hi I've just joined and weigh 10.11 and am 5foot five. Also I have a under active thyroid so find it hard to shift any weight. I need some ideas please.

Hi and welcome, ediepop
You might like to check out this community too
Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you
Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news
Have a look at the 12 week plan, as many people have been successful following it. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

Hi ediepop. Welcome to our forum. You will find lots of advice and tips here, and lots of friendly users. I myself have had an underactive thyroid for over 35 years now, but on the right medication (which I am) I can't blame my thyroid for my weight gain. I can only blame myself for what I put in my mouth! Portion control and calorie counting will help you achieve your desired weight loss. Admin have already posted something for you telling you how to use the forum and so on. My advice is download the NHS 12 week plan, get the MyFitnessPal app on your phone and start tracking calories. Best of luck!
thank you, very helpful. I'll try nhs 12 week plan.
