wow!! Looking great.

Thanks everyone for your input. Just needed clarification. I knew that carbs were sugars and the book said there was no need to count sugars because they were already added into your total carbohydrates. Maybe I need to talk to my doctor and see what she says I need to do. :)

I actually had a steak tonight and it was a 10 oz tbone. I googled it and it had 479 calories without the fat, 22g fat, 170mg sodium, 66g protein. Hope that helps!!!

Don't like it when I get addicted to something and then they take it away...LOL!!! Been like this all day :cry:

That is usually the time of the month that I give up on the whole diet thing, but this time I took my motrin and sucked it up and exercised. Believe it or not I felt better after i exercised than before :)

Do some research on aspartame poisoning and see if it's really worth giving up!!!

That is awesome!!! Praying for you :)

If I remember correctly my TSH level was 7 or 8

I would starve to death if I did that. I am a BIG MEAT EATER. I'm not satisfied with a meal if I don't have meat!!!:bigsmile:

I have hypothyroidism and was diagnosed in December of last year. Until my doctor put me on Levothyroxin 25 mcg, 50,000 iu of vitamin D a week, 1000 mg of B 12 a day it was impossible for me to lose weight. I lost 14lbs in 2 months and then I just got lazy and didn't want to list every little thing I ate. Two nights ago I…

I think Doctors have gotten out of control prescribing the medication to people to begin with. The medication was intended for people that had high blood pressure, diabetes, seriously over weight or other health issues and needed to lose weight fast. Now if you need to lose 10 lbs go in and they will give it to you.

I couldn't take it myself, it made my heart feel like it was going to beat out of my chest. I have a friend that has been taking it for about 3 months, but has been working on losing weight since October and has only lost 50 lbs. The phentermine really curves your appetite, but not a real biggie on helping shed the pounds.…

I drink 12oz of water at a time and it has been hard for me to drink the 8 cups today. I feel like i'm going to get sick from drinking so much. There is just no way I can drink 2 cups of water with each of my meals, so I totally understand where you are coming from.

So sorry this has happened to you. Maybe your friend can find a place in her heart to forgive you. We all have opinions about things and we should never get upset when someone post their opinion and what you posted was just that YOUR opinion. Evidently it struck a nerve to those that felt the need to lash out at you. There…

WOW Such an amazing change. I started at 264 so hopefully when I get to 218 i'll look as great as you. Good luck!!

I always do an 1800 calorie diet. 1200 Calories isn't nearly enough for anybody. My moms cardiologist put me and her on a 1500 calorie diet and my family doctor was highly upset and said no less than 1800 and I am over 200 lbs. I lost 14 lbs the first 2 months doing it on my own, but I decided to join MFP to get motivated…

I also take synthroid but a low dose everyday along with 50,000 iu of Vitamin D a week and B-12. A few months ago I started an 1800 calorie diet on my own and lost 14 lbs in 2 months, but I could not get motivated. Both my doctors recommended nothing less than 1800 calories and i'm over 200 lbs. I dance as my exercise and…

That is awesome!!!:smile:

Seriously need to lose the weight. I always go a month and will do great, but after that i get disgusted and quit.. Gonna try this for a while and see how it goes. I have a busy life and I always give up because I don't have the time to actually sit down and put in every little thing I eat. Guess I just need some…
