Honestly as for tips, these are things that have helped me: 1. Take medication regularly and get checked to make sure levels stay where they should 2. Exercise, it makes me feel better and helps boost a slowed metabolism (HIIT, Running, Weights) 3. Eat regularly, I eat 6 meals a day, and never skip breakfast 4. I eat a lot…

I guess I would consider myself a success in the making! I was diagnosed hypothyroid 12 yrs ago and this past year I finally feel in control. SW: 234 (highest preggo weight 280) CW 180ish give or take a couple, height 5'9". There are some pictures in my profile if you choose to look

Awesome, you have done so great, congrats and keep up the good work.

I love being tall, and its nice to see other tall success stories, here's mine from earlier this summer, I have bit to go yet! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1038699-almost-1year-but-couldn-t-wait

1800 doesn't seem like to much to me but maybe that's because I have been eating 1900-2200 calories a day up to 3000 and losing weight with max workouts of 30ish minutes 5-7 days a week

Wow, good job, and I would have to agree with you on pregnancy weight gain, I blamed my back ache and sore knees on my 1st baby but really when you gain 60lbs and are 280 lbs those areas will hurt.

Thank you all very much

Awe :smile:

Awesome, definitely have to start upping the weight being moved

I was wearing a 12 in women's and now am in a 11 and I am hoping for them to shrink a little more so I can go to any store I want to buy shoes, not just the tall girl stores

You girls look great!

<<<<< Here is a current before and during pic But Im 5'9", started around 234ish and now am 187, not sure where I will end up but my weight is still going down. It has taken me 8months so far but worth everyday. I eat 1900-2200 calories a day, lift weights and run.

I'm 187 and 5'9" as well and am size 14/32

I have been on synthroid for 12 yrs. In those 12 yrs I've gained and lost and gained and lost, had some kids. But in the last 8 months by choosing healthier foods (about 1900-2100 calories worth) and moving a minimum of 30 mins a day have lost 43lbs, I think as long as your meds are stable and you figure out what will work…

My old boss asked me, "are you going on a trip?" And I replied, " not that I know of, why?" And he said "most people only loss weight when they are going on a holiday somewhere warm" and I just laughed and said nope just sick of me sick and tired

I just made this and love it, my one kid loved it and the other 2 wouldn't try it, maybe caught them on the wrong day

Amazing and Happy Birthday

Love it!

Great job, nice way to start the new year

I put them in my morning smoothie, they are a great source of fibre, and full of antioxidants.

Im a stay at home mom with a 4,3 and 1 year old, and my husband works away

Thank you guys, I will definitely check all of those out. I do wish that the gym was an option for me but at this point it is not, so I will have to make due

I drink tea, the flavour sometimes helps and I get to sip and enjoy it

Your sodium intake is fairly high in my opinion, eat less processes food, but more calories.

Eating more often, 5-6 times a day and walking/running. Oh and sleep, now that my youngest is sleeping better.

Lift and eat

Great change!

I looked at your diary, if you are counting everything you are eating, I would say you need to up your calorie intake a bit. When I upped my calorie intake to around 2000 calories and ate at regular intervals my cravings to binge became less frequent

I have a Norditrack incline trainer and I love it, I bought it on sale 3 years ago and have used it at least 3-5days a week since. Yes they could be a little pricey but it fits well in my living room (it is shorter then a regular treadmill) and it is great for training for Trail runs since it has a large incline. P.S when…
