I also was having issues with fatigue and come to find out I have a thyroid problem, so if you really are tired and feeling worn down, a check-up by your dr may be what you need!

Left my husband last June, been concentrating on the kids and getting myself back together, so no valentine here either!! Definetly pamper yourself with something lol, mine has been new undies for me and a haircut!! Sounds crazy I am sure, but as a mom I really don't do anything at all for myself so that is where I started!

I have my brother and my sister, i think it does help!

I have the Mirena also and was just diagnosed with theyroid issues. If I may be nosy, what thyroid test did they do? I know I have had problems for years and my drs kept telling my thyroid was normal. New doc decided to test and she did a A1c, CMP, CBC and a complete thyroid panel. Lo and behold, my dr was able to tell my…

If I had a pedometer or step counter i bet i would hit it lol!!! Sounds like fun!

Same as one of the posters said I literally cut all sugar for almost a month, i use to crave something sweet every time i ate, i knew it was causing my weight issues or part of them. It was hard as hell but for a month nothing. Now I don't feel bad when I do have some occiasnal sugar its like i broke whatever was causing…

Way to go!!!

Yay! Don't it feel good that somebody notices?

And it has 4 ingredients thats it!! And I can read them!! LOL

Coffeemate makes an all natural one, not sure of calories or fat just yet, today is the first day i have tried it but it is good! 35 cal and 1.5 grams of fat for a TBS. Ok for me, that is worth it!!!

Way to GO!!

I was just diagnosed with underactive thyroid and my meds aren't where they are supposed to be yet, but it has helped me tremendously!! For me being tired all the time and eating things i shouldn't made it worse, I started on MFP orignally at 292, was undiagosed, and not really getting anywhere, went through a period where…

Mine and my childrens are to make ribbons out of it! Ingredients 1–2 medium zucchini 2–3 medium yellow squash 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper Steps Cut zucchini and squash thinly, using vegetable peeler, down length of squash until reaching seeds. Rotate squash…

I would say a good thing, you are not gaining! They say that weight loss during breastfeeding can change the taste of the milk and it turns some babies off. I didn't start losing any though until my daughter was weaned at 10 months (her choice).

yea we are a fam of 5 and we get away with 8.50? and that is all we spend

Awesome!! Thank you for all the ideas!! I do put lettuce in my salad also lol, didn't realize I left it out of my list lol, I usually use baby lettuce mix of romaine and various other leaves and things lol. I will definetly be trying some other liquid forms of breakfast and days I want food I have ideas for those!! Keep…

i too have had some success, really love it, but like the last person it must be a lifestyle change. It is doable to be honest I in a way follow some parts of it almost all the time, I just couldn't get implement everything all the time!

Awesome!! Way to go!!

Interesting, maybe I need to start on the oatmeal for breakfast habit again!

Don't know what brand you found, but Barney Butter is the best!!! It is an almond butter, check out their website!!

Me personally I would just work it in my daily calories, sounds like you are making it a helathier snack, some people just do really well with routine and sometimes with mediactaions a little bit of food is a good thing.

Depends on how thick or thin easiest way to tell I think is how much did you get? If you got a pound of meat, and have 16 slices, then each slice is an ounce. Basically 16 ounces are in a pound and by doing the math you should be able to tell how much each slice is. If you need more help let me know!

That is awesome!!! When I first read your post title I thought yea I am hiding fro mine too, I have never been this big in my life!! But what a wonderful surprise! Congrats on weight loss so far, and encouragement to you both, you can do it!!! Can you imagine the looks on their faces?

for the question would be did I sweat and get my heart rate up? Doing something like that can be very physical, and would burn calories!

Thank you for showing, not just telling. You have inspired me, I need to lose quite a bit, prob at least 100 lbs or more. For me the hardest part has been getting to come off, it doesn't seem to want to budge yet, but I am still making changes in what and how I eat, so I know my day will come. Again, congratulations and…

For me, if I have one it is a regular one or if possible one with real sugar, I stick to a 12 oz can and have no more than one a day, sometimes I have one, then go several days before another. Not the greatest thing to spend my calories on but sometimes, just gotta have one!!

You know that is what I was thinking, but then I thought this morning, I have such a supportive group, quite a few possibly want to lose weight too, so why not tell them what is starting to help me? To me, I think the more that know, the more determined i will be to not let myself down!!

Pita Chips! You can buy them ready made or make your own, they go great with hummus!
