Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you were able to get the proper diagnosis. Unfortunately the meds will not make or facilitate weight loss. The meds will help rebalance (for lack of better words) our thyroid and generally bring us back to feeling normal. But as I had to realize, I acquired really bad habits and gained the weight as a result. We will…

Agree w/ Mara232. Having also gained 40 lbs it's very sobering to realize that I did this. Now, the hypothyroid assisted in bringing me down, which 'allowed' me to make poor choices to gain the weight. Even on proper medication, I still have days where I'm really tired, but I make much better choices. Recently started to…

A loooong time ago Oprah challenged a family to give up watching tv for a period of time. When the movers were hauling away the tvs and the family was crying they were playing the crooning Michael Bolton 'How Am I Supposed to Live Without You". Very funny song over during the slow motion crying over a tv!

Great job! Continued success!

LET'S GO RED WINGS!

You are so right. I'm struggling with the excercise thing but I appreciate your post. Thank you for sharing.

WOW!! Fantastic! You must be so proud. Thank you for sharing your story. Consistency is the key!

You look great! Thanks for sharing and spreading such inspiration.

Moulin Rouge?! What's the clearance, Clarance?

WOW! You look fantastic. Great job!

Poor Matt. I felt so bad for him!! I hope he wins b/c he actually deserves it. Big fan of Jeff P.! Host with the Most!

I second the kebobs recommendation. Also, you probably tend to eat a lot of salads... have you tried making your own dressing? There are some fantastic recipies online that really wake up a salad and make it new again. Very refreshing. Just used one from chef Tal Ronnin. Much better than bottled dressing.

Great job! You are well on your way!

Great job!!! What an inspiration! :smile:

I'm in the same boat trying to figure this out... but I think there may be time before work/school. It may require getting up earlier but that may be the only solution. The rest of the day gets packed with unexpected delays etc which end up being excuses. I guess the a.m. gets rid of the excuses other than personal…

Welcome back... your story is vaguely familiar : ) Good luck to you - this is the time. 2011 you will reach and maintain your goal.

Yes, it is frustrating but it's it is part of the learning process. You are completely changing yourself to a new healthy way of eating... just remember that. You can do it. We all have been there. Just keep pressing on. : )

I create a paste with olive oil, paprika and fresh garlic. Rub the paste and then wrap the pork loin in plastic wrap 1-2 days. Slice and cook individual medalians. Serve topped with roasted red peppers. Yum-o!

Shredded wheat or Kashi Autumn Wheat are my 'go to' since I can eat it dry at my desk at work. Takes me all morning to finish a serving and it's quite filling.

Congratulations! Well earned and well deserved! Continued success. :flowerforyou:

Bravo!:flowerforyou:

Welcome! We all have unique starting points but the good thing is that we are all in this together and have a lot of experience. You can complete your goal! All the best!

Beachy and exotic dream vacation once I reach goal. Been avoiding these places b/c of the attire - but no more! Seychelles here I come... soon! : )
