  • Gnc recommended this to me due to my hypothyroid condition a few months ago. I bought it but placed it in the bathroom and forgot all about it. I finally started taking it this week. Prior to now, I was eating healthy and exercising daily and was not dropping ANY weight at all (story of my life). I have lost 3 lbs this…
  • Thank you! I could not figure out why they would not show. I appreciate it!
  • I'm an Active Duty Coast Guard OS too! Where are you stationed?
  • Thanks everyone :) I really appreciate the response. I grew up with a mother who has a non-functional thyroid and a younger sister who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when she was very young (She wasn't growing. She was TINY for the longest time). Neither of them have ever struggled like I do with weight issues, but it…
  • I was just diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in May. I grew up with a mother whose thyroid was nonfunctional, and a younger sister who was diagnosed when she was around 7 years old. I guess I've always expected it to hit me one day (I used to think it just skipped me!) so I wasn't surprised when the doc called with my blood…
  • I changed my food log so that it logs from 6 AM to 6 AM. I work 12 hr shifts, and it is either 6 AM to 6 PM or 6 PM to 6 AM, so a 24 hr log really helps when I am switching back and forth from nights to days.
  • I just started up again today, so hopefully this challenge will help me! SW: 189 CW: 189 GW: 184 (for the challenge, at least) Weigh in Dates: 11/1: (11/2) This week, I am thankful for having the ability to fall asleep. 11/8 11/15 11/22 11/30
  • I'm from Melvindale, Michigan (just south of Detroit) but I am currently stationed in Louisville, Kentucky.
  • Active Duty United States Coast Guard here :) Operations Specialist Second Class (OS2/E-5) and I'm stationed at Sector Ohio Valley in Louisville, Kentucky.
  • I use EA Sports Active 2 for the Xbox 360. I've used it for about 2 months and even though I love it, I can no longer rely solely on that game for my exercise goals, but it is fun and could be used to supplement another workout!
  • Hi all, My name is Corey! I'm completely up for completing this challenge with every one of you :) I am starting up again after months of not being on this site. I quit smoking and gained back a ton of weight, so I'm back on the track again and I think something like this would help me tremendously. I am at work this…
  • I weighed in at 167.2 this week :)
  • I feel very proud to be an American AND a member of the Military today! I say thank you to all of my fellow servicemembers!
  • I maintained at 168.8 this week, unfortunatly. but i'm holding on to extra water weight this week, so i'm going to push into week 3 at full force! i just started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, and i'm on day 3 so...lets see what another week does!!
  • I work as an Operations Specialist in the United States Coast Guard. I sit for 12 hours a day in a Command Center. We are basically the 911 operators/dispatch for the Coast Guard. You know on TV when people call "Mayday" on the radio? Well, i'm the one who answers. I also maintain situational awareness for my area of…
  • this week: 168.8 Last week: 170.2 Not exactly 2 pounds, but i'm working on it!!
  • I use the Xbox 360 for my workouts sometimes, using the Kinect. The workouts are very simple but effective and get my heart rate up. I can't do some of the work-out DVDs because all of the jumping around hurts my hips. Granted, if you don't have an Xbox already, I don't suggest you go buy one JUST to workout. They are…
  • If it is really terrible you could try to drink milk of magnesium for quick relief, but do not depend on laxatives to help you to lose weight or to go to the bathroom. Every once in a great while is fine, as you should clean out your body anyway. I find that the Milk of Magnesium helps me if I haven't gone in a while and I…

  • I'd be up for an accountability partner :) That is my hardest problem with my weight loss. I need someone to ask me how i'm doing every day, and to push me to do better too.
