read my weight loss tab for the full story
Overview. I buckled down and started a steady workout plan. I kept a journal of every time i worked out, what i ate (for a few weeks) counted calories (for a few weeks) etc. After a month, i went on a stricter (is that a word) diet and upped my workout. After another month i upped my workout again (working out 5-6 days a week). I NEVER LOST ANY WEIGHT OR INCHES. After i kept working at it just WAITING for the weight loss to kick in but it never came. The only thing that kept me motivated was taking pictures and seeing i was more toned.
Before you tell me, oh its muscle, keep in mind im 30 pounds over my ideal weight for my height. So yea i might be building muscle but i should have lost SOMETHING by 3 months.
So here i am, 3 months later, and still not ONE pound lost.
Well on Thursday, when i got blood work done and found out i was FOR SURE prego, i had my thyroid checked. Friday i got the call. LOW AND BEHOLD, Christa has a thyroid issue! shocker right?? So i got put on medication (wont effect the baby). I started my meds Saturday.
I am going to continue my workout routine just might take it down a notch with being prego and all. obviously the belly is gonna be growing so im not looking to loose inches i just want to stay healthy. Ill keep you updated! So far (3 days on meds) ive lost 1 pound.. haha hey its SOMETHING, cant complain.
(really bloated lol)
So this is my.....update/first pregnancy belly pic haha. I know i look 4 months prego but NO im almost 2 months prego. ill be 7 weeks on thursday.
is it weird to feel movement already? like twitches?
maybe im just imagining things lol.

oh how frustrating!! Don't kick yourself too much. You're gonna loook smokkkin!
oh man, i'm hypo-thyroid too so i feel your pain! the meds will help. it might be a rollercoaster figuring out the right dosage, but they will definitely help :)
keep up the working out!! it has so many benefits besides just weight too!
That's so exciting! Congratulations, and what a relief that they found the cause of not being able to lose any weight (actually 2 reasons!)- that must have been so frustrating for those 3 months. Now you don't have to worry about it for 7 more months ;)
Your tummy is ADORABLE! Congratulations!
