You should have your levels checked about every 3 months or so. When I get my levels at a good level (when I actually take my meds) then I can feel a difference. You may want to take to a nutritionist as well. I used to work with a nutritionist and dietitian and she always told me that when someone has thyroid issues, then…

Good news is that you more than likely did not gain 6.5 of fat back. Drink lots of water and give it a few days. Also, you may want to think about upping your allotted calories. I lost 32 lbs but I really cut calories and just couldn't keep that up long term and ended up "snacking" my way back up. I was hungry still and I…

My son is on the spectrum (he's 8) and also considered high functioning. The past two years we choose to do a center for school which majority being ABA and some academics. As of today, he is in a "real school" where our goal is to mainstream him completely. I completely understand your frustration(minus the teenage years)…

If anything, I wouldn't cut your calories anymore. At the very least, up your calories. Look up BMR and TDEE using a calculator like scoobys fitness or iifym.com

Sent a request.....we have very similar reasons to lose this weight!

I always used the same excuse. Wait until Monday, the weekends are too tough. I can't start yet, the holidays are coming up (even if they're 2 months away!). There was ALWAYS an excuse. Now I tell myself that the days will pass no matter what, a year from now I can look back and say that I lost 20 lbs or I gained 20 lbs. I…

I'm so there with you. I quit the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, because I drastically cut all the "bad foods".....because that how I saw that then. And if i didnt exercise at least 6 times a week, then I also felt like I failed But I love the "bad foods" And I dont always make the time 4-6…

Mine is a mental NSV from yesterday. We went to McDonalds (because I am not cutting out foods I love) and I got a meal that wouldn't "push me over the edge", then my Mother-in -law got me an ice cream cone, then I finished my daughters hot fudge Sunday. How is this an NSV you ask? Because the last time I lost weight (32…

You weigh before :( It always makes me sad when the meat shrinks!! Hehe.

My son has autism and we did the gluten/dairy free diet for his behaviors and we didn't want to medicate. I will say he dropped weight so much it was crazy...he didn't look like the same kid after about 6 months, granted, he was not crazy skinny before we started. Just seeing the changes in his weight and his…

This is also my second time around....did great last year and now starting completely over :( This will be a better year! Feel free to add me!

We sound very similar, you can add me!

You can add me! I'm 32, two kids and more to lose than you but we all need the motivation! YAY on the running!

I got a pair of ear buds at walmart for $20.....they're JVC Marshmallow earbuds and kinda like memory foam. So they expand to fit in your ears. It also comes with two different size buds that you can switch out. I used to spend more time holding in my old ones than I did running. Now, they do not come out until I want them…

I like to make them with vanilla almond milk, sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon. I'm like you in that mornings, I do not want to cook :)

This is the best nsv I have EVER read!!!! You are awesome!

The only way that I drink enough water is that I keep a gallon pitcher of water in my fridge (I only like really cold water) And whenever my glass is empty, I just refill it. It was hard at first to remember, but now I find myself having to refill my pitcher throughout the day :)
