I have a mild thyroid issue that doesn't require medication, but does make losing weight a struggle. I've found that short spurts of exercise throughout the day rather than one intense workout helps a lot. Good luck to you!

I love breakfast food! However, I've started only eating fruit for breakfast so I occasionally have breakfast for dinner. I eat 300-500 calories worth of fruit every morning depending on how hungry I am, what kind of fruit I have on hand and how long of a walk I take in the morning.

I log everything I eat, and most of it is veggies and fruit. I like to see how much more I can eat of the good for you stuff than the bad stuff, it helps keep me motivated.

I'm the kind of person who's motivation stems from supporting and motivating others, so I absolutely have fallen in love with this site since joining just 10 days ago. I lost 30 lbs prior to joining, and was starting to lose the drive, but having all of the wonderful people on MFP to interact with who can relate is so…

I've been a member at a few different gyms, and when I asked how to use the equipment they were nice enough to show me, but there wasn't a "program" or anything (of course there was an offer to pay for a personal trainer). But that was never really the main issue with me. I just hate gyms. I hate the smell, i hate the…

I feel your pain! I absolutely hate the gym, and always have. Even when I was one of the "skinny minnies", I just always felt out of place. I use to get so anxious and it would just ruin my work out. I was embarrassed by not knowing how to use any of the machines, and would tend to only stay for 20 minutes tops. I wish I…

ha! You sound like my mom! Except she's 64. Whenever one of her kids (I'm the youngest of 3) has a birthday she says "It's so weird how you all keep getting older, and I just stay the same age." Her favorite quote is "You don't stop laughing because you get old, you get old because you stop laughing." I genuinely believe…

fantastic!

I eat fruit only for breakfast, usually a banana is included. I am constantly over my carb and sugar goals for the day, but since it's all from fruit I don't worry about it. The benefits I've received from eating lots of fruit (more energy, clearer skin, better sleep) makes me confident that fruit is not the enemy. I…

FRUIT is the answer! Eat fruit for breakfast. I cut out all sugar for about 6 months, including fruit and honey, due to an issue related to sugar. The first weeks were awful, then the next few months were great, then I started feeling angry and tired all the time. Even worse, I was breaking out worse than when I was in…

I eat both equally. They have different important nutrients, so you're doing nothing but good by eating them both. All dark green veggies are very nutrient dense, low calorie foods. I honestly go with whatever is cheapest are the grocery store-right now kale is 99cents for a bunch at Kroger so I'm obviously getting more…

I'm also 5'10, I lost 30 pounds before anyone noticed, including myself. If you're like me, you gain and lose weight all over, not just in you torso. I finally noticed my pants were getting loose and got on the scale and shocked!

GREAT WORK!!! Before you know it, you'll be posting "Under 100" pics! ;)

What are you eating for breakfast? Of course breakfast is the most important meal of the day and all that, but what you eat can really affect your energy. I cut my last bad habit, energy drinks, out 3 weeks ago and started eating fruit only for breakfast, and lots of it. My energy levels are better than ever! I sleep so…

I sent you a request! WELCOME!

My brother was really into juicing for a while. He even did 27 days straight with juice alone. He found it beneficial to helping with non-weight related health issues (headaches, muscle aches, drowsiness) . However, when you juice all of the fiber ends up in the pulp, so I think a better idea is to blend the fruits and…

Keep up the good work!!! Thank you for the very inspirational post!

If you haven't been tested what makes you think it's a gluten sensitivity? Just curious. It could likely be something else, and if you cut out gluten for a substantial amount of time and it turns out that wasn't the problem, when you add it back you could have created a problem. Only 1% of the population has celiac disease.

Wow! This brings me back to my high school days dancing. I was 5'10, weighed 135 lbs, but I had large boobs and a booty. I remember feeling fat most days at practice because the other girls who were my height were toothpicks. I ended up quitting when I was 17 because I felt so out of place (one of my bigger regrets in…

Are you gauging your goal off of what the site says? The suggested protein on my "goals" is higher than what I actually need following the formula my nutritionist sister-in-law suggested : men and women over the age of 19 should get at least 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (or 0.37 grams per…

Keep telling yourself that it's better to lose weight slowly and keep it off than to lose it quickly just to gain it back! I had already lost 30 pounds before joining this site a few days ago (over the course of 4 months), what plan are you following? Feel free to add me on here!
