Hi all-

I'm a 33 year old working-mother of 3 beautiful children. I am looking to develop healthy lifestyle and get to a healthy weight which mean 50 pounds need to go. I have used MFP successfully in the past but I have since had a total thyroidectomy. I had the thyroid removed about 3 years ago. I lost weight easily before that and was at a comfortable weight but then got pregnant with my third (and final) baby. Long story short I gained a lot of weight during the pregnancy and have struggled to loose post thyroidectomy and baby! So...friend me if your dedicated and looking for motivation and support as well

    Here are a couple of great articles to read. They will really help you get your calories and macros lined out to help you on your journey! It's really great if you can find a partner to work with on food and exercise... challenge each other and make it fun. Good luck!!

    feel free to add me. I've lost over 90lbs, have managed to keep it off for 2 years and just recently got into single-digit body fat %. I love to share and receive positive vibes.
