21, Hypo Active Thyroid, Working to Lose 100+ lbs

I'm a college student and I'm afraid if I don't lose it now I never will. I want to work in the medical field in the future. I'm easy to get along with & just looking for encouragement. I'm afraid I'll forget how important this is and give up again. If I'm going to look like anything when I'm done I hope I look like a pin up model. That's my goal. I won't fuss if I don't have a six pack. I just want to be healthy, happy, and comfortable.

    Hi! I also have hypothyroidism, though mine is considered subclinical and I was told it did not have any effect on my weight, but I'm sure it had a lot to do with it. I also hope to lose 100 pounds or so, I've lost 86 and am getting closer every day. Anyway happy to be friends on here if you'd like! :)

    I don't mean 100 more pounds, I mean my goal was to lose 100 pounds total, so, same goal!! :)
  • Hi, I'm hypothyroid as well, and have 140 pounds left to lose to meet my goal. Feel free to add me as a friend.
