New at MFP and looking for support

I am a 40 year old mom of 3. I had a complete thyroidectomy 9 months ago and feel like my metabolism is nonexistent! I need the support of friends and accountability to help keep me focused.

    Feel free to add me. I know what you mean about metabolism even without the medical issues.

    Hello, I am also new to MFP. Well truth be told I am sort of new, I joined two years ago, then fell off the wagon per se, now I am getting back on. Previously I just used MFP for food and exercise, but I thought I would try some of the message boards too. I will take support any way I can get it.

    My story is probably the same and most, I have yoyo'd up and down for a while. Reality is that I need to loose weight, just to be healthier if nothing else. I am 42 years old, mother of two daughters and have a step daughter as well. I have a career and lets just say I lead a busy life. If I do not get control of my weight now, well...... I have a new found commitment!

    Anyway, just thought I would try to meet some online friends who are supportive and in the same boat I am in.

    Good for you for getting started. If you log everything you eat it really helps. Doesn't come off as easy as 10-15 years ago. I have been following the plan pretty well for 9 months and have lost 39lbs. Stick with it you can do it!

    I am new here. Day 5 I think. :) My issue has been getting rear ended 5 times in 10 years. Lower back pain comes and goes and effect my work outs, so I have to watch what passes through my mouth! I will add you as a friend . :)

  • Good morning, I'm 42 and have always been up and down with my weight. I would love to have friends that are same age that are going thru the same thing.

    41 and I'm on daily! I'm dealing with minor medical stuff as well, so I can empathize. I log and weigh daily, but I have a private diary b/c I'm not into sharing *everything*. Cheers! :D
