I'm new to this website and thought I'd introduce myself, My name is Amanda I am 23 years old and I have been working on my life modification since July 2006. My starting weight was somewhere over 360+ unfortunately I couldn't find a scale that actually went up any higher to determine my true weight, I'm 5'10 tall. I was diagnosed with hypothyrodism(underactive thryroid) in Sept 06 currently my weight is 255 lbs. Goal is 190!!! SO CLOSE!!!
I do know that the medication I'm on has helped me loose so much so fast but I do work out twice a day during the week and my eating habits have changed incredibly! I have tried this before on numerous occasions and for some reason or another I'd quit, until I realized that you just can't call it a diet anymore!! This has to be a lifestyle change and you definetly have to be motivated and more determined than ever!! When my grandmother passed away in Sept I made a promise to her that I was going to lose all of my weight, feel good and be healthy and I'm well on my way!! Everyday I hope that she says my progress and she's proud of me! I would love to talk to anyone who needs a buddy/partner because I can definetly use one as well, it's not easy when you are exercising at night while your significant other is eating chips and cupcakes in the bedroom on the bed!
