No Back Strain for JeeNee

I'm a couple pounds closer to not weighing my horse down!  Not that my spotted draft couldn't take an extra 25 pounds on her back but I don't want her to have to carry extra weight.  I've heard there are lots of ways to lose weight - exercise, diet, supplements like herbal phentermine. I've changed my diet (because of my gallstones) and my thyroid doctor increased my thyroid medication so I'm not sure which one is responsible for the weight loss - probably a little bit of both.  I'm thrilled over it though.

Pics on Horse without Belly Fat

How do you get good pictures of yourself on the back of your horse that will hide any belly fat?  I hate, hate, hate pictures of me on my horse because of that but I want pictures of me on my horse!  I'm losing weight but after four kids and struggling with thyroid disease, I'm not sure I'll ever get a flat belly again!  I need to look up how to burn belly fat!

Maybe by spring, I'll have lost what I want to lose in weight and won't need to worry about it.  I can hope anyway.

Lose Weight, Gain Weight, Lose Weight

I've been struggling to lose weight.  I had lost 18 of the 37 pounds I had wanted to lose and then 9 of them came back.  Since changing my diet because of my gallbladder disease, I think the scale is going to come down again.  I don't want to get ahead of myself, but it's been teetering back and forth between a 1-1/2 and 2 pound loss this week so I'm hoping... *fingers crossed* ...that drastically changing my diet is going to make a difference along with the increase in my thyroid meds.  My doctor also raised my T3 dose for my thyroid disease so between the two of them - I'm really hoping to see a difference on that scale!

I have to admit those fat burning and metabolism ads do catch my eye though and have me wondering - does lipofuze work?  Because my metabolism is slow due to my thyroid disease, I am curious to see if there is a weight loss supplement that could increase it - not just for weight loss but just so it is where it is supposed to be anyway.
