Not to be all Pitch Perfect, but we can be your flashlight. :wink: I, too, have Hashimoto's - and I can tell you that it isn't impossible to lose weight. It's tough, but if you can overcome the disease ... you can do just about anything. In reality, it takes more tweaking than others ... "why can't I lose weight like x, we…

Oh lord, could I get the recipes for: - broccoli tots - zucchini tots - prosciutto, smoked mozzarella, roasted tomato, & potato chip frittata Please, oh pretty please?!

That is a terrible, terrible tease. That said... I'm in.

I have this insane desire to squeal, "Goody goody gumdrops!" and... I'm not sure if it's because of the candy-goodies, or the man-candy. :bigsmile: But, I'll take a heaping dose of one, so I can burn off the calories for the other.

False. Hahaha, if only! TNP hates peanut butter.

Hey all, mind if I jump in... even if it is a little late? :embarassed: Just coming back to MFP and need to get my tushy into gear... I won't log as many miles as some of you, but I'll work my way up!

Haha, I've never checked the prepackaged meals, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're not giving you all they say that they are! (Sneaky little b@stards.)

Ooh, that's a really good idea. I could do that and then just stick them back in the box... pull out a serving at a time. That way I'm not measuring all groggy in the morning, which usually leads to me spilling cereal on the floor (the dogs are cool with it, of course). lol Thanks!

Oh yeah, imagine my surprise... lol I measured out a cup, and then poured it onto my kitchen scale. I think it must be because of the shapes, etc. Like, I'm sure Grape Nuts is probably a lot closer to the weight according to volume, because it's smaller and fits in closer so you can fit more into a cup. But, take... I…

AH HA!!! So I have been cheating myself! Well, I guess I will measure out the weight and see how much it'd be via volume that way... Thank you! <3

You look wonderful! Keep up the good work, and keep posting - you're an inspiration!!!

Fall off the wagon? No... I kindly stepped off, then decided to dismantle it, while simultaneously breaking anything I touched. Ugh. To top it off, my friends and I do a "Secret Santa" deal where we send our gifts to one another without a return address... and I got two bikinis with a note that says "Tropical Vacation…

Woohoo! Amazing results, keep up the good work!!!

Always remember that pictures don't always capture the entire story... think of all the amazing benefits you've given your body. You're healthier, stronger, faster... happier! Think back to all the NSV's you've had... soon, a picture you'll be proud of will BE an NSV. (Then you're required to post it for all of us to oooh…

Judging from your reaction, it seems like he's said some pretty hurtful things to you in the past and your instinct is to get upset. Whether or not he meant it the way you took it, forget about it. Show him this Holiday season that you won't be brought down by food, or petty comments (whether vague or obvious). You're…

I used to go to a gym that had a room specifically for people who engaged in deadlifting... Yes, it's annoying to others without additional padding, etc... but it's a legitimate workout choice. A gym needs to accommodate for that sort of thing, it's as simple as putting down extra padding... or hell, even having a specific…

I got teased endlessly in high school - but some of those people have already seen me in various stages of my weight loss. Some, however, I'd love to see the looks on their faces when I show up at like... a 15 or 20 year reunion, looking positively amazing. And all the guys that never gave me a chance because I was too…

Bahaha, my style? Slim fitting jeans (bootcut, not skinny jeans) and a cute top, maybe with a sweater shrug. There isn't a lot I can fit into, because I'm 5'10-11" and pretty curvy (even when thin, I was 41-30-42). I love-love the kimono style dresses, too... like these (but they don't have my size, of course!):…

Oh man, that makes me want to barf.

@azzkikin Beach bunnies!

He does, but they're in NY and I'm not really close with any of them... I do know his sister, but from what I understand, she still doesn't have electricity. I just figured I'd find out if there was a way of getting a hold of it without going through the normal channels. Phooey!

PCOS sufferer here, diagnosed in 2000. The weight issue is very difficult, considering the way our body reacts and processes food... I'd offer a lot of advice, but it looks like there's a number of us here, and I don't want to get repetitive. In any case, if you do have PCOS, the weight WILL come off... but you WILL hit…

One of the first steps to feeling better is recognizing how you feel, and then progressing into why you feel that way. I know it sounds like an insanely simple answer to a complex question, but that fundamental understanding of WHAT and WHY will help you determine HOW to recover. As a clinical depression sufferer…

I've done both, and honestly the weight loss is probably about the same... I lost MORE weight on the old WW system than their new one (PointsPlus). I prefer to count calories verses points, because there's no calories/carbs/fiber/protein to points calculations and the workout to point conversion is weird too. Honestly, MFP…

You look WONDERFUL! Congratulations on all your success! But I do have one thing to say... Your journey is about YOU! Do YOU want to lose more weight? Do YOU think you should? We are merely watchers, companions along the road to your success... cheering you on the entire way. If you want to lose more weight, we will be…

Yay! Keep it up!!! You can do it!!!

For nights: pillow or rolled up towel beneath your knees (if you lay on your back), or between your knees (if you lay on your side). (Some chiropractors have a neat pillow-style support that is an hourglass shape so it doesn't slip out when you have it between your legs on your side.) For work: get a lumbar support for…

When it comes to tattooing, the answer is always a resounding: YES. Let the craving for another tattoo begin... (oh wait, I was already suffering)!

325 to 150 to 225 to 155 to 240 to... uuuuuugh... working on that.

There is such a thing as drinking too much water, but it's insanely difficult to do (but not impossible). Just drink as much as your body tells you that you need... if you're thirsty, drink. If you are never thirsty, then just make sure to try and drink the recommended 64oz (8 cups). I fill up a 32oz bottle and sip on it…
