I'm glad you are getting a little bit of help & congrats on going off the beta-blocker. I'm still waiting on my endocrinologist's apt, it is 1 month from today. I'm definitely not hitting 1500 calories a day. I've been staying between 900-1100 the past 2 weeks. I've not gained like I was, but I'm not loosing anything…

Good luck Janette! This is definitely an area that is not easy to adjust to! Thanks Alesha! You are doing great on the weight loss! I'm not starving myself, I'm actually eating a lot but everything I do eat is super low in calories. Oatmeal, vegetarian chili, etc. I am not having no food, I'm just limiting the food I'm…

Great idea! I've never thought of doing that one!

I'm just going through the process of doing all of these tests & it is irritating & confusing. I feel most of the reference sites I've been to are not helpful whatsoever! Thank you all for responding!

Also, thank you all for helpful reading materials!

Sorry all, I completely forgot about posting this yesterday... Forgetful, did I forget to mention my memory is horrible! I've been reading a lot about basically what you should do if you have/ think you have hypothyroid problems... Everything I've read says avoid soy products (that is something prior to this I knew I over…

I feel as though people like to take their focus on their unhappiness out on here, which is now why I am so selective as to post anything/ reply to anything at all. Heaven forbid with some of the people on here that your thoughts conflict with their thoughts. Good luck on your weight loss journey! I'm sending lots of…

There are so many things.... If I went outside by myself at night those aliens wanted to get me, and beam me up. That there was a reality TV show based off my life, and I didn't know about it. I am pretty sure I gave someone the idea for the Truman Show movie. That my Sister was actually my Mom, and she didn't want me as…

This is such an amazing post! I want to put it somewhere I can see it every day!

I usually do a few almonds about an hour prior to work out. Also, I drink lots of water.

You are an inspiration!!!! Congrats on an incredible milestone!!!!

If you are up for making your own oil and vinegar with a packet of the powder ingredients for ranch is AMAZING!

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. I just finished a liver detox (yes, I like to drink), and now after a few nights of staying up too late & having 3-4 drinks (something that would usually make me feel bad the next day), I feel fine & incredibly productive the next day. It has been this way the…

It might sound crazy, but I have the same problem.... What has helped me more than anything has been exfoliating with a sea salt scrub after I shave under my arms when I shower & then put on my deodorant. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.

Great job!

It is one of my favorite foods. Broccoli is not a good comparison, it really has its own distinct taste. I like it grilled, steamed, in my soup, or to accompany any dish. It really goes well in pasta & that might be a good way for you to start. I prefer the vegetable pasta when I add asparagus to it. Happy dinning. I hope…

From everything I have read it states how stress does cause the body to hold onto fatty deposits. However, congrats for doing everything you are to overcome it. I had a friend who went through something similar, and she said her life changed after she read the "Happiness Project." She no longer deals with those urges & has…

Great idea!!!

Good luck!!! The only thing I would say is maybe your walk/jog could be outside... This way you'll get a little bit of a scenery change & it is always good to have a friend meet you to walk. You can be social & get your exercise in at the same time. Everything else sounds like so much fun!!! Have a blast!!!

I've always heard take your weight and divide it by 2. That is how many ounces of water you should have each day. Soda, tea & milk do not count as water. Sorry! I did not care for water for a few years, but after a month or so of making myself drink it I started to really like it. I now exceed the water requirements most…

Congrats!!!! What an amazing story!!!! I'm glad you've got someone in your life that will be as honest as Jackie was with you. Those people are rare in life!!!!

Thank you!

I drink more water than most people I know (anywhere from 80-100 oz a day), and have a decently healthy food habit (the only meat I eat is fish & I do not eat any sweets). My problem is limiting the quantity, and I love my adult beverages. Thank you all so much for your comments, but some of you could tone it down a few…

I'm in! CW- 190 GW-140

If I do 10 burbies every morning I have more energy throughout the day.
