Need some MFP friends...

Hi everyone,

My name is Ray (for Rachel)...I'm trying to make a change and drop some weight...for many reasons...but mainly to just feel better...ALSO, I was diagnosed with HYPERthyroidism a year ago...they said it was soooo high, that they had to basically kill my thyroid gland. SOOOO, now I my thyroid is HYPO-active...meaning all the weight I lost when it was overactive is back, plus some...SO, not only do I need to lose weight for vanity, now I actually gotta watch what I eat, exercise and drink water (all of which were not big activities in my life). So, anyone that has any advise with the thyroid situation, please add me! Any anyone who can give me some support and accountability would be great too! And one last thing, I'm turning 30 in September...I'm pretty sure my hubby will be throwing a party...so my current goal is to drop 20 lbs. by then. WISH ME LUCK!
