Good morning, I'm new to this. I want to loose a stone - no deadline, no reason just personal comfort.
Unfortunately I have an underactive thyroid whilst it doesn't make weight loss impossible it does make it harder and slower - a desk job doesn't help either!
Am trying to loose a pound a week.

I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease)—and a desk job. I lost way more slowly than most MFPers, so be patient! But I did it just like everybody else—by eating fewer calories than I burn.

I followed the advice in the Sexypants post: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1
