Getting Back On Track

Where do I begin with the whirlwind of a year that led me to gain over 40 pounds!!!! Just typing that number makes my stomach turn. I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer just after my 24th birthday last year, and ever since then I have been stuck in a thunderstorm. I have decided that enough is enough and I'm going to get healthy again. I was down to 160 before all this happened and would like to get there again. I just can't seem to get myself off the couch and away from the chocolate bars I'm coming back to MFP for support and encouragement from my fellow "life changers" in the world. Looking for friends that I can help support and would do the same for me!!

Good luck :flowerforyou:
Cut yourself some slack after all you've been through, at least you have decided to do something about it! :bigsmile:0 -
Although I have a lot more weight to lose than you do I would love to offer my support. Whether it be 10 pounds or 100, it's not easy and we all need encouragement. I am sorry for your recent thunderstorm; but after every storm the sun does eventually come out! :flowerforyou:0

I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I hope treatment is going well for you. I'll send you an invite to be friends. I'm on every day. I have Type 2 Diabetes, and decided that enough was enough and I needed to lose weight. My sister-in-law also gave me the push I needed when she had me join her for a Zumba class one day back in February and told me about this site. I've been here ever since. I support the people I have on here too and like their feed back as well.0

I will send a request . I too have thyroid problems. It isn't thyroid cancer, but I have Hashimoto's. It can be quite frustrating. I don't care what anyone says, thyroid wreaks havoc on weight. I have gained about 15 pounds since summer, so I can relate with you on the quick weight gain too.0

Welcome back and keep hanging in there. Focus on one day and the next will take care of itself.0
