Hi everyone. I'm new to the site so looking for some friends for support and motivation. I'm Gemma, I'm 27 and live in Blackburn, Lancashire with my fiancé and our 2 jack russells I'm a French and Spanish secondary school teacher. I've always had a problem with my weight and having failed at many diets in the past, I'm getting to the end of my tether with myself! I've recently been diagnosed with an under active thyroid and have started thyroxine so I'm hoping that will make it easier to shift some weight. Please feel free to add me as I need as much support as I can get!
