I get my tester on Monday (tomorrow) - 4 times a day too monitored by a nurse. Never thought of joining a Facebook group - that’s a good idea! Would you be ok if I follow you?

Veggie currys (there is a WIDE variety here) - with boiled rice Veggie tortillas with smokey spice & sour cream Veggie sausages with mash Veggie pie with salad & salad potatoes Gnocchi with pesto Beetburgers and salad Melanzanne Veggie stew - with baked potato Loaded vegetable no cheese pizza.... I could go on! Try some…

I also have hypothyroidism - been on levothyroxine for 10 years. I will never come off it, and those with a real condition never should. Once stable you will loose weight (when in a calorie deficit) - my levels have been stable for 8 of those years. Over the last year I’ve lost 11.7kg. My maintainace level however is aprox…

You can add me

Can I second the shock absorber bra! I’m an F and I swear nothing moves! (Also a fellow runner)

I think there are 2 modes in which we think about food while changing our eating habits. 1 is ‘thinking’ - this is the place where we plan, look at items, try to see what fits in our day or our protein count. It’s our meal prep, our meal planning & how we think about getting variety not being bored & trying new recipes.…

Lately it’s been 3 times a week lots of birthdays & social events plus it will be wedding season in a few months - at the least once a week... Di experimenting with ways to be social & still keep my goals.

It’s funny - I’ve been changing my eating for close to a year and lost 11kg so far, and I run a mix of strategies depending how much notice I have & how I feel in the day. I was thinking about it & find it interesting that people run a few strategies together - but my partner is very different - he just accepts what he…

Puff pastry!!! Jesus!!! - made a spinach & leek pie - thought it would be nice & light - nope it was 600 calories a slice!

It can be normal to be hungry in the beginning while you adjust to the lower calories. But not long term and not all the time. Really try to focus on the foods which make you feel full, either protein, fats or carbs. Usually there’s one which will work for you & you need to plan to incorporate more into your diet. Also try…

0% fage Greek yougurt - protein & low calories! Apples - the fill you up for next to nothing Popcorn Little squares of carte d’or chocolate - only 56kcal

Avocados & peanut butter - I still fit them in

Thanks for all the reply’s - I use food scales for everything & have done for over half a year. And I know that’s the usual culprit for lack of loss. Thanks for all the advice on scales as well as body. I’ll keep working away - it is indeed perhaps a woosh waiting to happen.

You can add me - I’m a pescatarian - though keep fish to a minimal. LOVE cooking - tonight was a full on vegan korma! Yesterday was beet burgers! Happy to share my diary with you!

I have an under active thyroid - I’ve lost close to 8kg. Take your replacement medication everyday. Work out, build muscle & eat less calories. For me that’s 1300 - depends how much you have to loose. But it’s not a factor is loosing weight just the whole lifestyle you need to maintain a healthy one.

stunning hair and skin! - love it!

When I come home and the kitchen is clean When may tea or coffee is at the right temperature - where its hot but doesn't burn my mouth When my alarm goes off in the weekend and I can sleep on When i tick of an item on my to do list - any item When the scale reads a loss :smiley:

Peanut fried tempeh - boiled rice & katsu sauce! Dinner of champions!

It’s a community forum, these questions come from people who don’t know much about dieting & seeking answers - try to be kind & point them to the sticky posts.

Steamed prawns in garlic & boiled rice

The hot chocolate from Starbucks 165 in the small size ... without the cream

Thanks for all the input! I worked from home on Friday so took my 1/2 a salad back home & weighed it! It came out at 483 for the 1/2 bowl (& was a very small bowl at 7 inches wide & 2 inches high) that was left. I know quinoa is quite dense so only had 1 spoon of it & only 1tablesoon of couscous (until I seen the quinoa)…

I got drunk last night - had 2 mojitos, red wine, bitterballen, chicken skewers and quesadilla! It was a GREAT night. No guilt... Today I'm having lots of salad and going for a run - prob tomorrow too... it was worth it, and i always manage to fit in crazy nights - you should too! 1 donut = 1 run... or a light salad…

I've had hyperthyroid issues since i was16! I'm on 100mc (you don't want it too high as your body will get used to it) and no it's not easy, it's puts you at a disadvantage but I'm here to tell you it's possible. Yes you have to be more careful & weigh & track at a lower intake than most people (I'm on 1300 calories a day)…

Will be carrying water too

Tunas a good one - that would work, I could do that a few days too - thanks!

I have a stove!

Starbucks hot chocolate without cream - 290

Thanks for the great tips. I'm going to up my intake to 1300 first and see what happens - all positive though! Thanks guys!

Thanks for the tip, I'll up my intake & see where I go!
