My last "go" at WW was at the start of 2006 (jan to march) and I failed to lose weight during that time. WW leader suggested I go to the doctor as I was following my points and the lbs just were not shifting. March 2006, after some tests, I was diagnoised with hypothyroidism and am now on 100mcg levothyroxine daily. Those lbs still haven't shifted despite my hypothyroidism being treated!
Being this much overweight (210lbs at 5ft 3in) is getting me down and being a UK size 20-22 makes clothes shopping almost impossible. My search for clothes starts by looking through the store to see what they have in my size instead of looking at what I actually like. Not good.
I have 2 young daughters - DD1 is 3 and a half and DD2 is 21 months. I don't want to be the fat mummy at the school gates come a year and a bit when my eldest starts proper school....but more than that I would love to be fitter and more able to play with my kids properly now. I am ashamed to say I never take my kids to the park unless I have someone else with me incase one of them runs off and I can't catch up with them before they get to a road etc.... This is not how I want my life to be! I am also terrified that my kids will grow up with a skewed view on food - mummy always on a diet etc....
So anyway, here I am all 210lbs of me hoping to shrink before your eyes, I have a feeling I am going to need all the help I can get!
take care everyone

Again, good luck to you!
