I brush my teeth, chew gum and/or prelog a snack so I have the cals for it

Me! 30 next year!

Starting weight 9/7 was 188.6lbs

I'll join! Would be happy with 6lbs (hypothyroid and crazy clinical placement schedule)

got up at 530am to exercise before the kids woke up. Of course I was still interrupted twice by a certain child haha but got it done eventually (never can win can you!?!)

mum of 2 here, would love more motivated mama friends! :)

New Zealand now after 10 years in TX!

I have to not buy things I know I can't control myself with. So... almost everything ;) I cut up carrots etc and put those in the fridge along with a bunch of peeled hard boiled eggs, try to drink more water and only have healthy snacking options in the house. Am really enjoying roasted unsalted almonds with a few…

my double chin when I look in the mirror and an award ceremony I am attending in 2 months, sick of being unhappy with my body! I have found that if I get up and put ON my workout clothes, even though the kids won't be gone for a couple more hours I am much more likely to go through with the actual workout. Cos you know,…

14 workout videos in 14 days while on break from uni. Day 1 done!

Hiya, you can add me, I live in Auckland! Just got back from seeing Crowded House in Sydney where I gained 4lbs :/ have about 30 to lose ultimately :)

well I had mine 3 years ago... does that count?? lol

i am!

I'd love some new active friends too!

I'm doing the same! though my baby is 3.5.... :/

every day, in the morning, keeps me on track!

Happy Happy to report I am now back to the weight I was a year ago when we moved here! And the health conditions I developed while living in the US have mostly disappeared now due to a better lifestyle and more supportive/willing doctors. Very happy! I have about 10lbs to get back to where I was before I started getting…

would love some new active friends too!

less dairy, more flax and/or a magnesium supplement

is your mfp set to sedentary, lightly active or...?

Tinkerbell

lots of water, vit d, iron, b vitamins too. My chronic fatigue dr upped my medication by a 1/3 even though my numbers were 'right' and I feel much better now!

yup! we moved back to New Zealand from the US and I gained back all the weight I had lost. Hard to cook properly with limited kitchen etc while waiting on household goods, busy/laziness and just enjoying cadbury chocolate too much lol (didn't eat much chocolate in the US, I'm a kiwi and love my cadbury!!)

synthroid kept my levels ok except for T3 so I was switched to AT 5? years ago and it now keeps everything level unless something (everything) goes out of whack. Which actually just happened with me, I turned hyper after treating unknown low vit D and chronic low iron (I had been going to the dr for years saying I feel…

ah yes, those quest bars are disgusting. I don't know how people can make it through more than a bite, the after taste - yuck!!

ugh, even adding 500 cals for BFing my supply still suffered if I watched my diet and I didn't lose weight anyway, it starts to move after we stop Bfing, around 2yo. Hope you have better luck than I!!

when set to sedentary my fitbit gives me 300-400 extra cals for 10K steps so yours sounds accurate!

good for you!!

my stats are about the same. Was 132 when I got married, 210 or something after my second child 2.25 years ago and am now about 178, goal of 150 or so :)

any chance you also had your vit D checked? I thought it was my thyroid meds being low but actually my vit D was REALLY low. I feel heaps better after 3 weeks on supplements
