Beginning my weight loss journey... Again.

tiffkittyw

Hi everyone! Today is my first day of attempting to lose weight, again. I've been up and down for the past few years and I now am faced with a slightly under active thyroid and 44 pounds to lose. I'd love to connect with some new friends for support. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease), and I lost the weight just like everybody else—by eating fewer calories than I burn. Learn to log everything you eat & drink accurately & honestly. Logging works.

I followed 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

Welcome aboard!

Be patient and stick to your plan. I have no thyroid and lost >50lbs over the last year just keeping track of what I eat and working out.

...and that post that @editorgrrl provided? That's gold!
