edited November 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys, just want to introduce myself. I never had issues with my weight till about 16 when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Since then Ive rapidly put in weight and many times tried to lose but always fail. I binge eat and have terrible impulse control. I just had my son 5 months ago and I feel worse now than I ever have before and am at my highest weight of 260lbs. I want to be healthy and feel good for my son so any tips, motivation, anything is appreciated! Also new friends to keep me motivated would be awesome! Nice to meet you all

    Feel free to add me :smile: We're in the same boat, I suppose. I've got 2 kids of my own and after my second one was born was when I started to pack on the pounds. So I started on this weight loss journey because I too want to do this for my kids and live long enough to see them have children of their own.

    Welcome!

    You can do it Shayann. It's easiest when you have friends on here that are logging in daily and making it fun and somewhat competitive. Feel free to add me as well. Best wishes.

    You can do it! This app is awesome, but you really must want to change something.
    It took me four years(!) until that happened for good.
