in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, my name is Joy. I'm brand new to this app and looking forward to getting to know all of you.
After yesterdays Dr. Visit, and feeling totally defeated by the weigh in, I am taking docs advise and going to make some changes. Three years ago I had a total thyroidectomy, and have blamed my weight gain on that. I entered what I ate yesterday and was disgusted, so today is a new beginning with the help of each of you my goal is to become healthy and happy. I currently weigh 253, my doctor and I have set a goal of 15 pounds loss by my next visit (90days).
Wish me luck and thank you for being here to be part of this journey.

    Hi Joy: I understand feeling defeated but the good news is...you are not! Otherwise, you would not be here. Take heart, we can all do this together.

    Welcome. Thyroid issues here also. Calorie deficit is really working for me. Good luck and add me if you like. :)
