Never give up, you're a fighter! I can't wait to read more about your progress in the following months. You're a model and inspiration…

Something that helped me at the beginning was to make small changes every week. I first tackled the impossible one, which was exercising daily for me. Once i conquered that one, i started making other changes. So i started by going to the gym to do a basic routine every day for fifteen days. Meanwhile, i got an appointment…

Cardio has helped a lot from the beginning of my battle. Now i have a nice lower heart rate,my stamina has improved, i don't get short of breath when climbing stairs and i can finally run to catch that bus. Not to mention that i don't get asthma attacks anymore! Overdoing cardio is pointless, but half an hour of cardio…

I'm on your same boat! I have 4 kilos to lose yet. I'm sending you a friends request :)

Get rid of that red bull, seriously! Feel free to add me if you like! Also, don't overtrain, and if you do, eat accordingly,ok? :) best of luck!

I had to lose weight due to health issues, i was told i would die young since my lab tests were so terrible. I lost 90 lbs already,and this inspired my husband to lose some weight as well. He wants to keep going and reach a normal range weight. He's doing lots of progress! And i enjoy seeing his NSVs every month. :)

Wow you say you still have weight to lose? You already look great!!! I am 8 pounds away from my goal and i don't half as look as good as you do (the way the fat distributes along my body sucks! Lol) Seriously you look great!! I know what you mean about looking different from the side, but really, you look great. Enjoy the…

Congratulations! I was told i was going to die young as well, and that's what gave me the "mind click" i needed. you've always been beautiful but now you're glowing girl!!! Well done! I bet you feel so healthy now! :D

I'll wear a bikini for the first time in my life! ;D but that will havryo wait until summer. But hey, that means i get more time to get toned! And I'll buy more clothes, I need a new wardrobe! And the last celebration will have to wait until I can afford it. i want to run a disney marathon but that will be a huge…

-Nothing processed: no sauces, no ketchhup, no mayonnaise, no bbq sauce. The only sauce I buy is soy sauce and I use it in minimal quantities, since it's either loaded with salt or sugar ( at least Kikkoman brand) -I never skip eating proteins on my strenght training days, but I go meatless once a week. - I only eat…

This. That said,some brands are selling pants adapted to body shape (levi's for example). I bet there are cheaper options,but they're designed to fit your curves in a nicer way without being too tight on the waist or too loose if your bum is generous. Do some research and i bet you'll find something that suits your style.…

What matters is not what number on the scale you are on right now,but the weight difference both scales show. Still, you're on the roght path and it's just a matter of time until you reach your goals. Everyone fighting this battle has had ups and lows. Cheer up and keep going! You can do this! Remember to take measutements…

Argh so is mine!!! My inner tighs are saggy as wellbut I wish my arms were like yours! Mine are just as toned but I have my bat wings, as I call them Congratulations!!! The hard work paid off!!! :)
-
I'm starting to get embarassed! But that's because I'm seeing a lot of people I haven't seen inages, and they truly are amazed when they see me. Most of them (if not all) have never seen me at my lowest weighht ever so they don't know my true body size at a reasonable weight. But hey, I'm amazed myself so I can't blame…

I have over exerted myself in the past and when that happened I felt exhausted for two days. I had a good night sleep and I woke up more relaxed but I still felt I had been ran over by a train. I stayed at home and rested for three days and I was fine to restart my routine as always. Yours sound like you had an infection…

Think that at least your parents are still alive. Think that your dad needs you healthy to look after him,and think that in a stressful situation you need to eat better (don't count any calories, just eat until you're full and eat healthy and lean) than ever. When I'm under stress I have a hard time reminding myself to…

Be careful,sometimes we measure success in relation to pants size and just because our old pants are still not falling off our hips we think we're not making progress... But the truth is we should already be wearing a smaller pants size! So every few pounds you lose go and try on a smaller pants size (make it always the…

When my lower belly pouch was huge I used to measure my hips aligned with the extra pounds in the pouch. It wasn't my true hip line but it was the widest part of my body. Just a bit higher than the widest part of my hips, but the meeasurement was more accurate. I used to take meaurements of the widest part of the hips as…

I go up and down in chunks (and I'm consistent!). The true weightloss only shows right after my period is gone every month, then I go up and down in 2 pounds chunks. I had a consistent weightloss at the beginning but this year I can't seem to get off the tallest weightloss rollercoaster, and I don't lose more than 3 pounds…

Unfortunately we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Spain, (i say that because I hate the fact that we have to wait until December to start decorating home, and I love decorations so much!) but it's one celebration less to worry about in relation to my battle with food XD I plan to indulge on Christmas Eve and stick to…

I'd like to lose 6 1/2 pounds, but I don't seem to lose more than 2 pounds per month so we'll see. If I make it, i'll start the New Year in maintenance mode and it would be an enormous mood boost. But I'd probably ruin it by eating lindt chocolate, spanish turrones, and many nice desserts on Dec 31st XD I'd consider myself…

If you get so hungry it can be a sign that you need to up your calories. We tend to try not to listen to our bodies because that's what made us put on weight on the first place but ... We should listen!. Still, remember to eat slowly to let your body realise you're fuelling it. But if you're still hungry until your next…

Wow thank you all for the replies!!! I couldn't get to read them before bedtime but I'll have all the suggestions in mind in case an episode like yesterday gets repeated. Also, thanks a lot for the congratulations! You made me wish I drinked alcohol XD but I can't stand a single sip... But those who mentioned Peanut…

I'd find another doctor! Being overweight can attract other hypothyroid-related diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver, high cholesterol and blood pressure... You name it. You need to stay healthy for as long as possible! You might need a higher medication dose Feel free to add me! :)

Oats cooked with skim milk, and mixed with raspberries, strawberries, almonds, a teaspoon of peanut butter and cinnamon. If i know i'll have a late lunch or if I decide to work out in the morning I even add a sliced banana in it. Depending on the planned activities for the day it can result in a 250 kcal oatmeal or a…

Remember you can create your own recipes and meals! It's a very useful option if you have a fixed meal plan :) remember that some foods lose water and weight when cooked, so you might want to think if you want to weigh them raw or cooked beforehand. :)
-
Lol, thanks! I live in Spain so we have yet to have dinner, but I don't feel I can't put many more calories in my body after the generous lunch we had today :) I was told here on MFP that I exercise too much (two hours per day) and I was eating too little for the amount of calories I burn so I've been watching my calorie…

Congratulations!!! My guess is that just focusing on sculpting your body will take care of any possible problem areas :D
