Clean eating to me means not eating junk food.

congrats!

This is like beating a dead horse, but....MFP is set up with a calorie deficit. You could follow the plan and not excercise and still loose weight. If it is set for a 500 cal deficit and you go excercise off 500 cal you are now at a 1000 calorie deficit. Get it? So you eat back 500 cal that you burned excercising to make…

Wow, I wish I had energy like that. For me hypothyroid means NO energy!

Before I started medication and when I felt my absolute worst I didn't want to eat at all. I was eating less than my 2 year old and still gaining weight. So I guess for some people yeah it can.

Are you following the P90X meal guide? I know for me, I got way better results when I followed that.

Ok, so I checked out the bodyrocktv. site. Ummm, yeah it's very hard to get past the way the videos are shot. I'm sure the actual workouts are great but all I seem to see is a video shrine to this lady's body. Maybe I'm missing something. Any other HIIT dvd recommenations out there?

Thanks for the suggestions!! I'll be sure to check those out. I've heard good things about Turbo Fire too. Maybe that could be my Christmas present.:smile:

Maybe it's just her strange way of being friendly?

I've started chewing gum a lot more. Most days the sweet flavor of the gum is enough to kill a craving, not all days unfortunately. So on those days, I have just a few bites of something sweet instead of a huge plate or bowl of it.

Ok, I really don't mean for this to sound mean, at all! I have noticed for myself that when I go to bed that late that I just want to sleep all day! So my fix for me was to go to bed at a reasonable hour and then I actually felt like getting up the next day. I am one of those people who actually NEEDS 9-10 hours a night or…

Sometimes in the first few weeks of a new routine you can gain weight. For me at least by the third or fourth week those pounds plus a few will come right off.

This is great advice! I went for 2 years after baby #2 was born feeling like crap! I kept telling my doctor that something is worng with me and he kept saying, well being a new mom is hard. Yeah. He appologized profusely when he realized it was my thyroid all along.

I set mine as sedentary for days when we read books and fold laundry. BUT on heavy cleaning days, park days, gardening day etc., I log that in as excercise. So I'm sure it evens out.

I have a question for everyone. My pharmacy recently changed the brand my thyroid medicine is. I noticed within a week that my hair is falling out and I'm tired again. Is it possible that the brand matters? I'm on the exact same dosage.

Oreos. I gave up Oreo cookies. Ok, fine I didn't but I only have one or two instead of 6 or 8.

I use this calculator. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

THIS^^^^ I had no progress for about 3 months. I changed my settings to loose 1lb a week and I upped my excercise intensity a little and bam.! I lost 2 lbs last week!!! Try it it works :happy:

I lost 2 lbs last week!!!!! I LOVE this workout!

I'm a mommy and I LOVE it! :) couldn't ask for a better job.

Good for you for deciding to make a change. Good luck on your journey :)

^^^^This It's hard to convince yourself not to drink it when it's right in the other room. So don't buy any. When you do decide to splurge only buy one can, don't buy a whole 12 pack. I used to drink Mt. Dew like water and I am fine without but if I buy a 12 pack I'll drink it in 2-3 days. So, I don't buy it anymore. Now…

I LOVE turbo jam! It is really fun and it makes you want to go back and do it again. The cardio party workout is great it gives you an awesome cardio workout. The turbo sculpt will make you majorly sore in the thighs and buns. I'm sure you can't go wrong with either one. Good Luck :)

I really like Allyson as an instructor so I might have to try some of the ones you listed. Thanks :) I've done Kelcy's tight buns and killer legs and didn't find it to be challenging at all. Her queing style was good though.

I'm 5'8.5" have a medium frame and my goal is 155 which is a size 6 for me. Right now however I'm at 172 and after baby #5 I'd be thrilled with 165.

nobody??

Awesome!

I've had 2 c-sections and 5 babies. You can definitely get rid of it without surgery. The catch, it takes WORK. You have to pu the effort in. Perhaps you friend is the kind that looks for the quick fix? If you want great long lasting results without surgery, eat right excercise and loose the weight.

It's Mc Donalds. Who in thier right mind eats there because it's healthy? I feed my children healthy food everyday. They are healthy and active and happy. Now and then when they are hungry and we aren't at home I'll stop and get them a hamburger. Is it going to kill them no. It's the people who feed thier kids this crap…
