i'm looking for motivation and support--support mostly. i'm motivated cuz my husband and i want to start a family. i need the support cuz my family and friends are in nebraska and i'm in st. louis, mo. my friends here are either health nuts or don't need the same weight loss that i do. and my husband---i love him to pieces, but he's a freaking stick with the metabolism of a 15 year old! he can eat anything and never gain a pound. he can almost fit into jeans he wore in high school! (which i threw out by the way! i was so disgusted!
) anyway, i don't really feel alone here, but i know myself well enough to know that the more support the better. also, just to let you know, i found out recently that i have hypothyroidism and started medication for that. it's been about a month now and i can really tell i have more energy and it's a lot easier to get to the gym and workout. i feel like i'm in a better mood and my husband says i seem happier. anyway, i think that's about it for right now. i'm excited to be on here finally and can't wait to get to know everyone better! when i figure out how to post pictures i'll do that. take care and thanks for reading! lori
glad to have you here. You have definitely come to the right place for all the support you will ever need. I have been on countless diets since I was 18, so that's for 20 years, and never have I been able to stick to one for long. This time though, with the help of all the wonderful people here I am doing fantastically well, and I just know I will get to my ultimate goal. I am sure you will too, especially with the thought of a little baby as your reward
