That is a good idea on the veggies. I will look into some interesting ways to fix them. If I make it kind of fun instead of feeling like a chore maybe I will get more in me. LOL

I had considered the Mio and decided against it because of the artificial sweetener and all the chemicals in it. I have a big aversion to artificial sweeteners. I would rather use a teaspoon of sugar and get the 15 calories. I think getting the unsweetened tea and adding some lemon juice to it and two teaspoons of sugar is working well. It tastes fairly okay and is only 30 calories - which is a whole lot better than 150 calories in a Dr. Pepper. :)

Hello, all!
My name is Laura and I've been a MND.com member for almost a month. My initial plan was to lose 16 lbs,, but since beginning this journey, I've tweaked it to approximately 21 lbs. More depends on how I feel at any given weight, than any given numerical "set point," so I am not entirely certain what my desired weight loss even is. I just know that I want to live a more healthy life and attempt to make some sort of "peace" with the scale (it's been a life long, exhausting, and frustrating battle and I know there has to be a "better way" than what I've been doing).
Currently, I'm having to contend with a recent diagnosis of hypothyroidism and all that such entails- Extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, exhaustion, low body temperature/feeling cold all the time... Ugh! No fun! I've been on thyroid for 8 days now, and keep hoping that these symptoms will soon abate, but thus far, still hoping...
Regardless, I look forward to being a member of this group and getting the opportunity to interact with others on a similar journey.
Bests,
Laura

Good morning,
I hope it's okay that I jointed this group. I'm looking for some accountability you see!
My name is Chrissie. I've been a member of MND for ages but I haven't ever really used it consistently. However, when I do use it, weight comes off, so.....
My youngest child is twelve months old now, and I am stuggling to lose weight and keep it off. I seem to be in a rut. I won't be having any more children I very much feel that "this is it".
I would like to lose about another 10 kilos. I have started walking again, which I'm loving as it's very much my peaceful time, away from house and children. I don't mind how long it takes me to get back to where I should be, but I would like there to be consistent small losses. I think that I need to set myself some rules, and stick to them.
Anyway, I hope you are all well, and I look forward to keeping in touch.
- C
