Hey all! I've been watching my intake since January 1st, but just found the forums. I've lost 12 pounds so far :smile: My goal weight is 165 and am 5'8" I have never weighed below 186 in my adult life so this is truly a challenge.

I am low thyroid and am wondering if anyone else has struggled with this.

    That's awesome!! Good for you.

    You've lost a lot very quickly so don't be surprised if you plateau soon or even gain a few pounds back though. I lost 18 lbs the first 3 weeks and then gained 8 back the week after - you tend to loose a lot of water the first little bit until your body gets used to what you're doing.. stick it through and if this happens to you, it's ok - it's normal and part of the process - keep it up and the results will come again!

    Good luck!
