I'm in. :smile: Current weight: 202 Beginning weight: 202 lbs lost: 0 ...lol...day one...

Get your thyroid checked...

I don't think it's genetics...everyone (EVERYONE) in my family is fit and takes care of themselves...but I'm overweight...because I'm lazy...I'm working on it though ;) which is why I'm here...

Thought about getting your thyroid checked?

No, I don't sleep in a bra! One of the best parts of my day is taking it off in the evening! lol But, my breasts are all natural. I can maybe understand why you are more comfortable sleeping in one. I have slept in a sports bra before and that was okay...I slept in the sports bra when I was breastfeeding my children so…

just keep trying

I had cheese stuffed crust pizza last night :) and it was amazing!!! :) Just because you "fall off the wagon" doesn't mean you are doomed...pick yourself back up, dust it off, and start making healthy choices again. Don't let one bad day become a bad year...It doesn't have to!!! Just try ...and try again. :) I've been…

Sounds a lot like the J J Virgin diet...that I just started today it has me eliminating "high fi" foods...foods that lots of people are allergic to such as corn, soy, peanuts, eggs, dairy, gluten, sugar and artificial sweeteners for 21 days and then reintroducing 1 high fi food a week to see if I have a reaction...A plate…

I just started today...not to lose weight but to see if maybe I can find out if I have any food intolerances...I feel like crap a lot, and I do suffer from inflammation frequently...I thought it was due to my being hypothyroid...but maybe I have an intolerance to a food...at the end of 21 days I guess I'll find out...eggs…

Read Dr. Atkins book....google it...

Desserts in general. I'm pretty picky about sweets, and I don't crave them. I will only eat dessert if there is pecan pie or carrot cake available. Otherwise, I'm just not tempted to consume the extra calories.

Nope...I HATE beets...I just don't like the taste. I need to eat them though! They are soooo good for you! :) I may try to reintroduce them...maybe in powder form in smoothies! lol good luck with that. :)

documentary--Food Inc. Or Sicko T.V. Shows...I don't really watch a lot of TV, but I think I like that show Bar Rescue...lol I caught myself watching it one day for longer than two minutes... :)

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 7 years ago...my doctor took me off of synthroid because it did not help me...every six months my dosage was having to be adjusted to a higher dosage...my doctor switched me to Armour Thyroid and I am taking the smallest dosage available and doing well...I haven't had to have an…

Good for you! Happy for you!

Hey, I looked at your food diary, and it looks like you need to be logging everything that you eat. I know it can be a headache, but once you start logging it all, I think maybe you'll find your problem. Good luck! I added you as a friend as well. :) I need motivation too! :)

I don't know if i'll bother your condition, but maybe Mederma cream? I've heard good things... http://www.mederma.com/

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I needed the inspiration. :)

Yes. I lost weight when I switched to Armour. I weighed 210 pounds when I switched from Synthroid to Armour. After a month or two I weighed 185 pounds. Then stopped losing. Now, I need to diet and exercise to lose more. But that loss was without diet or exercise. I feel MUCH better. Hypothyroid symptoms are improved, but…

woah, I agree with the others that said not to cut your calories so drastically...you will be miserable at 1000 calories a day! ...unless you make SURE to get lots of protein in...good luck Friend me if you want. I struggle as well. I'm hypothyroid but medicated. Weight is slowly (SLOWLY) coming off. It def. takes some…

When I first started Atkins, I had a really hard time eating enough calories because of all the protein keeping me full...20 grams of carbs a day is a good starting point. :) I lost about 16 lbs my first two weeks. Make sure you drink plenty (PLENTY) of water, or you will get constipated. Maybe consider taking a fiber…

I have absolutely NO IDEA... :( need that DNA test I guess. :)

I use the Silk brand Unsweetened Original Almond Milk because it is GMO free! It is pretty yummy. I use it in my coffee as creamer (delish), and I use it in my kid's cereal (they love it-no complaints!). Best of all for my family--the unsweetened original is extremely LOW CARB. :) We are happy with it. Esp. the Silk brand…

The Count of Monte Cristo! LOVED IT! :D

Mmmm! Saute the kale in bacon fat (I save all bacon grease at my home--mostly for the purpose of sauteing greens!) You can toss in some minced garlic to saute with the kale as well if you think you'd like that flavor. Saute it until its nice and soft and if needed add some vegetable stock or, my favorite-- BEEF STOCK!…

that was for Eric as for ironaddict = curiosity
