Just to Say Hi

Hello everyone! My name is Shanna and I am so tired of the weight I am carrying around. I just turned 35 and realized that I cannot and will not live with this unhealthy lifestyle any longer. My husband and I are the proud parents of an energetic little boy who is 2 1/2 years old. He is my world and currently I don't feel like I can keep up with him. I am Hypothyroid and had 1/2 of my thyroid removed in 2003 and every since then I have had a hard time keeping the weight off. I have never had a hard time losing weight or keeping it off until I was diagnosed. As a family, we are getting ready to move to Germany for my husband's next duty station. I am very excited but one of my biggest fears, which I have never had to deal with, is that my butt won't fit into the darn airplane seat. I am not going to be that girl!! I refuse to allow food to rule my life anymore and I will not allow it to remove years from my life with my son and husband. I signed up for MFP because I really need encouragement and someone to talk to every now and then. I noticed all the success stories and am hoping that I can find that same sucess. If there is anything else you would like to know, I am very outgoing and love to get to know new people. I look forward to this journey, no matter how long it takes! :)

    Welcome to MFP!:flowerforyou: I love this website and I just recommend inputting all your food and exercise on a daily basis. Stick to your calories and make goals for yourself that always helps me along. I'm sure you are going to do great!
