Good morning FitnessPals!

I am a 36 yo SAHM of 2 boys (14, 3). After my first son was born, I was diagnosed with Thyroid disease, and it was removed. After my second son was born, I was diagnosed with PCOS. See the pattern? I think it's safe to say I'm done having kids! :D

I am tired of using medical problems as an excuse for being overweight, and as a "free pass" to eat what I want. My first goal on this journey is to stop telling myself "I might as well eat it, I'm never going to lose any weight". I know better. I'm looking forward to meeting other people who are working to become more fit and healthy, and can't wait to learn and share with others.

So, here's to a new start and a happier healthier me!

    Welcome to the site!! This is a great place for motivation and support. I too have many health problems and for way too many years have used that as an excuse to not exercise and as my excuse for my weight... Good luck on your journey!!
