weigh every day but only log once a week

I was told your thyroid meds are working all the time, so it's not like it runs out by morning. So you should be good no matter when you work out. But I could be wrong, so putting my comment out there so I can read other's opinions on this as well. For me, if I miss a day of meds, I don't feel anything different, but I…

I was addicted to sweet tea. A glass here and there adds up to a lot of sugar. I stopped cold turkey, and it was tough. I now drink unsweetened and I'm used to it. I never was a big water drinker, so this helps me drink something with no sugar, but still beyond water. If you do drink it, log it. If you start to justify why…

When I eat out, I stay away from the bread, dinner rolls, etc. It seems that every place loves to offer you nice warm bread. I just skip it - figure there are a ton of extra calories in there that I don't need.

I weigh myself 2-3 times a day. the scale is there, so I hop on and see where I am. But, I only record my weight one day a week. I weigh myself the same time each week and that's the one that is documented. Mine goes up/down all day/week - so I just stick with the once a week. Good luck!

You look great! Congrats on your success!!

Good luck! The trick for me was to check in every day. Good or bad days, just log your food. After a few days/weeks it becomes a habit and you are used to it. I also check many things now before I eat them.

Unfortunately, everyone can have different effects from low/high thyroid. Just watch it over a period of time and track how you feel with it. The thyroid is such a little thing but can cause so many issues. even when you don't have one anymore!
