Hi I'm trying this because up til now nothing else has worked. I'm a single 44 yrs young. I've been battling with thyroid disease for 13 years. Frustrated because as I get older I tack on new and annoying symptoms that are slowing me down. I push myself to stay active in spite of insuring some type of physical pain EVERYDAY. I'm not a quitter. Excited to me you all! :)

    Hi Sherman! I LOVE your positive attitude despite your challenges. The important thing to remember is we all have major obstacles to get over whether it's physical or emotional! What i learned is when losing weight we also have to work on personal development too. I couldn't lose a freaking thing when I wasn't working on my emotional issues. I don't want to make this post about me. So if you wanna talk I hear for you!

    I have diabetes, congestive heart failure, and thyroid disease, and I've lost over 100 pounds the last four years. No fads, just eating better and exercise. It's not easy, and it is hard work. But you can do it!!!
