in Introduce Yourself
I need some encouragement, I used MFP successfully 3.5 years ago to lose 28lbs. I kept it all off until about 6 months ago, my hypo thyroid decided to give me another run for my money, and I gained 5 or 6 lbs, and the last month I've gained another 10.... so 15lbs is my goal, but would love to add another 5 to that, and hit my lowest weight since having my 5 beautiful children. I try to get inspired and want this, but my energy is pretty low due to my thyroid. Please be my friend and encourage me, I know I can do this, I've done it before, I just have to get out of this funk I'm in. I am a good cheer leader as well. I am in my upper 30's and am starting feel a little old and I HATE feeling old!

    I'm back to mfp after a long hiatus and we are trying to lose similar amounts of weight. I'm also trying to drop weight that crept back on after being shed. Feel free to add me.

    Hello Everyone, Im looking for some friends also. I fell off track and when I logged back on some of my friends disappeared. I've been a yo yo dieter and I'm really trying. This is the shortest time I fell off track since I joined MFP and Im getting better but I would love more support to keep me going.

    Feel free to add me. I would like to have more encouragement and support, also. I am in my 40's and have never really needed to worry about weight issues, but I have noticed a middle that won't go away and want more defined muscle tone. I am on week 3 and have a totally different mindset this go around. :smiley:

    I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease). Thyroid meds (in my case, Synthroid & Cytomel) reduce the fatigue so I can be more active. But I kept gaining & gaining until I learned to log everything I eat & drink accurately & honestly. Logging is simple, but it ain't easy. Logging works.

    MFP has a hypothyroidism & hyperthyroidism group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/753-hypothyroidism-and-hyperthyroidism

    Feel free to add me. I'm coming back after a long drop off too. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and Adrenal Insufficiency last September, after years of struggling with fatigue, weight gain, and overall feeling like crap. 3-1/2 months in, taking a ton of daily vitamins, and cleaning up what I eat have made a HUGE impact. Now that I am feeling 90% better I am ready to take on weight loss.
    eta I am 51, 5'4" and have 60 pounds to shed - eeeeeek!
