If you're on the right dosage of thyroid replacement hormones, you'll lose weight. (I am losing!) It might be slow and you may have to work harder, but it'll come off. Hypothyroidism messes with your metabolism big time, so you have to work to increase it. Increase it by starting with eating the correct number of calories.…

There are sparkling waters that have natural flavor (cherry, lime, etc) that are not full of crap (like aspartame). You have to read the ingredients though to make sure it's just water and natural flavor. My favorite is cherry made by Vintage Seltzer. http://www.vintageseltzer.com/ Ingredients are carbonated water and…

What did you use to make this graph?

Hooray for NC! Welcome to our state and MFP!

Yes! If my macros are off at the end of the day... I drink a scoop of protein powder mixed with water for my evening snack (or right after my workout).

You can ask, but general rule of thumb is 4oz is about the size of the palm of your hand, 6oz is to first knuckle line and 8 oz is to second knuckle line.

I love it! Congrats on your amazing progress!

Delicious Protein by Giant Sports (Cookies and Cream) is my new favorite. It's so tasty!

The Goonies! "If you hit the wrong note, we'll all be flat."

Supposedly vs supposably... unless you are Joey on Friends, it's not okay.

I'm super paranoid about getting sick from raw eggs (although the chances are low), so I don't have this problem! My problem is after the baking is done!

Friend request sent! Good luck!

Are those the same plaid shorts?! You look awesome!

Wow! What a difference! You look great!

Protein will help keep you full longer! Can you take a protein shake/smoothie with you into work?

Buy it! I got one from Target for around $24 and it came with a DVD on recommended uses. Edited to add... I want a RUMBLE ROLLER!!!

How about losing 35lbs?!

Everything in my closet. Not even kidding... I can't wait to be able to go into a dressing room and not be disappointed that everything I put on makes me look like I'm carrying around a spare tire. THAT will be awesome!

Amazing! Amazing! AMAZING!

Motion is lotion! (That's what my trainer says when I'm sore!)

Breakfast: 8am Snack: 10am Lunch: 12pm Snack: 3pm Dinner: 6pm Snack: 9pm Unless it's gym day (where I workout from 6-7 and get home at 730pm), then I have a smoothie or something around 8pm.

I was drinking a LOT of diet soda. I was drinking that instead of water, which is what I should have been drinking. It also made me crave sweet things. The artificial sweeteners trick your brain into thinking you're getting something sweet and the sugar never shows up, which makes your body crave more food to meet that…

Unless you ate 3500 extra calories each day in addition to your BMR, it's probably just water weight... some of those foods are really high is sodium. I get discouraged, we all do... but jump back on board and you'll be losing again in no time!

I know that they focus on weights for 30 and cardio for 30. Just in case though, I'm setting up the big girl gym in my garage. I have the bars and weights... just need the rack! :)
