made these last night, really yummy! served them with baked sweet potatoes. http://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/03/honey-spice-chicken-thighs/

223. Currently 186 and already feel a million times better.

I started taking Levo in May and I have dropped about 20 pounds since then. Its the only thing that has helped me lose weight! It also helped my mental clarity, hair loss, etc. Everyone is different so if you do gain weight, go back and see your doctor. You should only see positive results.

^This!!! The key for me was recognizing the difference between actually wanting something and eating it just because I could. The other night I got halfway through a cupcake and was like, "why am I eating this? Because I have 600 cals left in my journal? I don't even like it that much!" Felt like a victory :)

In to read later - I need more suggestions myself. I'm getting tired of snacking on chicken.

YUM. Beets

Try the lemon-lime Sparkling Ice. Its really tasty and i am pretty sure its sweetened with Splenda. I drank those to wean myself off of diet coke, and now I don't even drink the sparkling ice. i have the non-sweetened La Croix instead. You can do this!!! :)

yep, I have both. I feel much better since starting treatment for the hypo. but i am off birth control at the moment so I've also been dealing with the painful periods (when i get them, which isnt often), nausea, and weird hair growth (the. worst.) My hypo symptoms were mostly weight gain, lethargy, and brain fog, so that…

This morning I mixed chocolate whey, chocolate almond breeze (unsweetened), Trader Joe's cold brew coffee, a tablespoon of Nutella, and a tiny bit of stevia (4 drops liquid). it was delicious!

1. iced coffee 2. half & half or creamer (to go with the iced coffee) 3. my usual breakfast sandwich (english muffin, egg, cheese) 4. tomato slices 5. avocado

I work out on my lunch break. its the only time i will actually do it and be consistent. i'm too tired before and after work. we have a locker room with showers here so that makes it a bit easier. weekends i generally work out around the same time (noon) because i have the sleeping schedule of a teenager.

I (used to) make wheat toast with butter and honey, and use it as a spoon for oatmeal. or even better, malto-meal. carbs on carbs on carbs yo. peanut butter on a hamburger is amazing. especially if there is bacon involved. curry powder on popcorn (try it, its crazy good)

went shopping for my hubby yesterday and decided to pick up a new pair of shorts for myself. grabbed my usual size and i was swimming in them! i am officially a size 14 (US). i havent been a 14 since high school so this is pretty damn exciting.

happened to me about 2 weeks ago. i am still happy dancing. congrats!

i am 5'4", 198 lbs, and a size 16 (US)/XL. sometimes a XXL, because boobs. (38 H)

Quest FTW! Apple pie is my fave.

If you are looking for a quick fix, the Amy's brand vegetable soup is killer! Its canned, so sodium and what not, but its delish.

Well if I didn't make a yummy sound, and YOU didn't make a yummy sound....

this x 1 million

^^LOOOOVE this movie Although my personal favorites are Harold and Maude, and My Blue Heaven, which is a Steve Martin/Rick Moranis movie that i am pretty sure no one has seen but me.

Old Navy for everything except sports bras. I get those from Amazon.

where does one find 6 calorie crackers???

I'm not on Metformin either. I was never prescribed anything for my PCOS other than birth control.

this is an amazing story; congrats to you!!!!

Quest, by far! Heated up for about 8 seconds...delish.

In the same boat over here...miscarried at 6 weeks in March of 2013. Not due to weight, but it definitely inspired me to get as healthy as possible before i get pregnant again. I have PCOS and newly diagnosed hypothyroid.

Loooooved the Morello & Miss Rosa story lines this season. The last scene of the season is SO great!

For those of you that have asked about a support group, i think there are a few of them already. Here is the one I am in: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/3087-p-c-o-sis I have PCOS & Hypothyroid...feel free to add me!
