Hello all! My name is Tina and I am from Tucson, Arizona. I am new here; my mother, daughter, and I have all joined and we each have different goals but it's great to be able to support each other. I am almost 47, have Graves Disease and a muscle disability. With the aid of daily medications, I am struggling to regulate my metabolism as I no longer have a thyroid to do it naturally and my muscle disability leaves me with daily chronic pain, very weak muscles, and serious limits to the amount of exercise that I can do. Despite all of that, I am determined to be successful and think that the extended community here is wonderful. I have been reading posts and suggestions and am slowly transitioning to full participation here. Just wanted to say hi and briefly introduce myself. I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

    Keep going! I was born without a Thyroid so I am in the same boat. Good thing is that we don't have regular imbalances. I've never let not having a thyroid stop me but sometimes I wonder whether it's extra hard for me to loose weight. I'm getting older now and it's definitely harder!

    Good luck on your goals to you, your mom and daughter! MFP, to me is a great site. I have some awesome friends on here who helps keep me going when I start losing it.
    I'm also in Tucson!
