Weight Loss	WHOA! Quick weightloss!	Jul 25 2007 21:49 (UTC)	2
I am having a hard time. I'm about to turn 49. I'm 5.2inches and after months of getting the scale to go towards the downward side, this morning it's almost 2 pounds over the MAX weight limit I set for my self -- OK, 171.5. I've been down around 164 and headed downward, really just up and down. I believe I've got the thyroid thing under control. I'm taking synthroid 75 mg. I am committed to doing cardio everyday for at least 20-30 minutes, but I'm just so tired. I don't sleep well. I'm eating healthier (look at quinoa [grain w/high fiber] ) and I'm hungry. I really appreciate this website. My dream is to become a runner (Like the rest of the world!!) ... but I also enjoy swimming. I'm hoping that dragging myself to the gym & working out will give me some kind of energy. I think that working out in the morning is going to be the best thing for me. I'm rambling now. I want to take a nap. Thanks for listening & I'll be back to read more. This website really does make a difference!!
The Lounge	Getting Older & Thyroid & Weight	Apr 20 2006 16:49 (UTC)	2
Peggy, thanks for your long rant. I know this is the right thing to do. It just gets frustrating taking three steps forward and two steps back. I know from my weight watcher days that the tape measure tells you more than the scale. I just need to remember all that I've learned through the years. I don't know that much about sodium and water weight? I also very much appreciate the info about thyroid meds, etc. I think I will make another appointment w/the dr. I know that this forum and the support it gives is very very important also. Thanks to all who have posted!
Recipes	great chocolate help	Apr 03 2006 18:13 (UTC)	12
I get just a bit of a chocolate fix from VIACTIV Calcium chews. They are carmel-like chews that have 20 calories each, FAT=0.5g, CARB=4g, SUGAR=3g Two chews give you 100% of your calcium. Wal-mart has a generic version, but I haven't looked at the nutrition data yet. I'm also a big chocolate milk person, but a small handful of chocolate chips is required at certain times!
Weight Loss	Special K Challenge	Feb 16 2006 19:25 (UTC)	57
I went to Sam's wholesale and bought the MEGA box of Special K, but I too, have a problem with their skimpy 1 cup serving. It just doesn't do it for me!! I'm going up and down and not getting much results doing what I'm doing, but I TRULY LOVE THIS WEBSITE!! I am going to hang in there as long as I can. I have got to get rid of this WEIGHT! Please let me know if someone has success with this plan. The cereal does have a lot of vitamins, etc. but I don't know that it would be very complete nutrition. thanks! cms@uts.cc.utexas.edu Austin, Texas
Weight Loss	Hello, I'm new here!	Jan 26 2006 03:30 (UTC)	14
Hi ya'll. My name is Deanna and I'm in the suburbs of Austin, TX. I'm new here too and very much excited about this website. I did pretty good entering what I ate and my exercise (1st day, I know, but...) I have a few questions? How do you enter in a home cooked meal? Do you have to enter each ingredient for say, a casserole? I made a turkey meatloaf and I wasn't quite sure how to enter it in. Did the best I could. Went over my calorie limit a bit today but it's not too bad for the first day. I went up two flights of stairs and walked at lunch. I think this will help me quite a bit be more conscious about how those calories add up. Thanks for listening. "See ya" next time!
