New Month

New Month

I'm going to give this blogging a try, but not only that I'm going to get with the program and really work on loosing these unwanted fat cells!!! 

Here's my plan...

1) Stay focused.  This will take some help from Above.

2) No junk food.  Sweets, French fries, potato chips, buttery popcorn ...

3) Stay active. 

I have some medical problems, that I feel is keeping me from shedding these pounds.  I take medication for thyroid and the medication, too can be a problem.  I've complained before to my doctor about my concerns and I get no results from him.

I am going to start July off with REALLY working HARD on getting rid of these pounds.  At the end of July I return to a different doctor regarding my thyroid and if what I've done doesn't show some great response on the scales and tape measure, then I feel I will have a legitimate reason to complain about being over weight!

I'm sick of being fat.

I'm sick of clothes that don't fit.

I'm sick of not feeling attractive.

I'm sick of feeling sluggish and uncomfortable.

I'm ready to LOOK, FEEL, ACT AND BE ATTRACTIVE!

So, here goes...  I'll keep you posted.  I WILL BE accountable. 

Good luck!

I wish  you luck and encouragement on your journey too!  You are right about our stories being similar - I gained a lot of weight during my hypothyroid phase and it never seemed to go away even though my TSH is now normal.   

But we can both do this!  Mine will probably be slow since I have to be a little careful with any cardio now, but I am hoping slow & steady wins the race!  You can do it!!! 

I look forward

to hearing all about your progress and welcome to the Nifty 50's too!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO!!

HI THIS IS CHARLIE,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCOURAGEMENT......MAYBE WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER REACH OUR GOAL.......MY THYROID PROBLEMS ARE ALSO THE CAUSE OF MY WEIGHT GAIN.....I HAVE FOUND THAT I HAVE TO RIDE MY STATIONARY BIKE FOR ONE HOUR EVERY OTHER DAY TO GET THE WEIGHT TO COME OFF.....MY DOCTOR, TOLD ME THAT AT MY AGE IT TAKES ABOUT 60 MINS. OF CONSTANT MOVEMENT(no breaks) TO GET RESULTS......SINCE I'VE BEEN DOING IT I'VE SEEN FASTER WEIGHT LOSS.(about 3-4 pounds a week) AND THATS GOOD FOR ME. I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO DO WELL.....IF YOU NEED SOME SUPPORT....I'M HERE!
