in Getting Started
Well i an here to start again. I lost about 30lbs using this site 2 years ago. I felt great . Then i started to have a hard time finding energy to exercise. And when i stopped exercising the bad good habits came back and i gained most of it back.

So i finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism(hashimotos). Now i am on meds and starting to get my energy back. Now i need to get back on the path to health. My mom is 55 and has so many health issues that could be prevented with a healthy lifestyle.

I an looking for friends to keep me motivated and hold me acceptable because it helped before and i know it can again. I will also be there for you!

    hi! my name is Erica and I have also had a rocky fitness journey. I lost 50 pounds between july-january of this past year and unfortunately gained 30 of it back. I'm back down 10 pounds so I only have 20 more to lose to be back at -50. my motivation went completely dead and I am in it for the long run this time! I am 21 years old and although I do not have any medical issues, I have been in the morbidly obese weight range since I was in elementary school and always had a tough time with losing weight. I would like to help you on your journey! I think we both could be good motivators for each other :)
