Sorry for double post. newbie error.. thx
Hi,
Just joined MFP today. My goal is to gain 10 lbs. I'm 52 and have had to watch my weight in my later years. At 50, I began taking hypothyroid meds and lost weight quickly and my energy improved drastically.

Now I can't keep the weight. Not sure why yet. Not a bad problem to have, right?! Anyway, for ex., in the morning I could weigh129 by the end of the day 131, and by morning 129 again. I'm supposed to eat 2000 calories per day to gain 5lb in a month - but's not working. I quit going to the gym - 3 days/week to keep calories on...

Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL

I'm hoping MFP can help.

    i wouldn't stop going to the gym . That is very healthy and good for everything. I would just maybe increase your calories? Talk to your endocrinologist and see what they think :)
