Activity

Sounds like a good plan. I’ve been trying to do the same myself.

So far I just have found that I need to keep moving and making sure that I don’t sit or stand in one place for long enough for any of my limbs to falls asleep. I feel better after drinking water but if it gets really bad and lasts a long time even when I’ve been moving, I think I will take some electrolytes and see how that changes. That’s the…[Read more]

@spiderchlome I was noticing that too! It’s great seeing your progress, because I’ve been experiencing similar things too. I’m curious how your water experiment goes too. I’ve been battling dehydration myself and have also had circulation issues with limbs falling asleep more easily these days.

Great!!

So sorry all I have been so absent. Had been really sick with flu cold etc. on z pack for a second week as am flying to England today. I tried my best with going to work  and Pittsburgh

so happy to say I am down 9 pounds to 129 though. Didn’t have much appetite when I was sick. So had five bites of food x 2 daily.

My friend whom I am staying wi…[Read more]

I didn’t realize that you are about a week ahead of me along this journey and we have similar starting weights/goals.  Just saw your post on sleep. Yeah I am having the same thing with not needing as much sleep. I’m waking up earlier and going to bed later it’s so crazy but kinda cool! Keep going, it’s inspirational!

Day 13 – Usual black coffee with sugarfree sweetener and vitamins for breakfast. Lunch was 5 bites of a steak and provolone sandwich that I enjoyed while dining out with a friend. Dinner was 5 bites of a Chinese pork dish that my husband ordered in. Had a diet Coke with each meal and quite a bit of water throughout the day.

Thanks!

Day 6

Ok um, this is really easy so far, not hungry. What a weird experience. I know I’ve done this before already but I’m still just so damn surprised by it. I’m just shocked I guess.

And some water. I was a little more pins and needles today but it has been wearing off quickly. I’m hoping it doesn’t get…[Read more]

Brilliant, Becca!  Thanks for the update!  It sounds like you are doing GREAT!!!

Super, Less … !  How do you feel?

I absolutely love it, Chloe!  You are an inspiration for all!!

Thanks yeah I feel like I wasn’t having to put too much willpower into it because somehow in my mind right now, it’s just not an option to eat more.It’s such a strong feeling that is getting stronger as I continue on. I hope I can make sure to re-stoke that feeling and make it all the way through.

Day 5

Got through just fine, even trained a…[Read more]

Yay! Keep it up!!

That’s fantastic, Chloe! It’s great hearing that you could enjoy the smells of cooking and appreciate it without feeling overwhelmed by the need to eat. Indian is my favorite food by the way, and I doubt that my willpower would have been as strong! Great job!

Sorry I missed a couple days on my logging. My husband and son have been sick with some sort of chest cold these past couple of days and I even had to take our dog to the vet yesterday over a separate stomach problem he has, so I’ve been the only one not sick in the house these past couple of days.

Day 10 was a perfect 5 bite day, down to the…[Read more]

Right.  It sounds like you might be dehydrated.   I hope your experiment works!

Thanks doc

Day 4

I’m writing a day after. Yesterday was relatively easy as well. My limbs falls asleep really easily if pressed against something, even just sitting a certain way. It goes away once I keep moving around. I can’t seem to find any concrete explanation for why this might be happening except some sort of electrolyte imbalance. I have…[Read more]

Right.  Whatever distractions you had are in the past.  Done.  Now we start fresh and new … and GO!!!

Correct.  Losing weight doesn’t cure all cases of hypothyroidism–losing weight doesn’t a guarantee a cure for any single disease (but the correlation with multiple diseases is VERY strong).  But the odds are (don’t we live in a world of odds, good vs. bad, benefits vs. risks?) that your hypothyroidism will improve to the point that you don’t n…[Read more]

Brilliant!  Absolutely brilliant, Chloe!!
