I too have hypothyroidism. I am on 125micrograms a day of Levothyroxin. I have been working with a trainer and using MFP....but the magic started happening when my trainer told me that MFP had me on too LOW of a daily caloric intake :) I wasn't meeting my BMR. As soon as I upped my cals on MFP (and I work out 5 days a week…

Pills contain chemicals.....according to my trainer (who is a certified nutritionalist) excercise and 'clean' eating is the way to go. Add chemicals to your body and your liver has to work harder cleaning chemicals from your body, therefore less time doing its job helping you process fats....

Being that it was my first week back after my Christmas binge, it fell off....first week is always the eay one :grumble: SW 207 CW 200 Crystal :happy:

Not a cheat DAY, but rather a cheat meal every 10-15 days for me.....makes me more motivated to work hard the rest of the time knowing that I can still have Pizza or wings every once in a while....otherwise it couldnt be a "life change" for me....:tongue:

Count me in! Maybe this is the motivation I need to get back on track!!

Hi, My name is Crystal and I too am a food addict! It feels wierd to finally admit it in text.... I self medicate using food and find much comfort in it until the guilt kicks in :P I lost almost 35 lbs here before christmas and then took a break from myfitnesspal and my excercise regime just to gain almost 10 lbs…

I gained 60lbs with my twins! :blushing: lost a few then gained 15 more with my daughter who is now 8months. I have tried everything...until now nothing has worked. I am a MFP addict and it works! Good luck and all the best!! :drinker:

Hello there! Welcome! I had to write to say that your message made the hairs on my neck stand on end. I am SO sorry for your loss! I am a mother of 8 yr old identical twin girls and cannot imagine the pain of them ever being seperated! On a good note, it sounds as though you have much to be healthy and around for so I wish…

bump! Yummy!

I eat 1/2 a protein bar. Gets me by till supper :)

Good luck Rick! This is the place to be :happy:

Me too! I think it's the weather....we have had rain and snow here in beautiful Alberta Canada :tongue: Makes me wanna go back to bed :laugh: I don't think I have ran or pumped iron for almost 2.5 weeks.....*sigh* I suck! :sad: Lets get back to it!!! Good luck!!

Drinking enough water? If I don't or eat too much sodium I bloat like crazy!

LOL...thank god I didn't feel anything for the first 3 days :laugh: It works on muscle confusion so it hurts for quite a while, but I swear by day 15 you will be an addict :bigsmile: Good luck!!! I loved it!

YAY!! Great job! :drinker: Can't wait to be a 7...or even close. Started at 18 am 15 now....

10 min trainer helped my huband and I to become active again. I LOVED it....after about a month and a half we found it wasnt enough for us anymore (we were doing 3-4 disks a day) so we moved on to P90X. It is a great place to start and will make you sore! :bigsmile:

I had Mirena put in in June and felt the same way. I was so hopped up on painkillers that I didnt eat too much and had cotton mouth so drank lots of water. I just got through the week and started again once I felt better. Hope you feel better soon! It'll pass and you'll be back on track soon! :flowerforyou:

It was when I felt like you do now that I decided to start my journey....and I used my feelings of being at my rock bottom and my low self-esteem to fuel the fire that I need every day to get through on track! :flowerforyou: Use that emotion to run a mile or turn down a treat. After a while you will start to see results…

YAY for you!:drinker:

:cry: Blueberries give me stomach cramps.....too bad because I LOVE them....

HOLY SMOKES!!! :noway: You are my new idol :) You have done an AMAZING job at recreating yourself! I hope you ffeel just as good inside as you look on the outside for what you hvae done! CONGRATS!:flowerforyou:

Thank you all for your posts! It is easy to feel proud and stay motivated when we can all help each other :flowerforyou:

41 cals is not a bad day....make it a good day....a good belly laugh or deep kiss will burn off those extra cals :wink:

Cant wait to break 200!!!!!!! :happy: Also cant wait to take my ever growing 'too big' pile of clothes to the Salvation Army!!

First of all, GOOD FOR YOU! :drinker: Sometimes we have to be shocked into wanting to change ourselves for us. Secondly, I am so sorry to hear of your divorce and it's reasoning....although I am sure many of us can relate :angry: You should check out bodybuilder.com some of these women have gone from 250lbs to 130lb and…

I do the same. I kind of preplan my day so I know I'll have enough to eat a reasonable dinner and be able to have my protein drink after working out. If you plan it wont sneak up on you! :bigsmile:

I am looking forward to being under 200lbs....never ever ever again will I be a "200" :blushing:

:laugh: I hear ya! I am desperate to go bra shopping....24 lbs and my bra is puckering because I am down in the chest area.....:blushing: I am not worried....I can afford to lose some :wink: Feels good though, huh??! :drinker:
