When I copied/pasted the url, it said the images no longer exists or has been moved. There's nothing wrong with having a little meat on your bones. It's when the over-abundance of meat or the lack of stamina which prevents us from doing the things we want to enjoy which causes problems. Based on the posts by people who was…

Just be honest with your roommates. As you said, you don't care or mind what they do, but the smell gets in your room and makes your physically nauseous.

HRT's are a much more REALISTIC approach to how your particular body is handling exercise. It doesn't matter if they're not 100% perfectly accurate! They're a heck of a lot more realistic than the calories burned numbers this site and others give us for the different exercises. They help alleviate the worry of over-doing…

My updates are on my ticker :)

darn! I see that I forgot to check in this week :( and I finally had a good week, too!!! :) lost 2 lbs :D I understand you won't be changing/updating the chart any more this week... but I'll be sure to post this weekend :)

Well, darn! I don't know if I should do another challenge like this or not! The first week challenge was to stay away from chocolate. I did just fine, as I seldom have chocolate. But after that week was over I started having chocolate ice cream every night!!! Ok... so no chocolate ice cream this week. ;)

I'm still in!!! :drinker:

YOU ROCKED 40 MINUTES ON THE ELIPTICAL!!!! Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!! Good for you! :D Nothing wrong with a burger now and then, so stop giving yourself a hard time about it :( You wanted it, you got it, now you don't crave it anymore ;) If it really bothers you, you can work it off with exercise over the next few days, or you'll do…

I too, have Hypothyroidism, and like you I am often tired. And I take my little pill every day. I believe one of the reasons I'm tired so much is when I don't have enough carbs during the day. Carbs give energy. So have your multigrain toast with breakfast. Enjoy a bit of pasta, rice or bread with lunch. And go easy on the…

Well, the last thing you want to do is drink on an empty stomach... so I completely disagree with cutting back on your food for the day. Alcohol on an empty stomach hits HARD, so it's just not worth it! I would exercise off the calories you gain by drinking. That way you still have plenty of room for eating well-balanced…

3/18: START WEIGHT: 164 (weigh-in day will be Fridays) 3/25: 165 (I know I'm retaining fluids the past couple/three days, but don't know yet why) 4/1: 4/8: 4/15: 4/22: 4/29: 5/6: 5/13: 5/20: 5/27: 6/3: 6/10: 6/17: 6/24: 7/1: 7/4: GOAL: 140

Treadmill, for sure. It's the one piece of equipment I keep going back to, year after year. Good walking shoes. My toes would go numb-tingly with my regular tennies. Since I got good walking and jogging shoes, no more numb toes. Iphone. I've got my fitness pal app loaded on it, and Couch to 5k. Just downloaded some upbeat…

Congratulations on your mission to stay healthy :) I suggest you look up the side effects of those birth control pills. It's entirely possible they are the cause. You're doctor won't mind if you share your concerns with him/her, so I'd just call and ask if it's a possibility and let him/her know you need advice. Welcome to…

Starting Weight: 164

I'm in too! :) I weigh in on Saturdays for a 7-week challenge I'm presently in. We have 4 more weeks to go. I'd love to have another group already lined up to keep me motivated and this one sounds like a perfect fit. I don't mind a bit changing to Fridays for weigh in, but it's been helping me keep tabs on my friday…

Just started it yesterday :) Tomorrow will be my 2'nd workout, skipping a day in-between. I've tried it before but could never get over the first week because I didn't realize you needed to skip a day. I'm afraid if I go at it too much that I'll either injure myself and have to stop for awhile, or just plain not enjoy it…

Right after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and started medication, I lost 10 lbs without making any changes at all in my diet or exercise. The harded thing I remember before my diagnosis was waking up in the mornings. It was a struggle getting out of bed and motivated in the mornings. It was like I literally had to…

WOW!!! It's a huge difference!!! You're close to halfway there! You're doing great and you're an inspiration :D Keep it up! :)

It's actually been very good for me to be in this challenge. I'm working out more than I would have, and much more consistently. For instance, yesterday was planned to be a rest day, but when I saw how my totals added up for the day I figured I'd better at least get in 20 mins on the cycle to knock it down some. After all,…

run/walk 2 miles this week... check! Will do :) So we don't just have a 7-week challenge? We also have weekly mini-challenges :) Oh! Like the first week we were supposed to avoid chocolate! I get it :) I missed what last weeks challenge was.

very encouraging! Thanks :) It sounds like soooo much fun! We live in the city (darnit!). But I've been thinking of getting out my bike. Since I can't get hubby to join me, I guess I'll have to do it by myself. All I could do is roam the neighborhood, but I may take a little detour across some grass and a hill now and then…

Well done!!!

I've been a member for about three weeks. I'm 5'5" and presently an uncomfortably snug size 12, now 165 lbs. My goal is to get back to my "in shape" size, which is between 135-140 (or size 8-10). I'm aiming for 140 first, which for my frame should be about a comfortable size 10. . At that time I'll decide if it's necessary…

That's a wonderful feeling!!! Congrats! :D

p.s. When you decide to have a burger, just think about trying a healthier version. Have it with mustard and/or ketchup instead of mayo. Ask for extra veggies on it, so it's almost like having a side salad with your burger :wink: You could leave the cheese off to cut some more calories, if you want. You could plan to work…

I'm really sorry you had a super rough day and am so glad you and your daughter are ok. But I was pretty disappointed with so many people telling you to have that burger. .. like a burger is a treat you deny yourself because you want to lose weight. You've worked really hard to learn how to make better choices. Today, I…

Great! How will I get back here. Where is the link? SW: 166 week 1 GW: 164 My goal is to consistently lose 2 lbs a week, for a total of -14 lbs for this challenge. :flowerforyou: I'm sort of expecting big changes right off the bat, because I usually have a couple glasses of wine or cocktails most every day after work, and…

New to the site. Been logging in foods and exercise for a couple/three weeks now, though have missed some days. Forgot that I'd signed up for this challenge... so glad I did!!! (I wondered how people were getting my name to add as friends and now I know!) :smile: Never done any kind of group or team challenges, so this…

Count me in :smile:
