Note for you non-USA folks...even though it is not your country's Independence Day, it is definitely your country's "Fourth of July" (I mean, it's the 4th of July everywhere, right?!?) So here's hoping you'll think of this as a holiday to share with us and join in on the fun here. Happy 4th of July, folks!

Friday, 6/19/14 226, no loss this week, just maintained. I was also diagnosed having Hypothyroidism started taking Levixyl 0.5mg for 1 wk tmrw Not sure what to expect or how it will impact my wls and goals. Dilemma to be contributed!! Good luck to everyone, keep up the great attitude and commitment!!! Stay hydrated : )

Wow!!!! I'm in shock with today's weigh in!!

Friday, 6/27/14 221

My goal is 220, let's see if I can lose that 1 last pound by next week!

I really think the hypothyroid med is part of my weight loss this week, but I have been drinking lots of Water and most definitely getting my Protein in, 50g daily

Tmrw marks 2 wks on it I'm on this thyroid med, it could explain why my fellow November sleever's have drop double my weight! Happy for everyone!!

Good luck everyone, keep up the great job and stay hydrated! : )
