| Thyroid Success Stories |
Here is what I did to lose 40lbs with hypothyroidism (now a size 5/6-7/8):
1. Keep a daily record of what you eat(I used the Weight Watchers point
system, 'cause it is easier to count).
2. Drink plenty of water(I drink almost a gallon per day).
3. Three hours of cardiovascular workout a week(I prefer
walking/running).
4. Three hours of weight training, sit ups and stretches a week.
5. Cut out junk food, and begin eating lean meats/seafood, fresh/frozen
vegetables and fruits. I treat myself to occasional sweets. Eat nuts,
yogurts, hot cereals. Cook with olive oil or canola oil. Switch to whole
grain/wheat breads.
6. Take the steps at work instead of the elevator.
7. Park further out in the parking lot (don't try to get the parking space
closest to the store door).
8. Subscribe to health magazines and fitness books to gain more knowledge
and read success stories.
9. Write your goals down and read them regularly(how you are going to
lose weight, why and how you are going to maintain the weight once you reach
your
goal).
10. Treat yourself to new outfits or workout gear as you reach your
weekly/monthly goals.
Last but not least love yourself, accept all the compliments with a big
"Thank you" and be an inspiration to all of those around you!!!
Love,
Lorna
