Hi
 

My name is Sandy. I need help! Seven years ago I started gaining a lot of weight. I have always struggled to manage my weight. Now it's even harder! In the last two years I have put on over 200 pounds! Yikes! I am 5'7 and weigh 375 lbs I look like an overfed pear! Part of it was stress eating, the other a thyroid that decided to go on a permanent vacation. I feel like a hippocrit. I am in the medical profession and have to counsel people on weight management. I want to set a better example for not only them but my family as well. I can't do this alone. I have tried. I want my health back. I want to help people like me struggling to lose weight but I can't seem to lose it myself. Help!

Hi Sandy, I think you will find support here - I seem to. I am new as well, and also in the medical profession, and want to be healthy for myself and my family. We can cheer each other on.
