I have about 18 to 20 to go as well. Added you :)

Great job!!

Awesome job! I agree with the above poster regarding the gradual change. I have lost 50 pounds and am now just staying to acknowledge a big change. You look awesome though!

Congrats!!

How new people that come into your life can have such a profound impact on you and your journey. For me it is the folks that are helping me with nutrition and fitness counseling as well as new friends that I have met at the gym or other athletic endeavors. The support from some of these folks has been overwhelming. Also…

Congrats on your loss! I am getting that too and I am still 11 pounds away from hitting the upper end of my bmi and there is no doubt I still have some to lose. I am not sure if people are used to seeing me heavy or what the deal is. I take it as a compliment and keep moving forward :).

I am 45 and have lost 46 pounds. It is definitely doable you just have to stay committed and consistent!

I use my fitbit for everyday stuff but take it off when I exercise. I do not eat back exercise calories, or sometimes very few of them. It wasn't until I made this change that the pounds started coming off. Exercise calories are way over stated in my opinion which gets dangerous. For example, if I wear my heart rate…

Awesome! Great job!

Great job! Very awesome story.

Way to stick with it! Thanks for the inspiration :).

Great job you look fantastic!

I have nodules also just had a biopsy of one last week. Benign thank goodness! No idea about size

Keep at it. And log and track. I just got off a stretch of hyper and I am now borderline hypo with some other issues going on. My tsh was 3,.6 down from 4.3 a month ago. I am not on meds. As my endo thinks things will level out and I have no or very minor symptoms. I do have hashis also. He said many people with hashis…

Gdtaf.org is another good resource. But as the previous poster said take some of the advice with a grain of salt. I had a thyroid biopsy last week and had read many stories about how horrible it was and what pain it caused. It didn't hurt me at all. Everyone's journey is different. The only real advice I can give you is…

i agree. must log. must be honest.

Good luck! Keep us posted.

Your numbers are a bit confusing to me as your tsh almost seems hyper while the t4 seems hypo but I am no expert by any means. I am now borderline hypo tsh 3.6,was 4.3. I feel fine and have been losing slowly through diligent tracking. I just came off a bout of hyper from thyroiditis. Not fun. Good luck and find a good…

You should definitely seek out an endo. Good luck!

This. Thanks for the article. It is great and dead on. I do have to argue the medical piece at the end though. Having my thryoid go hyper due to thyroiditis a couple months ago, I lost 10 pounds in about one week because my metabolism was out of control. this is very rare however, and mostly when the scale is not reacting…

Great job to both you and your wife!

Hi everyone, diagnosed with thyroiditis a few months ago. Started out hyper now normal waiting to see if I go hypo. That is the normal course from what my end told me. Being hyper was a horrible experience. Feel free to add me as well.

great job you look amazing!

Hi Vismal recently found this thread and your videos. Great information. Thank you for all the great advice! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. 1. I recently watched your video abouy determining your macros. When doing the math I came up with different numbers then mfp. I am assuming mfp is not as concise. The…

I will jump in on this challenge. I will try for 350 miles for the month.

Good Luck you know what you need to do since you already did it once. I am also a ww who is thinking about switching over here completely. Seems to be a great place and the cost is right :) feel free to add me.
