in Introduce Yourself
Hello all. I can't tell you how happy I was to find this site! I gained 30 pounds this past year, and recently found out it was due to hypothyroidism, Since then I have been battling all this extra baggage, from my thyroid problem and my two beautiful boys :)
I'm excited to know I'm not on this journey alone, and hope I can help encourage others.

    Welcome! Are you considering the bariatric surgery, or a weight loss plan by doing it on your own?

    Doing it all on my own :smile: I'm studying nutrition science, so I do pretty well at eating right, I just need the right motivation to get exercise :tongue:

    Good for you- we know it is hard work, but the great feeling of losing weight can't be beat. I have met with a bariatric Dr. and am under his supervision a this time. My insurance requires 6 months of supervision before the surgery could be oked. I am still a bit on the fence if I should do the surgery or not. So I am with you for now- losing on my own. I think is is a super great tool. I love it- glad you found it.
    This is a great place for support. I have already gotten a lot out of reading comments and helpful hints along this process.
    Good Luck to you and would like to be able to help each other out:)

    Thank you! The supplements & such scare me, since I never really know what's in them. :ohwell:
