Hello, This is the year I need to get my weight under control. I hope to use this site as a motivational tool to keep me focused on my goals. I am a Thyroid Cancer survivor (2006), so that has made it a bit more challenging. I refuse to let that deter me from accomplishing my goal. I am looking for friends who will hold me accountable for keeping my exercise and food journals updated daily. I am going to put myself first this year. We can do this together !
Wow - it's inspirational to hear that you've survived thyroid cancer.
You've come to the right place for accountability and support. You might wanna have a look at the exercise/food accountability threads on the forum. Also, there's a 100lb club in the support forums section.
The past couple of days have been rough.. I haven't been feeling well - but I refuse to let that stop me from staying committed to my goal. My TSH #'s are way off right now - so my body is raging its own war inside. Once everything gets back to normal hormonally I know that I will do much better. It helps to be able to share this experience with you all. We can and will succeed on our journey in 2009.
Can I join in with you? I am so weak. I have no will power. I really need somebody inspirational like you to keep me going. You have a reason for it to be hard. I dont. I am just a big baby about it. I really need some good people to be around for this. I never set resolutions but I am tired of being chunky
You can do it. Just remember to set little goals for yourself and reward your self for your accomplishments. I have been on the yoyo plan for many years. In 1995 I lost a lot of weight and then got lazy and gained it all back. Then in 2004 I was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid, I was losing weight like crazy - I was in seventh heaven until my doctor told me that my weight loss was caused by this illness. Soon after treatment I started to gain weight - My doctors warned me that I would gain weight - so I exercised like crazy to try to prevent it. I still gained weight through all the exercise. I get angry because I cannot control this condition right now, but I do know that I need to exercise each and every day to stay on track, my scale is not moving right now,but eventually when my medication gets adjusted my doctor tells me I will be able to lose weight. I really hope that day comes soon. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who supports me at any weight. He understands what I am going through and keeps supporting me even though I don't feel very good about the way I look right now.
You can do this with me.. Remember this is our year to make ourselves a priority. Take time each day for "me" time. It is really worth it.
