Anyone Want To Be My Friend?

So, I've just started week 2 and I'd really like some friends on here (I know, don't we all want that?). My husband joined to support me in this but it's hard for me to always use him as motivation - after all, he can't always be honest about my weight loss... he likes sleeping in our bed :laugh: . For the most part I made it through week 1 ok - except for Sunday which I totally blew.

Just a little about me - I'm a mom of two and have waaayy too much going on... I'm Hypothyroid and went from 125 lbs to over 200 lbs before I was diagnosed (I say over 200 because I know I got a good bit bigger after that but I couldn't handle seeing a 2 so I stopped weighing myself when I hit 200). I've lost about 50 pounds since my diagnosis... 30 of that on weight watchers and the other 20 by fluke I guess. That said - i struggle with losing weight b/c I LOVE LOVE LOVE food and until my thyroid stopped working, I never had to think about what I put in my mouth. I've got about 40 lbs to go to be in a safe range (safe meaning I will probably put a little back on when I stop so I need a cushion).

    Good Luck here. It is a great site, you just have to use it. When I use the site I am successful. When I think I don't need it, I start failing again. Would love more friends too.

    Today is my second day on here. Our stories are similar! I used to be super fit and everything...then BAM gained 100 lbs because of being hypothyroid....
    I still struggle to lose the weight and have a lot farther to go than you, but seeing as we are both hypothyroid we should be friends!
    Go ahead and add me? I'm not sure hwo this works!

    It might be more fun to spend some time browsing the forums, posting on topics, reading other people's responses...then friending those people. Or I suppose anonymous friends are fun, too....

    Hi :)

    I'm about to send you a friend request....the more friends the better! I've just joined and already I think some of the advice and encouragement I've been given has been invaluable.

    We WILL achieve what we want! :)
