Hi just wondering if anyone in this group has any tips for me. I started gaining weight about 10 years ago due to an under active thyroid, never had a weight problem before so I didn't really know what to do when the usual diets did not seem to work. With the help of mygitnesspal and working on the idea that I need to keep my metabolism up by dividing my calories into three meals and two snacks I can see difference already. Can anyone add anything to help an Irish newbie?
