hadn't lost anything this week. But on a bright note I hadn't gained and I drank WAY too much during the week :(. I will do my best to stay patient and not panic at any gain. I'm ready for this new lifestyle.

Have you tried eating at a higher daily calorie goal? I also have Hypothyroidism and I can't imagine eating at that low. I had mine at about 1300-1500 and was losing about 4 pounds a week. Today I upped it to 1740 and will try to stay close to that for a couple of weeks and see what happens. I'm hoping I can still lose a…

I just changed mine to just over 1700, It says .5 pound a week. Going to see how this goes for a couple weeks.

1510 for me.

This helps a lot. So for now from my home page there isn't a quick link? And How did you figure out were to go so quickly? Impressive and Thank You!

I have also started and then slipped back, started again and slipped etc. Its frustrating and I wonder if I will ever get this figured out. There is a lot of support on here, but it is still very difficult. I would love to have you add me, maybe we can motivate each other. I'm always looking for any new ideas and wisdom.…

I have also been on here for awhile, but have just started again. Hope you are recovering well. I am always looking for motivation and help, feel free to add me as well.

I have Hypothyroidism and I am also on Levothyroxine. My problem is remembering to take it when I'm supposed to. To be honest I have only known about this for a short time. And I just started trying to lose again, so I don't really know how it has affected my weight loss. I saw this post and was hoping to learn some new…

You can make scrambled eggs, spinach, cheese in the microwave. Add stuff like peppers, onions etc. I had this for breakfast with 2 corn tortillas (which I heated in the oven but I bet there is a way to do that in the microwave too). I Look forward to reading other ideas.

Yum... is sounds really good. Thanks for sharing

This sounds really good, and I have everything. Now for the Avocados to ripen.

Pumpkin sounds good, Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks, I will look at those.

Nope, that wasn't him. But I would have helped him as well. LOL

I would ask to meet her German Shepherd. One of my favorite dogs. Any puppies soon? LOL

Thankfully I'm one of those people that prefers Bud light or Michelob Ultra (my favorite). I don't need the more expensive beer, in fact I prefer a beer I don't have to chew. That is more my Husbands thing, and he doesn't have to lose any weight. Also, I could never give up food for alcohol. I NEED Food. If I don't have…

They can say what they want. I do come from a long line of alcoholics. I don't believe I am, but to some people I might be. I can do without but I like the taste. I don't smoke, I prefer beer and I don't plan to give it up completely. My main concern is trying to lose weight, so I'm looking for any tips. Like I have read…
