Hi,
My name is Dee. I am new to the community. I am trying to lose 70lbs. Now that I'm writing this, it seems like a lot. I want to feel healthy and happy. Since I have been diagnosed with Thyroid disease, it has been very hard to lose weight.
I'm trying my best, but I am starting to think about sneaking in a bad item every now and then. I haven't done it yet, and I don't want to. If someone wants to leave a kind word or two, or motivational words of encouragement I would be very grateful. :)

    Hi Dee!
    I'm Sam (28/f/Canada). I am new too. My goal is to lose 100lbs. I have a problem with sneaking items in, yikes. I admire you for going cold turkey :smile: Keep going! You'll start seeing results before you know it.

    I really appreciate your support. Thanks sooo much! How have you been doing so far? I'm surprised that I'm doing well. I have been motivated by using this app and seeing the results. I'm dredging hitting the wall. We all go through that point when dieting where the weight doesn't budge. Sometimes that's the reason why a lot of people give up. I'm determined push past it!
