Congrats!

I have had mine for about 3 weeks now. I read online that when you exercise the Fitbit Charge HR needs to be at least two fingers higher from your wrist-hand meet. I also make sure mine is tighter when I am exercising. I have noticed when I am sweating I have to wipe down the inside to allow it to stay where it is at. I…

Which scale do you have that will work with Trendweight? Right now I just have a regular scale. It just does weight and it is accurate. The scale I used to have I'd get three different readings when I weighed myself. lol

Wow amazing job!

Thank you for the info and I just joined the group.

I wish I could help you because I am not a bright and early morning workout person. I manage to get to the gym between 8-9 in the morning. My friend said she started going to the gym around 4:30am and it took her a couple weeks to get used to it and now she has no problems. I do think she does get to bed before 9pm though.

Pinterest is a great place to get recipes and I recently discovered this website through my sister. http://mylovelylittlelunchbox.com/

That's crazy and I did read that it is deadly. A few months before I got diagnosed I had my eyes checked and needed glasses. I have never needed glasses. After I began my meds I didn't need them anymore.

I do need a food scale because in all the research I have done recently it said that you can't always get the correct amount even if you measure. I will admit I haven't been super strict lately because of my life. Married, 2 kids, and working on my bachelor's degree. Thanks for the info and I am going to check those…

I still have my thyroid; I just have hypothyroidism. I hit this plateau in 2009 after losing 80+lbs before I got pregnant with my youngest. I didn't lose any weight after giving birth and I began showing severe signs of hypothyroidism and was diagnosed a year and a half after. It's almost like my body just stops losing and…

My Endo talked to me when I first met with him in August. He said right now my dose is lower then what is needed for my weight but my levels are in the proper place when he bumped it up in August and he rechecked in November. He explained to me that if it is too high you can have problems losing just like when it is too…

I can always tell when something is wrong because I feel so drained all the time. I wish there was another option too. I never imagined taking pills all the time but luckily it has helped since I was diagnosed in July of 2011.

Thanks for the info. I might just need to search for a place to get that test done.

Right now I am having my blood drawn every so often because I began to see an Endo for it. He said that depending on my TSH levels he will adjust my Synthroid. I have had it increased three times now but during my first blood draw he tested to see if my immune system was still attacking my thyroid. That's basically the…

Thanks and yes I have. I actually began going to an endo this August because I wasn't happy with just going to my PCP. My endo increased my Synthroid and I just went to get labs drawn in November for my 3 month check up. I have a 6 month in May but I switched to generic in November but I have been at this weight way before…

Yes, I did this on a few different websites to figure out my macros. They have given me three different calories and 3 different macros totals. 2 of them were closer but I did look at a article on a website and it gave "basic" macros for body types and if you want fat loss/bulking/etc.

Wow, you look great before and after! Amazing job.......

I have done C25k on and off for awhile now. I didn't start it to go run a 5k though. I started because I have never been into running. I started over again this summer and ran outside instead of on a treadmill. I can't vouch for losing weight just by using the app but I did notice a difference in my legs. Back in 2007-08 I…

I have used baby powder before. I like the Skimmies idea. I might just have to get some!

What part of Kansas?!?

Missouri....Kansas City!

Big Mac Casserole......it was yummy!

I love pizza! I've made it at home a few times and I just buy the pizza dough in the cold section, sauce in a jar (not a can), add your fave toppings. Yummy!

Looks yummy!

THANK YOU! Board shorts unless you look like that above!

Your a normal person! Sometimes I just want to sit around and do nothing all day. I eat like crap and I love my sweets. I make myself workout when I don't want to! I think we all go through this and sometimes we just have to push ourselves! Oh and I've tried to do Atkins or not eat sweets and chips AND I crave it even…

Way to go!
