I've lost 3 lbs this week! I'm back at the weight when I started (I think...Leah?)! I think most of you know that I am on medication for my thyroid &for high blood pressure. A couple weeks ago, I was out of both for a few days-1 week & put on 5 lbs that week. Last week I was at 214.5 & was happy, but thought it was a fluke & didn't mention it.

I've come to realize how important my medicine is. Yes, I know they're important to my health or I wouldn't be on them, but they are also important to my weight. I put on over 30 lbs last year before we knew I had a thyroid problem. The year before, I trained for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer & not only did I not lose any weight, I put it on. WTF, right? Meds are important!

Anyway, while not eating perfectly, I have cleaned up my act a lot & I think it's starting to show. My goal for this week is to start exercising. Short & simple, that is my goal.

I have been eating slower thanks to Pete Cohen (I made that my goal for this last week) & I think it makes a big difference.

Peace & Love (& more lbs off in the new week!)

  3. I'm on Synthroid (I had thyroid cancer) so I know how you feel about the meds. They are very important and you do notice the weight gain and other changes within a few days of not taking them. Keep focused on your goals and you will do this.

  5. Woo, glad you lost those lbs. girl! So glad you mentioned "slow down chewing" because I have pelicans gulping their food at the dinner table. I didn't know everyone was calling each other for support?! That is way cool and it helped you get through your lunges! Proud of you Kim and please stay on your meds, especially when you know now how important they are. Oh and DRINK!!!

  8. Great weight loss! The gal I workout with is on medication for her thyroid, too. Working out can be frustrating for her when she isn't seeing results on the scale, but I know she is making progress towards better health. Keep up the great work. I know you can do it!!

  10. Good job on eating those treats SLOWLY so that you enjoy them and don't over-indulge. That is so important!!

    I think a turkey, cheese, and avocado sammich sounds lovely. Might have to try that!

    Keep up the good work - you're doing great!

  13. Seafood eatin', I heard you like Red Lobster

    That Pharrell lyric ALWAYS goes through my head when I hear of or see a Red Lobster.

    Anyway I gotta avoid heading to your meticulous tracking when I am hungry. I will eat after this. You are doing great! Congrats on the loss in the last week.

  15. I just commented on another blog how I am also trying to eat slower. I have been conditioned for some many years to eat as fast as I could in the time alotted that I have a hard tome slowing down unless I am really thinking it.
    Glad to hear you are back on your meds and on the right track with a great loss.
    Don't let yourself run out again!

  17. My favorite part of your food journal is when you ate out at Red Lobster. I love Red Lobster, there's this pasta dish that has lobster and asparagus on a buttery wine sauce, ooohhhh, yummy! Sorry, I'm not being a good influencer on you.

    Yay on your 3 lbs lost last week! Keep it up! --- @ImAHotMom
