Thyroid cancer survivor here also. Gained a ridiculous amount of weight while getting my meds under control. Getting back into the game.

My meds have not been in hyper til now, ( hopefully blood test today will verify) they will keep me in hyper to avoid cell reproduction. I'm just restarting this site since gaining this mess of weight so we'lol see how it goes with diet and exercise

I used mfp in the past and lost over 100 lbs in June 2016 I was diagnosed with papillary and folicalular thyroid cancer. I have gained 80lbs in this time. I also have issue with needing suppression with certain food avoidanc. My meds are almost where they should be so here I am trying to start this journey again! Would…

No RAI allergic to iodine

That's great to know! My surgery was in June and again 1st of July ( complications during 1st surgery) my numbers are finally getting where they need to be but, just switched doctors since my last refused to check all my levels ( only checked t4) so getting new blood work up next week and we'll go from there.

Good luck to you on your restart!

Love to be a part of this group! Lost 107lb then diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Now starting over gained 82lbs in 6 months

I just rejoined the community on here to get this same help! Wow great timing I'm at a complete loss on this too- gained 82lbs in 6 months

Hug..great job!!

Fantastic job! Keep it up you doing great!

Awesome job! I got my dad to join mfp a year ago and he has also had great results.. No longer diabetic, bye bye high blood sugar, high blood pressure,.. It's fantastic to see he will have a longer life with his family and fiends and you have done the same! Congrats :)

I'm the house cook so my hubby eats better even when not trying:) I refuse to cook multiple meals so I've learned to make dishes they love healthier for all of us and it works for us ( hubby is skinny to start with.. That's rough and a junk food lover) Try these: 1 cake mix ( Betty Crocker is lower cals) then add only 1…

Hi! After reading your post I have to agree that you are lacking calories for the amount of activities you are doing, make sure you are logging your exercise and eat back at least 1/2 the calories you earn... Not eating enough will decrease weight loss and also over stress your body with that much activity. I have been on…

When you log your weight at a point it will prompt you to " reevaluate" your calorie goals

Welcome! I was like you for years! I started on mfp knowing it would NOT work...lol. It works and I think because I felt it would not work that I was so surprised to start losing weight then stayed on to prove it wouldn't last! I'm just stubborn that way :happy: now it's been 18 months and 103 lbs I still find it easy to…

I've been at this quite a while now and I found that no matter what I changed the plateau was there.. Several of them in my journey. Work through them, yell at the scale, cry if need be, but think about all you've gained with what you have lost. My 1st plateau was 5 weeks long! Then dropped 4 lbs the following week and…

I always make my own and NO not with cauliflower crust I can cheat and still make it healthy and good! I buy my dough at the local pizza place ( un cooked) the use 1/8 th of dough and stretch the crap out of it .. Love thin crust any way then grab the toppings at go! I always put cheese on last , seams to make the taste…

Height: 5'7 Age: 36 Gender: female Highest weight: 287 Weight when starting: 263 Lowest and current weight: 170 Lost : 93 lbs 7 more to go to reach 100 and also my 163 goal!

Vitamins!! Me too lol. Mine are 20 cals though for the calcium chews :) thought I was alone on this

I sooo agree, I eat about 150-250 calories a day in veggies! I always log my veggies.

I agree, I do stay at 1200 cals but if I exercise I eat them back. It was a gradual reduction for me from when I started so I don't think I noticed any starvation but agree with logging 800 cals and burning 500 is soooo bad for you not trying to be snarky I really do agree :)

I do these too. Also we can buy pizza dough at hungry howies uncooked so I take 1/8 equal to one slice and thin it out into a large crust and then use lots of veggies and sauce then little cheese. This way I control my calories yet still get a lot of pizza when the craving hits lol. Always use 96/4 ground beef beef…

Feel free to add me, I love to help!

I keep snacks in the house for the hubby and kids too. But it's stuff that doesn't appeal to me. Hubby loves milky ways, I don't . Kids love Pringles, not me. I do keep ruffles in the house for me but I buy one bag a week an it has to last or I don't get any the rest of the week. Always weight and put away! It works. If…

I love my fitbit but I don't sync it to mfp, I did at first but I prefer just seeing the amount of steps I take and the ease of use. Also very durable ( went through washer and dryer twice in one week and still works lol)

10. Wow! And thanks also

Great job!

8. And 12 for her :)

Sw 263. Cw 171. This was at 185

Most of my travel is by plane. Thank god for my purse to shove snacks in! Lol
