Just joined a few moments ago, I am excited and motivated to lose weight all I am missing is the confidence to move forward with my goals, That's where hopefully y'all come in
. I am a 22 year old college student with the stresses of everyday life. However, here's my real struggle, at age 11 I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism....at age 16 with the doctors help it was flopped to Hypothyroidism, in other words it is hard for me to lose weight and I hate it. I don't know many people with the same issue and I am hoping to be able to meet someone with the same struggle. Don't get me wrong I am a friendly individual and would like to know as many people as possible no matter what. We can support each other through our ups and downs and laugh at are past selves later down the road knowing that this is the best thing we have ever done for our future selves. -Let's get it started!

I'm 23 and in college too, so I know how it is. It's really hard to stick to eating healthy and eating every few hours when you have to be in class or studying endlessly. Thankfully, it's the summer for me now and I pushed through pretty well with the last semester lol. I started right when it turned 2014 so I'd have a starting goal that was a little bigger than "I'm starting TODAY! Im serious this time!" lol because that was always too easy for me to break. But I knew I needed to start this so I could be happy, confident, and be who I really want to be. I wish you the best of luck during this, and you really can do it if you want it. =]0
