Hi there, I'm new here too, started yesterday and managing so far ... I downloaded MyFitnessPal today to help with the calorie counting ... So far so good!

I've got an under active thyroid too, and take 175mcg thyroxine daily, I'm also a Type 1 Diabetic and have PCOS, so weight has always been a nuisance!!! I've never tried calorie counting before, so we'll see!!

Here's to the start of our weight loss journey x

Hi Firefly

Have you had any advice from your doctor? If you asking for proper help, perhaps you need to talk to a dietician?

I could suggest that you might try taking wheat and sugar out of your diet, and see if that helps with weight loss. With many medical conditions, what you eat can have a direct effect on your body, I wonder if you have looked into this?
