Hello all,

Hi Ranae,
Thank you for the suggestions, Can I ask you more about what you mean with my diet. I am under 1,000 cal intake, and I dont feel comfortable adding food to my day. Am I not getting enough? Why am i not then losing weight if so. Honestly I dont want to gain muscle, I feel that I have muscle, I just want to lean and thin out. And I do alot of different excersizes as well. Are there protien out there that dont have a lot of calories?
Thanks so much!

Hello penny 10 and NorcoQueenoftheUniverse ... am so pleased to see you posting in the community. Looked at both your profiles and see that Penny has started using the Food Diary. In reviewing the day I see posted, may I most respectfully suggest that you start combining some lean proteins, fresh/frozen fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, complex carbohydrates. The same would be true for you NorcoQueen, and may I suggest you begin using the Food Diary as it will give you an accurate account of what you are eating.
In addition, if you will implement the exercise, weight and mood trackers ... along with the food diary ... this gives us a clear picture on how to provide you with the information needed to break your plateau and move you forward in your journey. To target 5-10 pounds is most doable and we're here to support you. Remember, the calories that are figured in the Food Diary are to "maintain" your weight, you must lower that by 3,500 calories for each pound you wish to lose and or increase your exercise or the intensity of your exercise to burn calories to lose.
Once you have done your Food Diary for a week and hopefully implemented these other trackers, we'll be able to point you in the right direction to achieve your goals. Remember ... one day at a time ... and it will come off slowly (1-1 1/2 lbs per week) with a week every now and then that you plateau.
Remember to change up your exercise! Your body quickly adapts to an exercise routine, so surprise it with new things every day. Walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, tennis, kick ball, jump rope, hula hoop, dancing, aerobics, pilates, yoga ... keep experiencing new things to invigorate yourself and find some new hobbies you may like!
Hope to hear from you both very soon and welcome, welcome, welcome to the WL&D community. Norco, please join the community and CONGRATULATIONS on your 87 days!!! You should be so proud of you!!!
Love and Hugsss ..

I'm in the same boat been trying to lose 15lbs for the past 3 months and at my Dr visit last Thursday I was surprised to find out I gained 4 lbs. What is going on? My thyroid tests came back normal so I can't blame that, I was hoping it would be out of whack but no not here. Now I tried the Alli diet pill, maybe that will help. I'm down to about 1000 calories a day, I just started this on Monday. Very disgusted, and I will never stop saying this, "Thyroid disease destroyed my life". I truly mean that
Hi!!!
It is funny you mention the pills, because for the last 3 months ive been trying different ones to no avail. ARGGGH. I eat so healthy and work out hard and is so frustrating. If you find anything that works as well:)
Thanks for the support!

Hey Penny,, I feel your frustration as I TOO am just TRYING TO shed 5 to 10 pounds... not ALOT of weight to loose but enough that would make me FEEL better.. and I just can't seem to.. I power walk 2 miles EVERYDAY.plus ride my horse and for the LIFE of me I'm STUCK...
I've always ate healthy and have even cut back on my healthy eating.. so, My thought is just that I'm gonna be FAT AND FIFTY (but HEALTHY)...
I was gonna try Slim Quick but after reading the reviews decided against it as it seems to be all hype...marketing...
Let me know if you find a way to SHED that 5-10 pounds as I'd LOVE to be able to.
Good Luck and IF nothing else THINK SKINNY!

P.S. I am a "recoverying pill person" been clean for 87 days and one of my thoughts is that maybe my BODY is STILL trying to FIND it's self....Not sure about that though.
