at the weekend (11th march) I went to a Vegan food festival & I just gorged ( i mean seriously gorged) on free samples (loads & loads of chocloates) & other lovely healthy food on sale....decided not to log in at all for the weekend although i most probably walked for about 5 hours!!! up & down the stalls & the hills of…

as a very overweight vegan (yes we do exist!!!) I go over my daily sugar allowance everyday, but my sugar comes from fruits...I feel healthier for my vast fruit cosumption, i'm not a fruitatian as I eat processed junk ...I avoid sugar based drinks such as colas, my skin glows for a woman of almost 60 & despite my weight…

I have a chronic underactive thyroid condition so my weight loss is slow, but I only eat about 1500 cals aday & try to ignore the excerise ones (just walking to the station each day & some cycling at weekends plus loads of gardening) except at weekends when I go loopy on food & don't bother log in!!, I'm quite short at 5'8…

I get my blood tests done here in UK every 3 months otherwise I can't get my prescription, i gained 70lbs before i was told about my chronic condition..i can loose about 2lbs a month if I STICK to my daily allowance but it's a nightmare, I haven't gained any weight, it's just that I can't loose any quickly

i too have thyroid problems but despite being a healthy vegan who only eats 1500 cals a day, i can only loose about 2lbs in a month, i gained 5 stone in a less than a year, i'm short at only 5'8 3.4" & weigh a staggering 190lbs but through my fitness pal & monitoring what i eat I haven't gainesd any weight since starting…

good luck with your target, initially it is a pain to weigh out fresh ingriedients & educating yourself to drink more water is quite hard = I am 70lbs over weight but I have a chronic deteriorating thyroid condition which makes loosing weight very hard so I stick to my daily calories very strictly & although I'm not…

as a vegan I already eat more than 10 a day lol but I am concerned that I am going over on my daily 'natural' sugar allowance, i inteNd once the warmer weather here in UK comes at the end of Aprilt o go raw to 4...so that means I will be eating about 20 a day fruit & veggies ps i suffer from a chronic underactive thyroid…

Hello I’m 57 years old, I was a vegetarian for 40 years, but lapsed badly when I was pregnant 26 years ago, & recently I’ve become Vegan (May 2015) for 60% dietary & 40% ethical empathy reasons, I need to lose at least 5 stone, but having an under active thyroid doesn’t help matters, I also suffer from very high blood…

welcome back, I'm weak at logging in at weekends as I try to avoid using the internet too much.....:drinker:

I too feel defeated, I've only lost 10lbs since April, my target is 100lbs in 2 years, from 196 to a very healthy 96 (the weight I was when 9 months pregnant 34 years ago), I have other medical issues such as under active thyroid which slows down my weight loss, suggest maybe you have this checked out at your Doctors...at…

a few years ago I'm 56 now!!!! luckily I've inherited my mothers hair quality, she really only went fully grey a few years after she had cancer and she's 74 now

my pee is often purple from eating beetroot!!!:bigsmile:

i drink also too much tea due to work desk boredom, i have from today increased my water intake, i prefer sparkling water to still water, but both have to be ice cold, just don't like warm water

snippets of 20K of i-tunes songs - I wiped my laptop back to factory settings recently, so I'm currently transferring all my music from a portable hard drive back into i-tunes library - just heard The Ramones 'rock'n'roll radio'....this has truly set my mood to mow the lawn

i thought I would have lost more as I literally cut all my fave dreaded 'c' foods from my1st week, I've just started to weigh my ingredients properly, I was guessing how much olive oil I was using, and my handful of nuts ( i have big hands) maybe ahd more calories than what the calorie checker brings up. how do you get…

I'm 56, just hit the panic button from being over weight to obese, I need to loose 100lbs (2 year plan) and have medical issues, one which prevents me from going to the gym, I joined MFP a week ago & am upset that I only lost 2lbs, so I've now reduced my daily calorie allowance

your story touched me! WELL DONE = certain aspects of your story mirrors mine, I've just started my journey with a lot of bi-polar thoughts, under active thyroid & years of being a serial comfort eater...your pictures are wonderful & sometimes nasty troll like comments in your life can be the kick start we all need. WELL…

i'm not a serial killer just a serial comfort eater (oops):love:

suggest getting your thyroid tested, I have an under thyroid, the reason why i can't loose weight quickly is partially due to that and i had mini stroke last year so I can't exercise as much as I would ALSO (THIS IS THE MAIN REASON) I'm a serial killer and despite being a veggie I gorge on cheese, crisps, chocolate & cake,…

Hello 56 5’8 ½ (I used to be 5'9'') SW: 199 GW: 130 (although in my dreams 119) I have the oddest body shape ever, sort of square Lives in Southern England, vegetarian addicted to crisps, cake, chocolate & cheese, suffers from underactive thyroid & 50% mobility in my upper arms

ty

I'm also obese, need to loose ten stone, I'm a vegetarian with a big appetite especially cheese, chocolate & crisps (the bad three), I also suffer from an under active thyroid and only have 50% use of my upper arms (I use to surf. fence, cycle & run), I'm nearly 60 with still quite a young family (older mother syndrome),…
