Hypothyroidism and Weight Loss
Hey ya'll. So, I just turned 20 years old, and I've recently made a huge change in my life... to revamp my relationship with food and exercise while I maintain my Hypothryoidism. As you may, it is sort of impossible to lose weight with this disease. I find it hard to do even when I am on my medication (Synthroid). Last…

NSV, but kinda sorta not? :p
Highlight of my week: I went to see my Doctor yesterday, which hasn't happened since February. I started my "fo real" weight loss journey in May at 250.8. I am now 210, maybe a little under. I wanted to see if February's weigh in was at 250... turns out I was 265! I had stopped drinking water from February on, and I guess…

Back to College: The results from friends
So, I started my weight loss, and lifestyle change, journey back in May. The middle of May to be exact. I was 250 something pounds, and completely out of shape. My goal was to lose 30 by the summer. I did that. Plus more! I was more excited to see what the response would be when I got back to school for my third year of…

Drove right by every fast food chain readily available!
So, I've been at this for about 2 and a half months, and I have BARELY eaten fast food. I had a kind of cheat dinner by eating some hamburger helper that my boyfriend made. Normally, I would be still hungry after only a cup and a half of it. I wasn't. As I was driving home, I found myself thinking "hey, I kinda want a…

Not my goal, but finally making it :)
It's certainly not my goal, but for once, I can see a difference. I just wanted to share, because I'm one of the many people on here who suffer from Hypothyroidism. Just wanted to say that YES IT IS POSSIBLE. I haven't been in the 220s since 10th grade :) I hope I"m not crazy in that I can see a difference, haha. Oh, and…

Weight Loss and our Partners
I’m trying to kill time at work, and I just thought of the perfect topic since it’s been on my mind for quite some time. How does your significant other feel about your weight loss? I’ve been with my boyfriend for two years, and DEFINITELY experienced that weight gain honeymoon period. About 40 pounds in a year. Even when…

c25k schedule
So I just started the c25k program last night (week 1, day 1, obviously). Will it kill me to run that program 4 or 5 days a week instead of just three? This probably has an obvious answer, haha, but I'm just curiuos if will help me at all.. progress into week 2.

NSV: American Eagle moment, ya'll!
I've never shared an NSV moment on here, so I thought I would :) It truly made my day. I'm a member of a Sorority, and it's tradition to wear a white dress/formal wear to a ritualistic event. I have had the hardest time finding a nice dress, because I hate wearing dresses in general, haha. Before I started this journey, I…

14 pounds lost, 41 overal. But where did it go?
Certain parts of me feel smaller, and tighter, but I still have a gut. It's so annoying :( Makes me feel like I've lost nothing. Gahhh. For those of you who lost a significant amount of weight for your body type, how did your weight loss play out in certain areas? I think mine has been my face, (now) my calves/thighs, and…

I can see my collar bones!
I don't think I have ever seen them -__- So I'm pretty happy about that :) Sorry, I just wanted to share my happiness and "Success" haha.

Over sugar - In my protein shake?
So, I'm on the Herbalife program, where I replace breakfast and lunch with a protein shake. I have snacks in between, so it's not like I'm starving. These shakes contain about 9g of sugar in each. I'm not even sure what kind of sugar it is. Anyway, by the time I get to dinner, where I can eat a full meal, I'm always over…

Cellulite or fat?
So, I lost about 20 pounds when I went back to school in January (go figure, right?), and then decided to make it a serious journey when I got back home. I just started a week ago, and i've lost around 5 pounds. I'm on my period now, so that sucks... you know the deal. Gain, blah. Anywho, before all of the weight loss, my…
