Hi you two
Iam also trying portion control by using a smaller plate but it seems daft when I am having salad or veg stew!
10 lbs off the first week is great!
I have lost my first stone 3 more to go

Hi Hilde

I had my thyroid removed when I was 23. I have been taking thyroid replacement meds ever since. I put on weight in each of my 3 pregnancys without ever taking it off. So...I am faced with doing it now! I know I have the right attitude. I just hope I have the self discipline. I joined a week ago and did lose 10 pounds my first week. So...I am motivated right now. I am finding portion control challenging too...I am trying to "listen" to my body and stop when I am full.

Hang in there. Think about what you are eating and how much. I like the idea being able to eat everything I like, just eating less. That means I will get to have a piece of pizza one of these days!!! Hooray!

You can do it...it's a lifestyle change for the better! We can do it!

Doesnt it seem crazy sometimes when you do think about it. That in our age we are still dieting . I am going to just start looking at like eating healthy from now on.
So I figure when you eat healthy you loose weight on your own.
Especially when you are a slow looser like myself.
I had a underactive thyroid since I was 28 year old. Took medicines for a while. Then my dr. retired and never took anymore. They tell me now that doesnt mix with blood thinners. So I just have fight it myself.
Hope everyone else is doing good.
I have trouble with portion control. So tonight is the first night I am going to start using smaller plates.
So we will see how that works.
Hope to hear from all you soon.
Hilde
