Friends? I think I'd like some this time.

I've been trying to manage my weight alone for too long. Would love to develop a weight loss/healthy living support network.

I'm 35. Working mother of two.
I'm short (5'4'') and currently 63kg. I'm aiming for 56kg which was the upper limit of my pre medication weight (I take lithium for bipolar disorder which contributes to weight gain and makes loss quite a bit harder). I also have subclinical hypothyroidism as a direct result of lithium therapy (treated with low dose thyroxine).

If anyone else is looking for support and encouragement please add me! Whether you are in similar circumstances or totally different I would love to offer support and be supported on our journeys.

    I'm adding you. I'm 31, a working, single mother of one and have considerably more weight to lose than you but I'm feeling hopeful/positive!

    I'm adding some nutritious green smoothie recipes and the like to my newsfeed as well as some more personal (self?)motivational posts, reflections ... whatever. Also have switched my diary to open.

    Theory is the more I engage with this the more I can maintain momentum.

    Anyhow, feel free to add and have a look. I'm just getting back to this but I'm giving it a red hot crack.
