Started by keeping my cofee addiction going strong - sometimes up to a pot a day. Still had some headaches, but knew they would end. Still got REALLY crabby with my hubs for several days. Now that I'm making some headway, I'm down to about a cup or three of coffee every couple of days. (Had three cups yesterday, half-cup…

My first 5k is coming up on June 23rd. I've just started the C25K, but had been running 1.25 miles three times per week for the last month. My goal for June 23rd is 31:00 (10-minute-mile), and today I made it 2.56 miles in 31 minutes. I'm pretty confident that I will be able to make my time goal. The biggest thing for me…

Forgot the word "NOT" on first post. Weight does NOT depend on one day, but on patterns and consistency!

She has good tips - many I already employ. I try to plan for my "slip-ups." I know I'm going out for lunch on Mother's Day, so I'm making sure to have 100 or so fewer calories each day leading up to Sunday. Weight is determined by one day, but by patterns and consistency. Over the course of a this week, I will have eaten…

I'm in the middle of Level 2 right now, but boy do I remember my first three days of Level 1. I thought I was sore, then I got more sore, then day 3 I wanted to scream with each exercise because I was so sore! Then someone told me day 3 was the worst, and you know what? They were right. Beginning on day 4, it got MUCH more…

Thanks, I might have to try a different nut. I frequently eat 10-20 almonds in a day, spread out. But they are only 70 calories per 10 almonds! Will check into walnuts or something (not a cashew fan).

I've been hypothyroid for 15 years, although it's only been for the last 14 months that I've been really good about making sure I take my synthroid every.single.day. I've been on MFP (and exercising and eating right) since March 21, doing my best to stick with it despite the fact that hypothyroidism makes weight loss very…

So sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling! I think it is a great plan to focus on healing through healthy living, but be sure to take the time to grieve and just feel sad. We lost our 10-year-old daughter to cancer last fall, and felt like people tried to rush us through the grief process before we were ready.…

Hello, Eastern Nebraska friends! I'm in Aurora (20 miles east of Grand Island - an hour west of Lincoln). I know there have been several Nebraskans use MFP because when I search for members, I can put in my zip code and search within 25 miles and find PAGES of folks. How many are currently active? No idea. Good to see…

Wow! Great job! I, too, am hypo. I've been on my meds consistently for a year now. I hate trying to lose weight because it *is* so hard for us hypos, but I know I've gotta do something! My goal is 30 pounds by Christmas, and I've been at it for a month now (down 5 pounds). Seeing your progress encourages me that it *is*…

I did Level One, Day Two today! I am so sore, I feel every muscle complain as I move about! I'm holding Jillian to it when she said that by day 6 or 7, we should be feeling much better and be able to tolerate the workout better. Hubby took "before" pics and measurements. Hoping my "afters" will be different enough to…
