I lost lots of weight fast just by focusing on lower carbs...no more than 100 day for 2 weeks and then slowly up'ed it to 120 a day :) I lost 11 pounds in one month with just that change :)

Yup...I'm addicted to sugar :( I try not to go with any of the fake stuff though - because my body does not like it. Although Truvia is not bad because it is natural. I've even cooked and baked with it and everything turns out great :) I prefer real sugar and so I would rather go with a tablespoon of hagaan dazs…

For Cereal try Frosted Mini Wheats - it's the only one I found when I had pre-eclampsia that had no sodium...the cinnamon streusel one is my favorite :)

Yes! Good job on the weight loss....I'm down 21 pounds. I also have hypothyroidism :( What advice do you need?

Good luck!! I did not change my diet to lose weight - but that is a side effect (and benefit) :) watching what I eat and focusing on carb reduction is helpful! I have PCOS and have been following: 15g carbs for breakfast (a piece of earthgrains 35 wheat toast + peanut butter - and a bit of almond milk to wash it down) 15g…

Hello! My recommendation is look at what you are eating - i.e. the composition of carbs to fats to proteins. Over the last month I limited carbs to no more than 100 a day and lost 15 pounds just by doing that!!!! I'm slowly going up to about 120g carbs a day because I'm exercising more. I eat about 1200 calories a day…
