Welcome to the Thyroid Diet and Weight Loss Forum, moderated by your Thyroid Guide, Mary Shomon. This forum is a wonderful place to exhange support, information, the latest research, your personal story, and more about how to successfully lose weight when you have a thyroid condition. I encourage you to join the conversation, meet other thyroid patients, and discover the benefits of connecting with people around the world on your road to wellness.

I also encourage you to sign up for my free online email course, offering guidance and assistance to thyroid patients who are trying to lose weight. It's called "4 Weeks to Weight Loss for Thyroid Patients" and you can sign up, free, online.
Don't forget that while this is a specialized forum focusing on diet and weight loss, we have a very active main thyroid forum, About.com Thyroid Disease Main/General Forum, where there are many people talking about diet issues, as well as a number of specialized thyroid forums here at About.com, including:

• Alternative/Holistic/Complementary/Integrative Approaches to Thyroid Disease Forum
• Hyperthyroidism & Graves' Disease Forum
• Thyroid & Hormones, Fertility, Menopause and Pregnancy Forum
• Thyroid Top Doctors &  Support Groups  Forum
• Thyroid Cancer Support Forum
• Thyroid Disease: UK & Ireland Forum

Again, welcome to the Thyroid Forums, and live well! -- Mary
