good luck feel free to add me as a friend-I started mfp last november and because of the holidays didnt officially start seriously til january

Yourself -to the most hottest chic in her 60s on the beach- to be the most healthiest in your lifetime-to live another 30 years-Good Luck!!

I did the same thing actually for a bday party/cookout yesterday and I was up right at 2 lbs but I kind of guessed I would be so It didnt bother me as it usually does so my plan is to drink my water exercise and keep my calories between 1200-1300 and see where your at in a couple days after couple days of being really good

After using a couple of the WW models and even after changing batteries they just werent the same so I bought a Taylor digital scale I think it was between $25-30 at walmart because my grandma has had a Taylor for about five years and never had problem and both WW scales Ive had didnt last but year and a half before they…

If you have that many calories and sugar for the day and you want the fruity pebbles with low fat milk then go for it and you'll still be under calories, enjoy and then go to bed

Ice Cream is my WEAKNESS I love it my favorite literally that would be hard too I can only buy it for special treat nights for the family and it has to be gone that night or Ill be in trouble LOL Add me as a friend if you want and I know what you me when the family is like that I have 3 kids and a crabby husband at times!…

I have different rewards for each milestone or every 15 lbs: my first reward was new pair of gym shoes, 2nd reward will be manicure and pedicure, 3rd reward new outfit and date night and many in between but my final reward will be the works: hair done shopping spree nails and a weekend getaway

Does anyone do peanut butter on waffles, pancakes or french toast topped with warm syrup? My family does this and until I met my husband everyone thought it was strange it is yummy!! other than that I tend to eat one thing at a time

My scale is awesome Ive had for about a year and a half the only time it messed up I changed batteries and it was wonderful again It is a Taylor digital scale it does the bodyfat stuff and all that but I dont mess with that, however it was the same price as the WW ones I used to buy (about 25-30) and they would always mess…

I would say since your exercising and staying under your calories you should be fine and since you know this is going on kind of expect to just to maintain your current weight that way if you lose you'll be that much more surprised , drink plenty more water and give yourself a couple days after wards before getting on the…

those look good! thanks for sharing recipe

:flowerforyou: You are the best MFP friend and always have positive words of encouragement!

I need the gym too just goes to show you that everyone has their own way to get to the same goal. I go to the YMCA very family oriented not a bunch of bodybuilder types plus affordable being based on your income so I really enjoy it and there's lots of classes to take to give your workout a variety also, However going to…

At the gym I go to it asks for my weight and age on the elliptical and treadmill so that is another reason I go by that since I don't have my HRM yet but when I do the shred at home and stuff of course I have no way of telling

A Heart Rate monitor would be the closest most accurate but if your like me you probably don't have one (on my wish list) but I personally think the exercise machines are closer but Im going to see what others posts to see what they say and I'm sure most people will say invest in a good HRM

TRULY AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!! You are an inspiration to us all thanks for sharing!

I have problems where Ill be strong for like 3 weeks and do really good lose about 8 lbs or so and then bam Ill have a get together or something and cheat and then I feel so guilty it makes me do bad for like 2 or 3 days and end up gaining half the weight I just lost back and since April I have been doing this so I havent…

Good Luck on your journey and congrats on your Independence Day, it is very liberating coming to find these new discoveries about ourselves! and have a Happy 4th of July too!

I used to have the same problem and a few of my family joined the same gym so I thought good Ill have workout buddies....well Im the only one that wants to go so I had to overcome that and stop using it as my excuse and go and at first I would not go if they canceled but then realized my weight was going to stay the same…

That is awesome!! Congrats!!

I have the same problem when I have a day where Ive had a bad day where my eating is concerned or when I dont exercise, that one day always turns into 3 or 4. So I think if anything I might have days where I dont have as much intensity and maybe just walk or do housework.

Hi there I am 30 as well and I too have hypothyroid and up until I had kids it was fine and so was my weight now after 3 kids Im starting to get serious about losing it for good its been a slow process but Im getting there. You can add me as a friend if you want, Good Luck!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback and encouragement! I know one thing Ive really learned through reading your comments is to log even on the bad days and I think it would make me more accountable to my mfp friends as well as myself and make me think twice the next day and to take it slow....It really helps to read…

Exactly! Between my 2 and 3rd child I lost 65 lbs on my own with healthy eating and going to gym, and now Ive lost 34 lbs this time around and still going, I think we have to try a little harder but its still possible

Im pretty sure once your diagnosed its pretty permanent, but I was was born with hypothyroidism so Ive been taking medicine whole life. As for how fast you will lose the weight with the meds Im not sure Ive taken medicine all my life even through 3 pregnancies and still gained quite a bit and its still just as hard to lose…

Total I had about 110 to lose, I have lost 34 of that so far, Feel free to add me as a friend and welcome to MFP its awesome!

Ice Cream (any kind) is my weakness and last night I cheated with a bowl but my husband couldnt finish his normally I wouldve ate his bowl but since I actually satisfied myself with mine I rinsed his down the sink without a second thought so Im getting better with the temptation

Last time I lost weight as well as this time I was on my meds both times I was told if I was to go off my meds I would get sleep and after too long without my body would start literally shutting down(I was born with hypothyroidism and my mom was told this by my endocrinologist as a child, I dont want to scare you) so maybe…

I have inactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) and I lose not as fast as I like but I guess Im doing pretty good, Good Luck it can be hard but not impossible between my 2nd and 3rd child I lost 65 lbs in about 7 months it has been slower this time around though but that could be because I just turned 30 and I was 25 before plus…

Tummy tuck and breast augmentation would be nice however I know in reality I would never be able to afford them and most insurance don't cover but I would love for these two, I saw reward after pictures on here that had a pinup photo shoot I might do that though
