Feeling brave so saying hello...

Hello!

I thought I would be brave (not sure why it feels so nerve wracking!) and say hi :)

Most of my life I have been active and a healthy weight. I gained weight after having my children as I slacked off big time in looking after myself. Over a year ago I started to get back in shape, tracking my food and doing NROLFW. It was going great till I started to feel really ill, so much so, I barely had the energy to do anything. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and after months of tweaking meds I am starting to feel human again :)

Anyhow (get me, shy to post then giving you all my life story) I am now the heaviest I have ever been, at 5ft 3" I am 168 lbs and my goal is 130 (eeek, that much to lose?)

Looking forward to sticking at it this time and keeping my determination.

    Hi there!
    Hypothyroidism is tough!!! I'm impressed by you talking about yourself and not giving up - GO GIRL!!! I'm the heaviest I've ever been and I've started a couple of days ago. This page really helps me to keep determined. Feel free to add/contact me - everyone needs a bit of support from time to time; you're on the right track though, keep it up and well done!
