Gosh that sucks, pretty much the same. I was just told I suffered from anxiety and depression with a touch of ocd thrown in there. Now they are telling me the majority of my symptoms are due to hyperthyroidism and my slight ocd is due to having to deal with these symptoms with no help for what I'd say close to 6-7yrs. My…

I just had blood work done and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I still need to see the specialist. I have many of the symptoms but I just lived with them for so many years I didn't really think anything of them. I sweat buckets, heart palpitations, so tired, anxious, seriously irritated, depressed, hot and cold,....…

Awesome job!!!!

Hi, no question today just wanted to share a small success for me :) I ran my first 10k yesterday at the Cleveland marathon. I ran it in 68minutes which was under my goal of 70minutes! yay!! So to all the experienced runners out there that answer our inexperienced runners questions, Thank you! You help make our goals…

I've lost 50 pounds = a small bale of hay I want to lose 80 pounds = the Worlds Largest Ball of Tape

I love coffee. Love it. But I drink it either black or with 1 tablespoon of creamer. I always log it but I usually only have 2 cups a day. Only adds up to 70 calories.... Not bad for something I love to drink.

I'm 5'3" and started at 213lbs and at my height the highest I should weigh is 140. I haven't weighed anything close to that since being an adult and I didn't want to choose something that was too out of reach. So I choose 140 so I can technically be healthy but not to obsessive.... When I get there maybe I'll readjust but…

So how about certain sun blocks. I'm a natural red head and need to wear it.... But I sweat like a maniac. I can't stand the sting in my eyes. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Also baseball hats vs visors... Any difference there? Where do you get them? Thanks!

When you explain to your family that your going to the "beach"(or wherever you are going) and they don't pack anything to do at the beach or anything they would really need. Like wearing tennis shoes instead of flip flops or heck not bringing a swimsuit....then complains. Especially since my family is 12, 14, and 40....all…

You can't control what other people do. Accept that and move on. You however can control what you do, what you eat, if your workout....and your mindset. Love your husband for who he is a person that you choose as your life partner. He is not you and maybe at this point in his life doesn't want to lose weight or eat…

:D you are such an inspiration Jen! Seriously great job!!

First weigh in for me since starting this challenge! SW:213 Sw in challenge: 163 CW: 161.6 GW: For challenge 143 Down 1.4lbs!

I just wanted to say OP that I <3 this thread I've been looking for this same info. I've been lifting using the machines since November and I'm itching to get over to the big girls lifting area, lol. I've lost 50lbs but I still see myself as the overweight wannabe at the gym....I'm still working on my head getting to where…

When I first started my journey I cut out all sugar, literally no sugar. Except from fruits and veggies. After 3 months I slowly added some back in. I made it a goal no sugar because I was an addict. I may still have a hard time every once in a while but compared to what I was it's a miracle. I just don't crave in anymore.

You look great! Seriously don't worry about not looking like a model, the average person (most everyone) isn't a model.... We just doll our selves up in photos. I personally don't do clothes less photos, I applaud you for showing your progress like that.

Started at 5'3" 213# and in 7 months I've lost #50. I would still like to lose about 25# more.

Lol wonderful. The more I've gotten into running the more interesting facts I find out. Thanks for the reply's!

By far your awesome hair!

So weird question. I've been running since Sept of last year. When I started I was 50lbs heavier and I didn't pay attention to anything but not dying. Lol, anyway I ran a lot outdoors in the winter except when it was under 10* then I ran in the gym. Outside my nose always ran, I just dealt with it because I thought it was…

This thread has turned sad. Serena Williams is beautiful. She is what God and nature intended her to be. That being said I'm done reading this. FYI I'm glad to help with the website earlier....I hope everyone has as good luck with it as I have!! s

Awesome thank you for the site...i will pass it along to her. She is incredibly talented with a sewing machine!!

I agree. Even at my thinnest back in high school I was still a DDD/EEE. Damn the women in my family for cursing us with a giant chest. I had a reduction in my early 20's though so it no longer effects me. THank God. However my sister has not had a reduction and her being 5'2 and 150# has boobs so big (natural) that she has…

You already are an inspiration. Congrats on your loss so far that is wonderful! As someone said above keep us posted yours will be an awesome awesome awesome success story.

@JoRocka thank you! I actually rented the dress from a website called Renttherunway.com. I love this website... You can rent high-end designer dresses for between 30-600$$. Granted this dress was maybe $35 to rent. You get 2 sizes to make sure you get a good fit and you get a second choice dress for free. The jewelry was…
