1. day one that I did a 20/4 fast. 2. how will it affect my hypothyroidism?

I am starting again....my goal is to lose 50 lbs but I am starting with small amounts first 5 lbs at a time...today I am going to begin 20/4 fasting....I hope this helps me break my addiction to food and learn that I only need food to sustain. My husband did fasting and he lost his weight...hoping for results.

I am going to revamp what i am eating, stop snacking after dinner and drink WATER, I also asked my doctor to switch me to an all natural thyroid medicine called Armour,hopefully all things combined will help me lose this weight.

I had a victory this week 4 lbs!!!....I'm 43 and will lose these 43 lbs....it's nice to be motivated and make good choices...I hope I can keep this up.....although I will adjust to lose only 2 lbs per week...I have to remember moderation is best.... Feel free to add me as a friend, I love to do the 30 day challenges with…

I have had no issues with 1200 calories a day, in fact when my head is in the game I am left with 500 calories at night to find something to eat....I drink lots of water and it fills me up! I never thought that 1200 might be too low for some people, hopefully you find what works for you!

I eat almost the same thing each day. A banana for breakfast, Greek yogurt for lunch, normal size portion for dinner and then I allow myself a snack at night. I do not believe in low fat foods as they tend to substitute for extra sugar.....as long as you eat in moderation, moderate portions you will lose the weight!

I just began this process 2 days ago and already see a difference on the scale. I didn't know that there was a name to my method! I am just not hungry in the morning and it seems once I start eating I am even more hungry. So now I eat some cottage cheese at 1 for lunch and save the rest of my calories for nigh time. I eat…

I live in Maine and love Gifford's Old Fashion ice cream! My favorites are blueberry, mint chocolate chip and raspberry!

I smoked for 20 years...2 1/2 years ago I quit smoking and switched to an electronic cig....then 1 month ago on May 10th I quit using the electronic cig and now I use a 7 mg patch. Since May 10th I have lost 5 lbs. My method is a long process but it is what works for me, I have tried so many times before and failed, I feel…

IMO I am 30 lbs over weight because I made poor choices. I now have lost 5 of those pounds because I made better choices. I now eat a very healthy breakfast and lunch and smaller portions for supper. I also walk 2 miles per day. I have found if I just keep slightly under 1200 calories per day and slightly under my macro's…

I am 5'5" and in the process of losing 33 lbs....I have already lost 5! I do not believe in special diets for me, I believe that if I make healthy choices and don't over indulge with a little exercise then I can lose the weight. I might only lose 2 lbs per week but at least it's being done in a healthy way and I feel those…

thank you everyone for the input, I really appreciate it! I am just going to keep plugging away and shedding the pounds, attempting cardio for 30 minutes a day and see what happens to my body! What an adventure :wink:

Thanks for the help ladies....I too an not a strict dieter, in fact am I really dieting if I am just choosing healthier options and lowering my intake?

I am up to 181 lbs and looking to go down to 147 lbs.....When I stick to it....I eat slightly under my 1200 calories per day, keep slightly under all the macro's that MFP has set up for me, I walk 30 minutes a day and drink 4- 16.9 oz bottles of water each day...at night I set aside 10 minutes to use my 5 lbs weights or…

I do not wear one to bed, my VS bras are all under wire but I do not take it off until it's time for bed. I was told not to wear on to bed. I am busty girl but whatever you feel most comfortable with!

This is what works for me...when I follow it....I track all my food on MFP and stay a little under all the macros, I also find time to walk at work for 30 minutes (I get 2 15 minute breaks), at home I take 10 minutes each night to either lift some 5 lb weights, use my jump rope or hula hoop...I too am busy with full time…

What works for me is to not go over the macros set up with myfitnesspal and to walk 2-3 miles per day, I do not eat back my calories from exercise....when I stick to it, I have fabulous results! Eat less calories and the weight will come off....it takes time but I can successfully lose 1-2 lbs per week.
