Of course I do but not enough to screw up my chance of getting healthy. I have had my own ups and downs over my journey so far but there is a lot of support here and even the occasional bit of tough love and it will help keep you going over the bumps in the road

Good for you! And I'm pretty certain you'll get below 150, even with the thyroid issues. I was 51 and post-menopausal when I had my surgery last year and I lost really well.

Best of luck!
