Yup. To both Nancy and Barb. Are you, at least based on your labs, currently hypo, or are your TSH, T4 and free T3 in normal ranges?

That will help with a lot of thyroid caused issues.

The best advice I have is, if you don't have issues recognizing when you have had enough to eat, is to eat two or three meals a day when you are hungry, in about the proportions that Barb mentions, and try to eat them in a 12 or fewer hour window. So, if you eat breakfast at 7 am, be done with dinner by 7 pm.

But, and this part is really important to remember, if you do have thyroid issues, you will need to have patiences with your weight loss. You don't have that much to lose, really, and it may take longer than someone with a normal thyroid.

Which needs to be OK, because the alternative to losing slowly is to regain by eating a lot of carbs again. Which happens quickly, of course.
