Sixty Pounds Lost! Before & After Pic!
Two years ago, I was the heaviest I've ever been. I wasn't pushing 200lbs, I knocked it over. I have struggled with my weight my whole life and finally, I was done, I was just over it, I was sick of being the chubby/thick/curvy/fat/whatever girl with a pretty face. So I changed. Over the past two years I've integrated real…

Hypothyroidism- Medication Vs. Hollistic Approaches.
I was recently diagnosed with a form of Hypothyroidism know as Hasimoto's. I have not yet begun medication, but have been prescribed a low level hormone, levothyroxine.

When are you due?! Uh... I'm not pregnant.
anyone else have this horribly awkward moment? Once I work I booked an appointment for a client a few months out. When she was leaving she says, 'see you in a few months! You'll be bigger then!' At first I blankly stared then I was horrified to realize she thought I was pregnant. I'm not sure who felt worse, her or me, but…

Started with live strong and now I'm here!
I started my weight loss journey and lifestyle change in November 2010. I started at 228lbs and have lost 35 lbs since (with some ups and downs). My trainer suggested I switch to MFP and already I'm loving it! Live strong is great for some things but MFP fills in what LS left to desire. Hoping to make some new friends,…
