Hi beachbabe, I know just how you feel. I dont have any thyroid problems but do have weight issues. Like you I have joined weight watchers and slimming world several times and now dont feel i can walk in there again. Was going to post on here to ask if anyone has tried adios tablets or the new alli tablets that are advertised. I am going on holiday in september and would love to lose some weight before then. Lets try and motivate each other taking it slowly but steady. Good luck and keep in touch.
