Welcome!! Good luck on your weight loss journey and remember to be kind to yourself!!

What i have done in the past is to keep things out of sight. I am less likely to go digging through cabinets and the refrigerator to find something to eat but if it out in plain sight the temptation is greater.

As far as working out I wouldn't worry about joining a gym or having a lot of equipment. A bike is great but there are also plenty of "bodyweight only" based workouts that keep you from having to put out a lot of money on equipment, it is also a nice place to start if you haven't been a regular exerciser. Good luck!!

I've struggled with my weight since I was 11 years old. My weight has fluctuated from 206lbs down to 135lbs over the years. I have never reached my goal weight and my self esteem is non existent. I finally decided that I am the only one who can change how I feel about myself and reaching that goal weight is a start.

Hi there I have been dealing with Thyroid disease for a few years now. They may have suggested waiting three months to test because your TSH is still considered to be in the "normal" (.5-4.5) range at 4.5. My advice is that if you don't feel well get tested, it won't hurt anything to check your other values. Good luck!

I'm 5'6" and 39 years old, my current goal weight is 128
