hi there, lovely to meet you all 
Papillary thyroid cancer survivor here - TT 2007, 2xRAI 2008, currently on 150mcg levothyroxine.
I've always been a shocker trying to lose weight so I'm not sure how much of my problem is due to my lack of a thyroid, my desk job, family diet prefs (and nibbling on leftovers), comfort eating (cancer, earthquakes, general stress) etc etc. I've been an intermittent member of MFP for a year or so now *gulp* never come close to hitting my goal though, so I'm planning to get stuck in this time.
I have a very active 5yo daughter and veggie patch, so there is opportunity to exercise and incentive to eat healthily, particularly with NZ coming back into summer right now. We live in a very flat area, but I do love to walk, so now that the long evenings are upon us I'm hoping to get in a few walks along with plenty of gardening. Now all I need is to get this thing working on my phone..

Hey! Nice to meet you. I'm also on levothryoxine following cancer treatment as my thryroid gland got torched from radiation treatment.
I definitely think that having thyroid issues contributes to weight instability however I feel that it can be controlled through healthy eating and exercise. Good Luck on your journey to a healthier way of living.
Lets see you turn that intermittent MFP membership into a regular one. I've been attempting to do that and know it's easier said than done...0
