funny you should say that. I have been "borderline" on my thyroid, but I know there is at least one expert out there that says not everyone's normal is normal. I think it really is my thyroid, so would be interested in also hearing from anyone who has gone down the road of trying to fix a thyroid when the standard test say…

Glad you started this thread. I am one of the "smallest losers" constantly in need of encouragement. Whether due to hormones, prior starvation, or just plain bum luck I only lose 2 pounds per month maximum. It is very hard to stay encouraged when we all know a 2 pound fluctuation is possible from morning to night. The key…

yes, it is awesome for walking. I am not a runner (knees), and I find that this program really motivates me to get out there and walk. I like being able to look at the calendar view and see how many times a week I've walked, etc. The one thing I have noticed is that the calories burned do not line up with what calculates…

please read this.... it changed my whole outlook on dieting, and made me realize I had starved myself into fatness. When I started MFP, I initially gained 3-4 pounds. I only lose about 1/3 pound per week, and for some of us that is just the way it is. Especially after growing obese on less than 1000 per day. Just stick…

Yes, but for those of us losing 10th of a pound, it can be a bit more fustrating. 20 pounds took me 1 year to lose.

2/10 of a pound is a bit more frustrating.

Some of us just lose MUCH more slowly than others. I am on week 7, and thank god I have a scale that weighs in increments of a tenth of a pound. I have now lost 6/10 of a pound. I am at a net of 1200 calorie per day and I walk four times a week. If you have not read the article called "obesity at 700 calories a day" you…

i like the old ones, and I do them too. iuse the body sculpting videos with the fanny lifter. How do you log them on MFP? I don't find a way to do that. All I've been able to do is call it cardio, and then use the calorie count for strength training. that does not seem very accurate.

nope, no inches. Tried on a skirt that I wore a month ago and could not get it zipped.

Thanks, and yes very good article. I was so glad to hear that I was not just losing my mind. I recall feeling exactly the same way when I found out at age 30 that I had high cholesterol. the doctor gave me a list of foods not to eat (none of which I eat), and as list of foods to eat (all of which I do). it was not until…

1230 is my net

Thanks! I am going to add some strength training. I'm not sure if I'm losing inches, but I feel better. I've never been able to get an accurate measurement of myself.
