Hello! I just started using the app about a week ago and so far I like it. My question is: Is there anyone here with any thyroid condition that have used this app and how well does it work for you?

    Hi, I have hyperthyroidism and is on carbimazole for 2 months now.
    I've lost a bit of weight(5kg) before medication, but its coming back now.
    I'm new to MFP, 5 days to be exact! 😁
    So far I'm hungry.
    I guess I'm used to eating alot previously without gaining weight. I'm trying to watch what I eat now and control the portion.
    How's your thyroid condition? Everything in control?

    I have been dealing with hypothyroidism since I was 13 (31 now) and I’ve always struggled with weight. Either I lose too much or I need to lose a lot. Never really an in between!

    I know the struggle, and having to deal with all other symptoms.

    I have graves since 20 and I'm now 31 too. The hyperthyroidism comes and goes (with med).

    Sometimes I feel I have zero control over this, sometimes I feel I can make a bit of a difference.
    Let's do this together 🙂
