My name's Courtney. I'll be 27 in a little over a week. I'm from Austin, Tx. I've used MFP a few different times over the last several years. I usually do a great job for a few months then fall off the wagon. I have several health issues that make losing weight really hard. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, Hashimotos thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, and parahypothyroidism. I try not to let those stand in the way, but they slow my progress, which frustrates me. So I'm hoping I can find a friend/friends to help keep me accountable. I'm not doing any special diets, just making sure I have more calories going out than going in. I use a Fitbit Blaze to track my steps and exercise.

More about me personally: I work in Pharmaceutical Research. I love my boyfriend and my dog. I enjoy reading, music, learning, and occasionally sunbathing. I have wonderlust, love traveling, and hope I can travel more in the near future.

So if you feel like we could be friends and work together to lose weight/get healthy, let me know! :)

    I also have hypothyroidism and Hashis! I know exactly what you're going through. I've decided to finally lose weight and get healthy because I just had a little boy , he's now 3 months old , but he's my reasoning behind my motivation. I've lost 60 pounds so far and I have so much more to go. I'm 21 and I've been married for almost 2 years, currently I'm a stay at home mom but before I was in retail marketing . I'm highly motivated and I love working out and going on walks with my son and our dog. I think we could definitely be friends
