Hello everyone, I have been at this for a few years but a couple months ago I got really screwed up by medication. At that point I had lost 70 lbs and now have gained 50 lbs back.

AIP for Hashimotos?
I'm so frustrated and depressed over my weight situation. I've been diagnosed with Hashimotos and am on Levothyroxin.

Hashimoto's Disease - any suggestions?

Gluten Sensitive? IBS? Advice?
I'm going to the doctor Thursday but was asking for opinions or advice until then. I have a REAL problem with regularity and I don't know if this is an issue due to being sensitive to food or if it's IBS or what. Do any of you have a sensitivity to gluten?

Possible Plateau
Alright, I may be at a plateau. Any suggestions? I eat 1200-1500 calories a day, exercise many days a week, drink about 100 oz of water a day. So confused. I started dieting March 9 and am down 27 lbs so far. I would like to be down another 30 by December, but it seems like things are stalling and taking forever! Help?

Is 1800 calories a day too much?
I recently posted a topic about how I was unsure whether my calorie goal was too much. I used Scoobys calculator and it said for me to eat 1800 calories a day, this is with the deficit for weight loss.

Eating within calories and seem to be gaining weight
Hey guys, This may be a stupid question but I am generally asking this for a heads up. I have gained about 50 pounds in a year, due to a lovely double dose of prednisone (ugh), but have been back on track to losing weight for a little over two weeks. It seems this week, I have gained a little weight. I have been following…

Feeling Stupid as of Late
In the past two years I've had many problems with weight loss but here and there had successes. The only real success I had was when I was on this plan on MFP and not on a specific thing like Medifast/WW. I tried both, and just tried Medifast for the second time. My problem is that I couldn't stick to it. I know that…

Eating anything you want?
When doing this whole counting calories thing is it alright to eat anything you want as long as it's under your calorie range? Will I still lose weight? I exercise 5 days a week for about and hour and a half so I'm exercising as well. Power walking on the treadmill, biking, and weights.

New!
Hello! I'm Malarie. I'm on adventure to lose 40 pounds and get to my goal weight of 145. I hate being this weight currently because it limits me from a lot. I've lost about 15 pounds since last August but here and there have been on a seesaw of gaining weight and then losing it. I do musical theatre and they constantly eat…
