I can't actually see any pics so had to go to your profile and I see nothing at all to be ashamed of...seriously!! You look great!!

lol ^^^this!!! I have just recently had to go on Synthroid to replace my thyroid and it is not supposed to be taken at the same time I drink my coffee. So, I will set my alarm to go off at 4 a.m. to take this pill and then when I wake up at 5, I will be ready for my coffee. I will not go without my coffee, lol.

Just all depends what you add to it as to if it will cause weight gain.

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ For the OP, this just one good site for thyroid patients.

I just had my thyroid taken out so going through the whole thyroid medication adjustment etc. I have done wonderful at maintaining a good weight until having my thyroid removed due to cancer on 8/2. The thyroid regulates so many things such as our metabolism, body temperature, and much more. I have been gaining weight even…

Ha, this is the typical story I hear and see every day working in a clinic full of docs. They herd patients in and out like cattle. I am pretty irritated with our general health care right now. I was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer, they took the thyroid out and want me to do radioactive iodine. The whole thing has been…

I will admit that I am not a good veggie eater either. But, I have found a great way of implementing them into my way of life in a healthy, whole food kind of way. I found a great site, Incredible Smoothies, that has wonderful recipes for putting our veggies and just the right fresh fruit blend into a blender and mixing it…

Woohoo my good friend, I am so proud of you!!!! I love your story and accomplishments!

Wow!! Amazing!!

Wow, you have an incredible story here and such a great writer also!!! Maybe you should write a book about your journey as you have a knack for words and description. I am SO proud of you and you look GREAT!!!! Good job friend and thank you so much for sharing this!!

Wow, you are in a tough situation and I feel for you :( As some have mentioned above, I would seek legal counsel. You may find that if he ever has to be enforced to pay his child support and the back support, he may disappear from their lives again. No telling. I would definitily see what your legal rights are and that is…

Coffee, Greek yogurt and watermelon.

I was just diagnosed with Multifocal papillary carcinoma of the thyroid two weeks ago :cry: I had Hodgkins Lymphoma 25 years ago and radiation to my neck/chest and it has caused this cancer to crop up. They took my thyroid out 2 weeks ago and now taking me to super hypothyroid status. They told me I will feel like I have…

Good job!!! It is amazing to see the changes in our faces when we lose weight.

Wow...this is awesome!!! At first I was reading it thinking what a horrid person this person is you work with. Then when I realized who you were talking about, I was floored because I beat myself up all the time with many of the same things you mention here. I always see women who I think are so gorgeous and wish I looked…

That is so wonderful!!! Good for you! Such a good feeling huh!

Hlm...sweet

I too need to incorporate more weights into my workouts, but I have heard that as women it helps with our bone density that we tend to have more of a problem with than men. I definitily know it can't hurt from all that I have read and the results I see in other women. I love the way it defines the body. As far as cardio,…

I completely agree! Not sure if banning these kids will make them actually want to lose weight if they are overweight, or just discourage them more. I can understand the worry about taxing the heart but like someone else mentioned, there are many "slender" people who are in horrible cardiovascular health. I walked recently…

I am like someone else mentioned; I talk to myself out loud and even answer myself. I spend a lot of time alone in my job environment so have to have someone to talk to :smile:

You are gorgeous and I wish my boobies weren't the first thing to go when I lose weight.

I can understand your temptation and your acknowledging your feelings is the first step. And, as long as you are still alive, there is always hope :flowerforyou: I don't have the greatest willpower either and work in a medical clinic where practically every dr and nurse have candy/chocolate on their desks. I keep telling…

What a JERK!!! I would have reacted the same way you did!!! I am so sorry.

Sounds yummy to me :tongue:

I have to have breakfast or I get shaky and just don't feel great. For example, this morning is a Special K high protein shake, have some strawberries and oranges here I have not eaten yet, along with a greek yogurt. I just do better if I have a little something.

Just another good reason for me not to eat mushrooms...ewe!!! I am a "texture" person and mushrooms are one of the many things I have a problem with the texture of. I know...strange, but just the way I have always been. And, I realize that chocolate also has larva in it, but I try to ignore that fact each time I eat it as…

I like sleeping nude and just hope I don't have to run out of my house in the middle of the night for any reason :smile:

We as women are so hard on ourselves. I am often told by men I have dated that I am beautiful and all I see in the mirror is that I am not as slender as I would like to be. As someone who used to be very slender, I desire that again. Even the man I am dating now, tells me all the time how "hot" and "beautiful" he finds me,…

I wish I had a problem with "skinny fat" and not just fat :) You girls look GREAT in the pics above!!!

Wow....amazing success story!!! You look awesome!!
