I am hypo thyroid. I have to take a drug (I take Synthroid) for the rest of my life and get my blood levels checked once a year (when 1st diagnosed it was every four months to get you on the right dose amount. Before I found out, my feet, hands and nose were always cold, my hair and finger nails were brittle, and weight…

That is soooooo awesome!!! I can't wait until the scale says that for me, hopefully before the end of the year. And what a great treat for youself, shows you love your new lifestyle! Keep up the good work

I had the same conversation with my gym partner yesterday...when do I see it?? Im in the gym every day and eat little, under my calorie count....its the eating little. I explained to him that all my life food has been the enemy, it is afterall what got me this way (my hand to mouth action had nothing to do with it LOL) So…

lowcalorieideas.com is a great place to get low cal crock pot meals...double them and freeze them...even my kids like them!

How nice to see that post....I have been hit and miss with the exercise, but am getting at least three days a week. My issue is the food. I'm simply a person that eats to eat and I am the only person that can change that. Using MFP is starting to make me more accountable, but I have discovered some days I get to busy and…

I have taken it ...I did not get the racing heart but had the dry mouth, headaches (probably because I hardly ever ate), insomnia and mood swings that could take down the best of them (lots of snapping at my kids) I did loose weight and looked good, or so I thought, my skin was looking "loose" from the speed of the loss. I…

I was the same way when I started, really didn't feel the need to introduce myself and what not, but I finally did and was totally overwhelmed by the amount of support from total strangers!! Now I see their progress daily and it is total inspiration for me. I've kicked much worse habits than food, but this one, the bad…

Thank you all. I am overwhelmed, I should have done this when I first joined. You are are amazing people and I am inspired by each and everyone of you!!! Now, off to take a walk, a rare sunfilled day in Monterey, going to make the most of it! :smile:
