  • Hi, everyone! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in 2010 by a physician at work. He took one look at me and said I had a goiter.

  • Hi, I've been doing MFP since January and lost 18 lbs so far. I basically followed the calorie level set by MFP and exercise - go to YouTube & found walking exercise videos plus have bought a few. I'm 61 and when I first started could barely get through a mile. Now, I can do 3 or more miles. You can do it, good luck.

I am trying MFP, keeping track of food & exercise. This has helped. The exercise is a big key for me, but is a a struggle. Hopefully, you can…

  • I've had a battle with the scale, too. I would weigh my self and if I was losing I'd think I could cheat. This time I'm weighing once a week and exercising. Logging in food and exercise has helped me ...so far. Whatever works for you, good luck.

  • I don't have access to a gym so I've been doing videos on YouTube. It's helped me from getting bored and there are all kinds of types of exercise to do.
