I was diagnosed with hypothyroid when I was 20 ( I will be 36 next week) I never gained weight from being underactive and I'm able to lose weight.. Please whatever you do, do not go off of your meds.. It's not safe and your thyroid controls your whole body .. Without meds, it can cause you to have major problems including…

Soon to be 36 in PA

I love this, you don't need a gym and the stairs can do wonders .. If I have loads of laundry I do find myself taking one load at a time just so I can go up the stairs more

It's always a challenge to change, we all get comfortable in our lives and what we know.. When I wanted to lose weight a few years back ( went back to school full time and gained 10 lbs) I had no clue or desire to count calories but was always aware of what I ate.. I never portioned out my food, so when I put myself on a…

I eat peanut butter every day BUT only 1 measured tablespoon and it's enough to put on a wheat flat bread or some fruit.. I hate that it has so many calories too but I love it..

I too love to have some beers on the weekend.. Especially in the summer when it's warm, but that's the only time I have them is on the weekends.. When I'm strict on stick to my calories during the week, I allow myself to have a few on the weekends and it never affected my weight loss, ( I never gained weight the following…

I want to lose a few pounds by summer, and yes my belly is my problem area.. I do a total body exercise with light weights.. I just go on you tube and so the fit sugar videos.. They are really good and target the whole body.. There are a few 40 min. Videos then there are a ton of 10 minute videos that you can choose and…

I also should add I go a decent pace, around 15.5-17.5

I also have a recumbent bike and I love it.. Personally I go by time , the more time, the more calories.. I never really pay attention to distance.. That's just me though, hope this helps

Do what's best for YOU, what makes YOU feel good, and if that means losing a few pounds and getting healthy, then so be it.. Don't let others get you down..it can be frustrating but stick with it and you will see the results you want..

I will be 36 in 2 weeks.. Feel free to add me

No problem and yes about a week out is when it starts for me.. But I read somewhere ( don't shoot the messenger lol ) that your body actually burns extra calories during this time.. I will have to research that more, it would be nice

I go through this during the time I ovulate or I'm getting close to start my period.. It's not every month sometimes every other that I'm starving, can't get enough to eat and nothing will fill me up.. It has to do with the hormone surges your body goes through during this time.. I hope this helps.. It's very frustrating…

I just started using fit sugar on you tube snd there are a few 40 minute full body workouts on there that uses light weights.. Really good workouts..

When I used MFP two years ago I didn't workout, just cut my calories and I did lose 10 lbs.. I was a full time student and a mother of two so between all the studying and my kids, I didn't have time.. So,yes I did lose it without working out

I too have Hypothyroidism.. I was diagnosed when I was 20 and my tSH was also a 10 back then.. Don't freak out, the doctor will put you on a daily medicine and monitor your levels . The meds will be lifelong and you should have to tAke it everyday.. That does explain your weight gain and other symptoms that you may have (…

I eat a tablespoon a day on a whole grain flat bread with a tiny bit of jelly.. I love peanut butter but hate all the calories so I cut it in half

Feel free to add me as well.. I'm on here a few times a day

Planning meals is a great way to stay on track.. I was a stay at home mom for 12 years and I noticed during the day whether it's playing with the kids or just cleaning up you tend to "forget " to eat and end up eating whatever is quick and available.. To avoid that I will make my breakfast while I'm drinking coffee then…

I too suffer with anxiety and is the reason why I will not go to a gym.. I have generalized anxiety and panic disorder but I tend to "panic" when I workout and I feel my heart pumping ( I know that's what it's supposed to do but I am very aware of my heart beat even when I'm not exercising).. I'm always thinking oh boy is…

There are muscles in ur chest under your breast.. You could have pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve in your shoulder or upper neck/ back area that can radiate into your breast.. Hope this helps

Currently Pa but have lived in La, Va, Ny and hopefully moving to Texas next year ( we are a military family and love moving)

I too workout at home, I get severe anxiety at a gym and it has nothing to do with people judging me, I just get bad anxiety .. I have discovered pop physique ( I don't think it's that new but I just heard of it) I started that today and I love it .. It's based off of Pilates which I also love.. I also do total body sculpt…

Im also 5'2 I currently weigh 122 and my goal weight is between 116-118... I will be 36 in a few short weeks, trying to lose the extra winter pounds and and to tone up before the summer.. Feel free to add me

Your a female, is it coming up in that time of the month or ovulation? I will eat myself out of house and home during that time.. It's horrible.. Just a thought..
