My name is Debbie. This is my first week doing mfp. I'm 54 and am finding it very difficult to lose weight. I would like to lose 35 pounds. I'm also a Weight Watchers member. Would love to make new friends to share and support the journey with.

    I'm from NJ. Nice to meet you, too. I find that losing weight in my 50s is a lot more challenging! As we get older, it should be easier (wishful thinking)... Lol

    Hi Debbie & Ryan

    I am also looking to lose 30lbs before 30. I have just been tod I have an under active Thyroid so losing weight is going to be quite difficult for me. I also have to admit having done this now for 5 days at 1200 calories it really is quite hard!

    I am in London - take you guys are US?

    Yes, we are in the US. Nice to meet you, KVJL. It is very difficult when you only have 1200 calories. I don't get a lot of calories either. Sometimes it's hard for me to make good food choices and trying to fit in exercise.... UGH!!! It's easier said than done

    I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease), and I lost the weight and have maintained for a year by following the advice in the Sexypants post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

    Logging is simple, but it ain't easy. Logging works.
