HI! I'm 24 and gained 30 pounds in less than a year. I have recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism - and here I thought that was supposed to make you LOSE weight.

I have been trying for the past year to lose weight and it has been incredibly difficult for me. I could really use some friends to help me on my weight loss journey! I think I will do better if I am held accountable. And who couldn't use some motivation to exercise during Ohio winters!

    feel free to friend me. I'm in London in a slightly different position (34, working mum, busy lifestyle) but know how hard it is to keep motivated. Like another member just said, slow and steady... it took a while to put the weight on, it will take a while to take it off. Try motivating yourself towards milestones along the way that aren't food related.
    MFP makes it so much easier to keep track of what you're really eating that it's a good tool for effective weight loss.
