re-committing
Today there's officially less than ONE year until my wedding. Since June, I've lost about 20 pounds, so i'm half way there. Felt AMAZING when a couple of days ago, one of my neighbors looked at me and asked me what i've been doing & that I look totally different. Losing the weight has been a constant struggle. It's…

SO MEAN
My fiance and I were deciding where to treat ourselves to go out to brunch today, and there's this amazing "upscale diner" that has great food, but it's not the best for you. I said I didn't want to go there today because what I got would be too high in calories, so he asked me when we were ever going to go there again…

Hypothyroidism/Hasimotos
Hi all, I have had Hasimotos for as long as I can remember. I take over 100 mg of levothyroxin every day, but I feel like the weight is so slow to come off. I already KNOW that this is a result of the thyroid disorder, but does anyone know of anything else that could help with weightloss besides diet & exercise?

Starvation Mode 2
OK, looked at older posts, I think I generally understand the concept of what it means to put your body into "starvation mode". So now, I'm just wondering, how the heck it is possible for someone flabby like me (plenty of love on my handles to share) who is almost 30 lbs overweight (BMI= 27.8, BMR=1,470) to possibly ever…

Disappointed
I don't understand why this happens. I ate SO well yesterday, got on the scale this morning, and gained almost 1.5 pounds. I seriously am baffled, and feel really defeated. Why does this happen!?

Shedding for my wedding
Hi all! I am getting married in 15 months, having a wedding @ a resort in Mexico, and I want to lose about 35-45 pounds. I am 5'4, and I started my journey weighing in at 176 (mid-May) and now in the 1st week of Aug I am weighing in at 161, so a 15 pound loss. It's pretty hard for me to lose weight b/c I have Hasimoto's…

Random NSV
On my way out the door to work this morning, one of my neighbors stopped, looked at me, and said " You've lost a lot of weight since you moved here a year ago". Felt awesome, I'm pretty sure I've previously only had conversations with her about my dog.
