I have gained weight very easily after I found out I had a thyroid problem. Its been hard to adjust and I'm still trying to get used to this new 'normal' metabolism after having an extremely fast metabolism for most of my life. I found this website and love it! It really helps with keeping track of what I should be eating. Very excited to lose weight and be healthy again!

    Welcome and good luck! I have a miss-behaving thyroid too so I know what a stuggle it is.

    I had Cushings Syndrome which is in the Graves family. It is harder to lose weight, but not impossible.. Don't lose your motivation.

    You just have to get used to getting half the results for the same amount of work that most people get. Once you learn what your normal is and accept it you won't get as frustrated.
