    welcome. glad you are having success. keep up the great work. i lost all mine by weighing everything before i ate it, logging it all after i ate it. getting a little exercise each day and then getting a bit more the next. i am a veggie too.

    You can do this, if you weigh/log carefully & stick to goals consistently. I'm 59, hypothyroid, "impure" ( ;) ovo-lacto) vegetarian, and have lost 42 pounds since mid-April this way. Best wishes!

    Thk u AnnPT77 for your advice and guidance had a wrong notion thinking people suffering
    With hypothyroidism can not loose weight as the body metobolism is slow. Thanks for your motivation .I will stick to my goal and loose.

    *If* one's metabolism is slower, it may be necessary to eat slightly fewer calories to lose the same amount of weight, compared to someone with a faster metabolism.

    But if you log food accurately, and see what happens with your weight, you'll figure out what the right calorie level is for you (patience - it may take a few weeks of experimenting!)

    If your hypothyroidism is well controlled with medication, you'll likely lose at the same rate as others.

    You absolutely *can* stick to your goals & lose!

    Welcome Anandi. Best advice I can give you is read MFP threads. I read Getting started, general weight-loss questions & exercise/fitness throughout my day. I've learned so much & everyone is so helpful. Good luck on your weight loss journey :)
