Hi everyone,
I posted elsewhere on the forum but decided I should have an actual intro post. I'd love to make some buddies on here to help keep me motivated & on track since I don't have a ton of support offline.
My name is Kayla & I'm 25 years old. I live at home still which kind of hinders my weight loss because although I buy my own food... other people in the house buy a lot of junk food and resisting is so hard! I'm currently in a long distance relationship with a wonderful girl. I don't have children, but would like to in another 6-8 years or so. I have four cats & a dog. I currently work as a nanny for twin 3 year old girls and I love it.
I've struggled with my weight my entire life & was diagnosed with hashimoto's & metabolic syndrome in my teens. In November 2011 I was at my highest weight of 330 pounds. I've gotten down to 266 since then but still have quite a ways to go to my goal of 150 currently.
Right now I'm counting calories with myfitnesspal & am going to the gym 3x a week. I'm feeling really really good and motivated at the moment and I really want to change my life for the better.
