Wow, what a wonderful forum.

I've spent quite a bit of the day reading journals and exploring topics! I even started a journal of my own.

I'm 40 years old and 40 pounds overweight. Both are a bit difficult to get used to! Time will take care of the first, I'm here to help deal with the second.

I also have hypothyroid disorder. My medication is Levoxyl (0.1 mg). I'm hoping some of you can help me with this, as I've had a really hard time finding foods that work for me, and keeping my energy level up. In addition to the Levoxyl, I take St. John's Wart and a multi vitamin.

I have 3 children; a daughter - 15, two sons - 13 and 10. They are generally GREAT kids, but I really need my energy repaired to deal with two teenagers and one wana be!

My husband is a great guy and very supportive of my dieting attempts but I need help from others doing the same thing I am.

I'm looking forward getting to know you in the weeks to come.
