skim milk + 2 teaspons sugar + 1 teaspon cocoa powder = healthy hot chocolate

I am 5' 9'' and 42. I started MFP at 158, when I stopped logging I got to 162 and now I am around 154, trying to get to 150.

Nonfat fage greek yogurt plus sugar and cocoa powder, and if you can spare the calories, add peanut butter.

Thank you. Going to try those pumpkin muffins!

There is an MFP group: Totally Tall Women of MFP I am only 5'9 but joined them!

Nice!

I often just rinse my hair out to get the sweat out. Only use shampoo once or twice a week.

Yum

FYI everyone there is a thyroid disorder group on MFP!

I too am always cold. Went on a long-ish bike ride today and wore much heavier clothes than my friend, who took of her jacket halfway through! Now I've got a warm sweater, tights and boots on and its mid-60s outside and gorgeous!!

I'm 42. At first I just did what MFP defaulted to. Then my trainer (I lift weights 2x a week with her) suggested I eat more protein so I changed my goals to 40 30 30. That was too hard; too much protein, not enough carbs. So I switched to 50 25 25 and I am trying for that. It's still higher in protein. I do notice when I…

I take methimizole, 10 mg daily.

Therte is a group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/90-totally-tall-women-of-mfp

I'm Kim, a married working mother of two. I rowed crew in college and starting swimming masters swimming after college due to a back injury. Now I bike and run too, but swimming is still my favorite. Running is still quite difficult (and slow) for me. I am doing a half marathon in mid-March, mostly so that then in the…

Glad to find this group. I have Grave's disease and gained 10 lbs after taking the medicine (methimizole). I was about 10 lbs under my "nomal" weight for about 4 years while I was undiagnosed, and I liked it! I started on the meds a year ago and all 2011 had a terrible time losing the weight but am trying once again in…

I will friend you too. I also have Graves disease and joined MFP to lose the weight I gained on my anti thyroid meds! (Methimizole) I've lost a bit, but its going slow and is certainly difficult. I hired a trainer to do weights with her 2x a week and joined a half marathon training program to make sure I upped my workouts…

Proscuitto?

I havent shared with my kids what I am doing because I have a 7 year old daughter and I don't want to pass along to her my body insecurities. Mind you, I am "only" trying to lose 10 lbs so I don't think I am that unhealthy to begin with. But I do remember as a child, my mother was constantly dieting, constantly thinking…

When I was working out 45-60 minutes a day (and eating more carbs) I was gaining weight. Now I lift with a trainer twice a week for 60 minutes and do cardio 5 to 7 days a week for between 45 and 120+ minutes depending on the day and how much time I have. I think the difference now is I am eating more protein and fat…

I eat it with Trader Joes spicy peanut vinagrette on top, along with fresh clinantro, fresh basil, and some peanuts.

I started going to one in January and its been great. I go 2x a week and do heavy weights and she has helped tremendously. I used to be a college athlete so I think I know the form and stuff, but I was focusing too much on my arms and legs and not enough on my core, and I would lift for maybe 20-30 mins whereas with her we…

I am 5'9 and currently weigh 160. Goal weight is 150.

I'd love to join. Need to get from 160 lbs to 150 lbs!! I am a 42 year old married mother of two kids. I'm on an anti thyroid medicine that slows my metabolism so I am upping my exercise significantly and lifting weights with a trainer, as well as trying to eat more protein. Happy to find this group.

I am hyperthroid and was undiagnosed for a couple years. After diagnosis I got on anti thyroid medicine and gained 10 lbs that have been incredibly sticky. Which causes me to lose motivation -- ("If Im not going to lose the weight, why don't I just eat the dessert, because I don't really gain any more either." My MD said…

I wear a 10.5. Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and Zappos are my go-tos.

Good Earth Tea I make my own hot chocolate with nonfat milk, sugar and cocoa (and that whipped cream in a can) Sugarless gum I drink WAY TOO many diet cokes throughout the day. Addicted I think to both the sweetness and the caffeine.

Me too. I have been eating greek yogurt and almonds (fruit too) for breakfast.

I am hypothyroid (Graves disease) and on anti-thyroid meds, so sort of have the opposite issue. But a work colleage of mine is hyperthyroid and when her meds are off she is cold, heavy, low energy, etc. And when her meds are good, she loses a couple pounds, doesnt wear her sweater all day, and has much more engergy. For my…

I am 5'9'', CW 160 and current size 8. GW 150 puts me at a 6. Sizes have gone way down in the last decade or 20 years because in college I was 163 and a 12!! I am 42 now. I used to always be a size L but now usually buy a medium. I gain weight in my waist and chest, and really would love to be 150 by summer so my dresses…
