  • An app that tracks the trend of your weight helps a lot. Someone mentioned one above, but TrendWeight is another site. I weigh once a day in the morning when I first wake up. I figure more than that I'm just going to end up weighing the difference in my clothes, water weight, or poop my body has made throughout the day…

  • I haven't used the community aspect of this site much but I have 40-50lbs to lose and I'm determined to reach that goal this year. I was that weight a few years ago but slowly creeped up after a big illness. I'm trying Fitness Blender workouts, eating cleaner (spiralizing veggies :) ), watching portion sizes, etc. I may…

  • I wear my Fitbit Charge HR and it logs around 260-280 calories for me. I work up a sweat and my heart rate gets up, but I do notice that during arms my Charge HR doesn't seem to be registering my heart rate, so I'm hoping I've actually burned more than what the end total shows. Pure Barre helps build muscle but doesn't…

  • Even if you don't want to do a keto diet, I liked this calculator which has a body fat section, to just give you an idea. Better than nothing? http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/. Plus, I'll personally stop losing when I feel good in my clothes and feel strong and healthy.

  • I'm confused. I guess I thought once my thyroid levels were "normal" again that I wouldn't feel so tired. I used to sleep the weekend away with 5 hour-at-a-time naps. My TSH was at 80.15 then (T3 = normal, T4 = low, TSH = High). After a month of levothyroxine, my TSH is now 2.64 which my doctor says is normal, but... I…

  • I started levothyroxine in January. My doctor told me to take it before bed and the pharmacist seemed surprised but just said "Oh okay, I guess that could work." I try to wait 1/2 an hour after dinner before I take it but honestly I'm not extremely consistent with how empty my stomach is- I just try not to forget about it…

  • There is some really good advice on this post. Don't let the numbers discourage you! There are good days and bad days that can fluctuate based on water intake, etc. I wanted to address a different question: "If I wanted to weigh myself every day, how can I make sense of all the rapidly changing numbers and get a good idea…

  • Before I joined this site I was working out with a personal trainer because I had a lot of weight to lose (and ended up losing over 20lbs with him). I'll share what we did and what he told me and try to answer the questions you posted to the best of my knowledge. 1. & 2. I worked out with him only 2 or 3 times a week…
