Default Re: Another newbie, and stalled for 3 weeks. HELP!

Hi! I'm in a bit of the same boat. I'm going into my 3rd week but have lost 11 lbs...now stalled out a bit. I am also on Synthroid...had a total thyroidectomy in June and immediately started gaining weight.

Have you posted your menu in that forum? It may help to see exactly what you are eating. I also drink a cup of coffee every morning, but use 2 tbsp of heavy cream instead of half & half. It hasnt seemed to hurt me much. The main thing I notice that seems to stall me out is too much cheese. I seem to do better eating several times a day throughout the day rather than just 3 x a day.

Check the FAQ page...it has a lot of helpful hints.

Are your clothes getting looser? I have read not to go too much by what the scale says.
