hi liberty44 -- (raising hand) I have hypothyroidism.
tips to stay on track... hmmm...
first - pick your diet program and stick to it
second -- stick to it because sometimes the scale will not reflect your efforts --- but knowing that you are sticking to it will give you something to look forward to.
third -- exercise -- take baby steps, begin with walking 10 minutes one way and 10 minutes back -- that's 20 minutes right there! try to exercise at least 3 times a week, more if you feel up to it.
fourth -- shake up your calorie intake -- of course the first step is to reduce from whatever level it is -- so if your current intake is about 2300 -- reduce to about 2000,
fifth -- monitor your calories (many diet software available online many with free 7 or 10 day trials). Log in your meals and the program totals calories for you.
six -- make a list for yourself of your top ten reasons for wanting to succeed -- put it somewhere you can see it every day!
seven -- there are many great forums here -- something for everyone... post, ask questions, read inspirational stories...
Finally - know that you can do this, and you and only you can do it!
TO SUCCESS IN THE QUEST!
BEST,
B
