I'm not overweight but I too have a lot of the symptoms of an underactive thyroid. I've had my blood checked since I was young to test for it but the results were always negative. I have normal iron levels and my symptoms started around puberty. I'm on an assortment of medications for depression now because that seems to…

Sexiii

Don't quote me but I've read that you should have canned tuna no more than 3 times a week. I've been pescetarian for 5 years and I have yet to die from mercury poisoning! :D success!

If you control how much you eat, it's not a failure at all! I feel so satisfied for limiting myself to one piece of chocolate than eating healthy for weeks. Overcoming your 'fear foods' shows that you've made a huge step towards a lifestyle change!

I think most decent people would judge you for having bad form before judging your weight. A lot of them probably were bigger at one point too.

Thank you very much! You are so blessed to have someone like your husband. I hope for something similar in my future!

Same. No one looks out for me like I do.

Drinking a lot of coffee probably has more effect than most OTC diet pills.

I know that this sounds like bs but honestly, taking a break from my diet broke my plateau. I don't have much to lose and was stuck at 133 for a few weeks. When I pigged out on chocolate and stayed away from the gym for a few days,I lost 3 pounds in a few days. Have you been lifting?

Definitely a gym membership. You don't need anything else.

For me, the weekly estimates haven't been too reliable but the 5 week estimate seems to be!

I'd have to permanently destroy it. Cover it in dish soap and toss it in the garbage. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A SINGLE SERVING OF CHOCOLATE, at least to me hah. The whole thing would be gone in an hour.

Yes, I freaking lift. Do you freaking lift?

The love handles that I see in the mirror every morning...

Did it start when you began your diet? Getting enough protein? Depressed? Could be thyroid. If you were anemic, your periods would have likely been affected too.

I miss my girly, fruity drinks. :( A smoothie that you get drunk off of!

Apply biooil or something on them now while they're still red. They're much harder to remove when they're white.

I am plagued by various brain cooties. The only thing that helps me get started is being busy. Can you be out and away from fast food for a few days? Thank of various things you could do around town. Cutting cold turkey is the only think that works for addictions, IMO. You also have to find new coping mechanisms. It's very…

If you're not under 5 feet tall, yup.

I don't like it either. It makes me feel like they're thinking, "hah she's trying so hard but she still looks like ****!" I'm working on that mindset lol.

Bump???

Usually a net of 1200 calories. I just started wellbutrin, which kills my appetite so probably even less lately. I was worried about losing muscle.

I was on celexa for 3 years. I gained 80 lbs... Horrible medication for me. Every person has a different experience though. I'm on lexapro now and it doesn't affect my weight.

It's counterintuitive but most people honestly lose more when they have rest days. You're better able to push yourself hard after a break too

I went to a lot of counseling today and started associating myself with the word "pretty". No maltesers!

5'4" CW:128lbs GW: <110lbs I try to have 1200 calories net. I work out 6 days a week.

Hint: WELLBUTRIN

You can find something that refutes and confirms everything on the Internet. It certainly can't hurt and I have been seeing results.

Like everyone said, you will need to lose fat but do you have access to a gym? The hip abb/adductor machines have helped me with that.

Protein beats any craving!
