THIS....IS.....FABULOUS! I don't know you, but I'm so proud of you!

Congratulations! You are an inspiration!

AMAZING! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! That is so incredible!

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis last week and have started taking dessicated thyroid. Just wanted to re-post in here in case a few of you were still having the same issues.

Thank you everyone for responding! I found an amazing osteopath that actually diagnosed me with Hashimoto's. He said the right side of my thyroid gland is actually quite swollen. I'm SO relieved to have a diagnosis and I can't wait to feel better!!!

Before (12/2009): A month after my daughter was born. 206 lbs After (3/2012): 160 lbs :)

At least you are raising a child that will be sensitive to others' feelings and is capable of empathy.... NOT like the guys you were speaking of.

I had no idea such a place existed. VERY cool!

I remember an episode of "What Not To Wear" saying that pear shapes should wear trouser cut jeans that come straight down from the widest part of the hips... or boot cut jeans.

I see a LOT of difference! Looking really good!

We pear shapes always lose in our lower halves LAST, unfortunately. Your body is going to burn fat where it was last deposited. Eventually, it WILL burn the fat in your problem areas, so DON'T GIVE UP! And definitely measure yourself! I've been stuck at a weight plateau for 6 months, but the inches are coming off, which…

That's me!!! I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and gained 90lbs with my pregnancy. 30 of it I lost the first week after she was born, so I don't even count that. I carry all of my weight below my waist and it has been a loooong road, but the inches keep dropping. I'm feeling so good about how far I've come that I'm not…

AMAZING JOB!

Yes, ma'am! I get up at 5am because that is the only time I can fit in my workout at the gym. And I've never been a morning person. :)

THANK YOU! It has taken a loooooooooong time, but little by little, I'm getting there.

Wow! I didn't know I actually looked YOUNGER, too! Thank you guys for the support!

Holy disappearing waistline! Fantastic job!!!!

Congratulations! AMAZING! You should be very proud of what you've accomplished!

YOU HAVE TO EAT MORE!!!!! Trust me, I have been there and back and you will eventually stop losing and hit a plateau (not to mention this is dangerous because you may end up extremely malnourished). This is because your metabolism will basically shut off and will stop burning fat. The human body is constantly trying to…

Aren't you just as bad as those of us with a lot of peeves if you find us annoying, too? And BTW, I am at the gym at 5am and people still irritate me.

People who don't wipe down their equipment, people who clank/drop the weights on the machines, people who don't adhere to the 1 machine buffer zone whenever possible, people who grunt LOUDLY, and people who try to strike up a conversation. I hate to be a wench but I'm there at 5am to work out and be on my way. I don't want…

Sabri- yeah, I absolutely tried to do my normal 30 min. I got to about 15 and then switched back to the elliptical. When I go again tomorrow I will try warming up with the elliptical and then finishing with the AMT, since I think I went at it too fast Monday and Wednesday. Thanks for your help!

I've never been a morning person, either, but I've gotten to the point where I'm just sucking it up and going early before work. I have someone to watch my daughter after work, but I would rather spend that time with my daughter. Especially with the weather getting nicer, I hate to waste that time indoors at the gym. So my…

I'm in the EXACT same boat and I'm about to ask my doctor if maybe my thyroid is to blame.

IDK, but when you find out, let me know, 'cause I've been stuck at the same weight for about 6 months and I'm working my *kitten* off!
