Hey all! I am a newbie!!

My name is Amanda. I have struggled with my weight for a long time. I discovered part of the problem was my thyroid however sometimes I think I just use that as an excuse when I am not losing any weight. I have tried so many times to lose the extra weight and every time I have given up on myself. I am tired of doing that and I am ready to fully commit myself to this battle! I plan on winning the war of fat! I am looking for motivation from others but I know that I have to be a motivation for myself, if I am going to do this and stick with it.
A little background on me....I am married to a wonderful man and have been for 4 1/2 years. We have a doggy named Boo that I love as if he was my actual son. We also have 2 kitties, Blue and Holly, who are my babies too...No actual children though. Maybe one day. I am a dispatch supervisor on the night shift for the local 911 agency, so I do a lot of sitting.
Well I hope I hear from some of you and thank you for reading this if you did stop by
