[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 645942, member: 18516"] Up until 5 years ago I never had an issue with my weight but because of radiation treatments I had for cancer 20 years ago I developed hypothyroidism. I take medication for that and work out regularly. I don't think I will ever be the same size I was and that's ok with me. I'm more focused on maintaining my health. I eat very healthy 6 days a week and allow myself 1 day a week to be "naughty" and eat whatever I want. I purchased a Vitamix years ago and I use it everyday. I make a berry smoothie for my breakfast and I also make a veggie smoothie for my afternoon snack. I use 1 apple, 2 good sized carrots and about 2 cups of kale. I alternate the kale with spinach every other day. There are many different recipes online. It's a great way to get some whole uncooked veggies in your diet. I have also done this. I drizzle mine with an italian flavored olive oil and a little sea salt. YUM!! I work with a group of women who are obsessed with dieting. They are more concerned about their dress size than they are their health. These women do not excercise, we all have desk jobs and we are all over 50. Sometimes I think they try to sabatoge each other as they will bring in snacks to share and it's never anything healthy. The crazy thing is none of them ever lose any weight. Again, for me it's more important to be healthy than a certain size. [/QUOTE]
