Hi all. 6 weeks PP with a 3 year old. I too lost weight super easy with my first (30 lbs but it took a year to lose the last 10) and am hoping to kick my butt early enough to lose it faster this time around. I gained about 45 lbs and have lost 23 from swelling going down. I have about 22 lbs left to lose and am trying to…

6 weeks postpartum here and on my 2nd week of herbalife. I dropped 5 lbs in my first week and am hoping to lose 20 in the next 2 months. I have a total of about 45 lbs to lose before I'm considered healthy, but 20 before I'm at my prepregnancy weight. I've been doing the Lindsey Brin DVD's and walking 5 days /week. I feel…

Hi all - This is me! Started out at 158-160 with my first son, ended at 195 on his due date. Started this pregnancy at 172 and so far am at 193 but fluctuating like CRAZY. I've been between 188 and 193 for the last 4 weeks. 187 was my goal weight for the pregnancy, so I'm pretty down about this. I am having another boy…

Started it yesterday. I do have an autoimmune disease and health reason for doing this. It is very important for people with autoimmune diseases or other chronic diseases to remove from your diet anything that would cause inflammation and further increase your body's "response" to itself. Also, important to note that…

That's fascinating. Please do update when it gets published. I'm jealous. I've always wanted to do a total body scan (not hypochondriac, just thought it would be incredible to see how your body functions).

Starting tomorrow I'm taking Selenium, Vitamin E, Zinc, Copper, Vitamin D and Calcium Citrate. I'm hoping that the combo of these will reduce my dependency on Synthroid and Liothyronine (hoping to drop the Liothyronine altogether). I currently take Vitamin D and Vitamin C. As for carbs, I say do what works for you. I have…

This is awesome. I definitely feel my best at around .75-1.0, any higher and I am a wreck!

The first time I lost a lot of weight (30 lbs), my meds increased (88mcg to 100mcg). This time around (nearly 20 lbs down), my meds decreased twice (first time 0.16, second time 0.34 TSH levels) with seriously increased energy for a very short time and TSH is now slowly creeping up again (1.43). My doc just added Cytomel…

I'd love to be added to this as well!

I am right there with you! I am currently a 36DDD. At my best weight (115 lbs) I was a 36C, before getting pregnant I was a 36D/DD, then went up to a 36J and now back down to triple D. I want my C cup back!!! I feel like I overall look heavier because of my boobs even though I'm less than 5 pounds overweight. I lost 30 lbs…

1/1-157.4 lbs 1/8-155.4 lbs 1/15-157.8 lbs 1/22-154.8 lbs Total loss: 2.6 lbs, but I'm back in the loss category. Woohoo!

I didn't use coconut oil before each meal, but I took it in pill form at night before bed. I have a thyroid disease and had inside scoop that it could help your metabolism and actually had great success with it. I'm currently on a plan requiring fish oil vs. coconut oil, so I'm foregoing it through this program, but will…

Count me in! I always do at least one 4 mile run on the weekends, so I'll just do this instead.

Hashi's here, too. 10 years and goin' strong. Saw someone earlier post (on another thread) something about young people being diagnosed with thyroid earlier being unlikely, well I was diagnosed at 19. Awesome. Can someone add me to that group? I can't find it here either.

So I know you only have a 5 meal plan, but I think the first thing I would do is weigh how much money I'm spending in food off-campus vs. upgrading the meal plan. Does your college allow you to upgrade it mid-semester? There is nothing wrong with using the rec center for cardio. Just the fact that you are getting that…

1/1 157.4 1/8 155.4 1/15 157.8 (What?) This week I have gained somewhere between 3 and 4 lbs (weighed in at 154.8 on Friday and didn't weigh myself after that until Sunday when the scale started going up). Water intake is between 9-12 glasses/day, under my calorie goals for the week still, no idea what's up, but I'm taking…

1/1 157.4 1/8 155.4 2 lbs down. I don't expect that to continue, but it sure was nice to see! :)

Me too. I know there are people that think it's unhealthy, but it really helps me stay focused.

Love it! I just added myself to it. I have a spreadsheet of my own that I use to track my losses and it helps so much to keep me accountable. One quick question - are we weighing in on the 8th? I was a little confused by the first column that says 1/8-1/15. Does that just mean you can weigh in any time during that time…

So my update is that after 3 days, I am almost back to 5 lbs. down (close to 3 lbs lost since Monday) and losing. I'm hoping that since I've been dilligent in both exercise and eating for the last several weeks and this gain came from zero cause that I'll be back "on track", which is another 2-3 lbs. down from where I am…

Oh my gosh serious issues this month and I can't figure out what is up. September I lost 5 lbs. I got really sick the last week of Sept. and just let that week go, but didn't gain or lose. I was down another 2 lbs. this month until last Thursday when all of a sudden I started gaining like crazy. As of Thursday I had gained…

You can do it! I thought the same thing going over, but I still lost weight. See if you can make it up in some serious work out sessions this last week. I bet you'll lose more than you think. Maybe not 3 lbs., but who knows? You've got this!

Posting today because I weigh in on Thursdays. I played competitive volleyball for the first time since HS last night and while I am SUPER sore (and slightly bruised), I am down a full 5 lbs. as of today for September. Since my goal was 6 and I have 5 more days, I'm thinking it is definitely doable. Either way, over 5 lbs.…

Ok - admitted self-praise post. Feel free to scroll past, but I just have to tell someone! I'm so proud of myself for the past 3 weeks! I'm down a little over 3 pounds in 3 weeks (3.6 lbs exactly - and my goal was 1.2 lbs/week!), which makes me comfortable that I can reach my goal for September of 6 lbs. (although that…

I did not have a good food week, but I still have it all written down regardless. I am going to probably be about 1000 calories over for the week mostly due to eating out and not being able to play volleyball on Wednesday for that fourth workout (so down 1 workout for the week). Plus I'm going to a baseball game tomorrow,…

Congratulations!!! WAY to go!!!
