I know exactly how you feel! My fiance can easily eat twice as much as I do and still lose weight. I know I sometimes feel "pressured" to eat as much as he does. Just remember you can eat whatever you want - only in moderation! He burns more calories simply because he's a man. Good luck on your weight loss journey!  

oh and I forgot to add in that in 2006 I had blood work done because I fell asleep at a red light good thing my daughter was with me and I have a under-active thyroid. =( 

I have an underactive thyroid since the 5th grade and I'm now 47 years old. I just found out coconut oil works for thyroid and adrenals. I just started adding this to my diet. Yesterday I had a teaspoon in my coffee and today I had 2 teaspoons. I googled this and it looks like people are saying about 3 tbls a day but gradually get to this amount. You might want to research this and see if this is somehting that might work for you. It sounds like it helps with weight lose. here is one site talking about it. http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/coconut_oil.html
