My son is 7 and has always been picky. He will eat meat but not veggies and won't try new things, and at 7 I certainly cannot force him to eat. What I cook is for dinner and that's it. I would never go out of my way to make/buy something that he will eat. My daughter will try most things and choose to eat it or not. At…

Don't forget real sugar is bad for you too.

Nope. My TSH and weight have been creeping up since February.

How well was your hypothyroidism managed? As my TSH climbs my weight follows but my doc doesn't want to increase my meds. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. Any advice?

Not to sound snarky, but just don't buy it. Originally i switched to flavored seltzer but then stopped buying that and now drink water or add some diet decaf iced tea mix to it.

Could you pay a 12 or 13 y.o $5 to watch your kids while you run? What about your ex watching them for an hour a few times a week? I'm a single mother too but my kids are 5.5 and 7.5 and are in school.

For me since I can pinch it, it's skin, not muscles. I had the pooch going from 180-140 before pregnancy. It did not increase in size after my c-sec. :(

I doubt the pooch is from the c-sect. More likely it's from pregnancy or weight gain.

20lbs with #1, 19lbs with #2

Have you tried tracking your sodium? Could be water retention. Also do you weigh your food or just guesstimate?

60 min treadmill (C25KW4D2 + 11min extra running +walking to make 60min)

I did W4D1 today and it was hard. Not sure if it was mostly mental or physical? The two 5min runs were hard. I did it and also added W2D1 as I skipped cardio yesterday. I survived.

The pricier ones allow you to compute your VO2 max to accurately calculate your calorie burn. The others guesstimate it. Unless you are looking to have your BMR professionally calculated and use your calorie count to maintain your current weight, a guesstimate from the machine you are working out on is close enough.

I weigh and log it raw. i usually grill so there are no oils to add.

I'm in. I started two weeks ago. I finished W3 but don't feel like I am ready for W4, so may repeat W3.
