We do this to provide brief periods of concerted effort where we pull together as a team to make lifestyle changes and reach small realistic weight loss goals. We believe there is always strength in numbers.

Hi, I'm new to medhelp and this community. It looks like a valuable resource for information and motivation. It's good to see people in similar situations so supportive of each other!
Looking forward to your participation and in reading your new post. Thanks for agreeing to help in the thyroid area .. it's an area we're truly hoping to develop with the knowledge, information and help of our thyroid members!

Welcome to the WL&D community and would love to tell you a way to lose weight quickly. Weight loss, however, should be down in a healthy manner of approximately 1-3 pounds a week depending on your food intake and exercise commitment. If you have a lot of weight to lose, you can experience larger weight losses per week initially but the longer you make progress to succeed, the more you settle into a slower pace of weight loss.
Losing weight too quickly is not healthy, usually returns and can actually waste your muscles .. and it is good to remember that the heart is the largest muscle you have. Some consideration should be given to this so you remain healthy long-term.
You may want to begin by eating lean meats, fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, low or non-fat dairy, whole grain breads and increasing your water consumption. In addition, begin some exercise .. walking, bicycling, swimming, aerobics, stretching, dancing .. anything you like to do. Try to keep your mind open to trying new things .. you'll be surprised at what you might like.
In making small changes .. a little at a time .. it helps incorporate these changes into our lives. YOU CAN DO THIS .. we'd love to have you join us regularly to see how you are doing, answer some questions, provide support and help encourage and motivate you along the way.
Very best wishes .. and you may want to implement the weight, exercise and mood trackers. They not only help us see where we are going, they are provide a remarkable history of where we've been and help us adjust along the way.

Thankyou for the warm welcome. Will pop in when I can & give you an update.
I'm an old hand at weight loss & weight gain. I've been a yo yo for many years. It's a long story - so I'll do a separate post! Lol.
Yep, I'd be glad to help with any thyroid related questions, not that I'm an expert though. Lol. But I'll give it a go.
