Celebrations are part of life. Just put it behind you and move on. Don't punish yourself.

Thank you all for your motivation :flowerforyou:

:laugh:

your face looks so different, can't wait to see the next photo where another 50 lbs have come off! Well done

Because it's lunch that you're having there you can still plan a light supper to make sure you don't go over you calories for the day. you can't just skip lunch and these situations happen in life. Veg pizza with half the cheese and only have a few slices, or have that salad and one slice from you whatever your kids order.…

Corn thins, they're like rice cakes but made with corn. With peanut butter, fills the gap just before gym so that I don't eat whatever's in sight after gym.

Firstly, well done on your commitment to wanting to be healthier. I would suggest that you add your food into the MFP data base to get a more accurate calorie count on what you're eating, all foods should have a table listing their caloric value. I too have hashimoto's hypothyriodism, which is an auto immune disease which…

I wear a sports bra and normal bra together as I have F cup boobs that will knock me out if I dont :bigsmile:

Well done!

Thanks for the comments

I think you need to learn to listen to your body, hunger is a good indicator that you need to eat, some days I'm hungrier than others and then I eat a little more than days when 1200 cal is enough.

Brown rice does stay a lot firmer than white rice, are you sure it's not cooked?

My thyroid is a huge problem as my weight comes off super slowly and drives me insane. I've never had a complete stand still of my weight before, 6 weeks not going up not going down! I record everything that passes my lips I'm very serious about getting this weight off. My clothes do fit a lot better and I have lost inches…

Please check my food diary of yesterday and see if my carb protein ratio is better, also how do you change that on MFP?

Thank you. Going to try less carbs and more protein.

The scale shows a number, but your clothes are telling you the true story. Enjoy the fact that you are smaller, no matter what the scale says.

you look great. Well done.

Had an awesome PARTY on Saturday and I was 11 lbs down from when I started on mfp. Now for the rest of the weight to come off. Happy birthday to my fellow Virgos

wishing you much happiness in love. <3

Happy birthday! You look great, kep it up. 40 and fabulous is better than 40 and flabby!

Go dancing the night away, no booze allowed just drink lots of water.

Have one and go for a nice de-stressing walk or run later. I find that if I say no to everything I land up over doing it sooner ot later, but if I plan for "cheats" I'm more in control.

Please eat a little more! At least 1200 per day minimum and on days you exercise eat some if not all of your exercise calories back. Your poor body is running on empty wondering when it's going to get fed again and hanging on to fat stores for dear life.

Awesome!

Drink loads of water too

It's what you eat without exercise, you eat back at least half of your exercise calories so the more you burn the more you eat.

Wow and here I thought I was the only one with hashimoto thyroidism! The meds help alot, but remember to get a blood test every year cause things change quickly with this disease. Good luck with the weight loss.

Lost another 2.2 lbs this week!!!! So happy. That brings me to 11 lbs in total and I wanted to lose 10 lbs by my birthday on the 3rd September. Eevery pound - lose from now until the 3rd will be a bonus!
