Hi! My name's Loren and I'm 21. I did a lot of fad diets when I was younger (encouraged by my parents) and nothing ever seemed to stick past a certain point. I'm hoping that by posting here I'll give myself some motivation to stick to it past what I usually do. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a few years ago and since then I've been steadily gaining weight. I'm looking to lose about 135lbs in the next year or so (fingers crossed) so that I can be healthier and get a much needed self-esteem boost! Looking forward to meeting some friends and get some tips!
