Ready to lose the weight forever

My name is Stephanie. I've been struggling with Hashimotos for four years now and I'm ready to take back my life. Last year around this time I was 215 lbs 5'9. At the end of October I weight in at 198 lbs. However I gained it all back and plus more because I was stressing for dental hygiene boards. However, I am ready to lose this weight not for how people view me but for the way I want to feel healthier again. I need some support because without it I will fail and not have anyone to hold me accountable. Thank you so much looking forward to supporting each other.
