Hi Tri Harder:

Your food looks good especially going out to eat with friends.  Hope you had a great day!

Hi Tess:

Good for you getting to the gym.  240 calorie burn is 24 lbs. in a year...whoot!  whoot!   Tri

That would work for me!

been a busy week.  I can't believe I haven't been able to post in almost a week.  Went to my doctor's Monday to weigh in and I lost 8 pounds my first week on my new food plan.  I also had a bone density test and they were durprised and happy that my bones are normal.   

she said it is rare to find someone my age (65) with bones in as good a shape as mine are.  YAY. 

also learned that I can not eat or take calcium within 4 hours of my thyroid meds.  My meds were also increased a little.  As a result of the new guidelines and the new dose I feel so much better. 

I have been traveling since Tuesday but still sticking to my food plan with the exception of a taste of a couple of dishes I can only get in cajun country.( south Louisiana).  I will be happy with a loss of 2 or 3 pounds this week.  Next week I expect I will have no more fluid to lose and I'll be lucky to loose a couple of pounds a week. 

I won't give my food intake since it has been so many days but hopefully I be home late tomorrow and back to posting every day.

Hi Linda, Good for you that you lost 8 pounds! Would you mind sharing your new eating plan?
