Hi from NSW Mid-North Coast! (Australia :))

Options
I'm a 37 yo mum of two girls. I've gained a lot of weight in the last year due to medications and hypothyroid (which was also caused by meds!). I was always very athletic, and being 30kgs heavier is very alien to me! It's hard to watch your own daughter wear clothes that you bought for yourself (she is 11, btw!).

So, looking for some friends to keep my motivation up there. I've worked hard on my mental health, now it's time for the physical! :)
