hardest thing for me: motivation to work out

That is a great story. You made yourself healthy again. Best of luck to you in starting your family.

I dont know if I am replying to this correctly, but I found it for about $10.00 on Amazon.com

Great job - you look fantastic. I think you just sold me on it and I am going to purchase this program. :happy:

I too have hypothryroidism. One of the main things you need to stay away from with this disease is soy. As far as nutrional eating, try to eat fresh food - no frozen foods! Frozen food is packed with sodium. Low fat beef, cheese, etc. Turkey and chicken are very low in fat and calories. Try not to eat alot of proceesed…

I feel the same way. Well said and well done!

Well, I started this site and my new "way of life" (i.e. not a diet) on January 3rd. I have consistantly lost and have NEVER really overindulged. I consistently stay under my 1,200 calories per day and have also lost consistently. However, my diet journal is private because there is no reason why I need to have someone…

I have a coke zero everyday at dinner and it has not hindered me at all.

I could be muscle you are gaining at the gym. But, I have found that even a small slip up has bad consequences. I had 2.5 peices of pizza a couple of weekends ago and gained almost a pound! So, needless to say I have not had any pizza since then! Try to stick to foods that are not frozen and high in carbs too.

Most vitamins are fat-soluble and should be taken with a meal - usually at dinner.

You can do it! I have 80 pounds to lose and began myfitnesspal.com on January 3, 2011. I told myself this time that I will do the weight loss with reduced calories, healthy eating and exercising and if it took longer than I would like to lose the weight that was fine. It is better to take months and months to lose the…

I think you should use it as just a guide. I try to stay between 800-1000 calories per day because I feel like if I ate 1200 calories per day and did not work out every day, I would not lose as much as I want or need.

You can use it as one of your snacks, instead of a meal replacement.

I am 5'4 and looking to get back down to 130 too! Good luck :)

When you weigh yourself throughout the day it is not accurate and you will weigh more after you eat. The most accurate way/time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning (after you have gone "potty"). When I weigh myself throughout the day it just depresses me becuase it is never accurate and my weight is more than…

I have had hypothyroidism for about 10 years now. It definately makes it much harder to lose weight and much easier to put on weight. Just make sure you takes your meds every day on an empty stomach and stay away from foods containing soy. Good luck!

I always log my food in right after I eat it.

When I exercise I do not add those extra calories to my menu to eat more. I stick to around 800 calories a day and do not eat more if I exercise.

Usually the melons, like watermelon and cantaloupe are very hugh in sugar.

go to: My home - and then choose settings

Not that I am aware of. How would I tell?

I just started using the GNC Total Lean shakes on Monday. Yesterday was my first real day of using them for breakfast and for lunch. I lost 2.2 pounds in 1 day!! I buy the premixed ones in the bottle becuase I do not want to mess with making the shakes and constantly cleaning the blender. The bottles come in Swiss…
