Hi All,
I am trying to get some off for the umpteenth time and change my lifestyle eating habits in the process. It is really hard because I tend to use my "suit of armor" to protect me. I guess one of my doctors was right when he said "all this is hurt, disappointment, not being loved, etc." I just don't know how to stop it now that I have hypothyroidism and my body doesn't want to give me the energy to lose it. I have always been tired even when I was not overweight. But as years went by and illnesses accumulated I got more tired even before all the added weight gain. Now I live on medication to keep me awake and it doesn't do a very good job so I don't have a lot of energy to exercise. Exercise is crucial to weight loss. The more muscle you have the easier it is to keep the weight off. Muscle burns fat. I will start slow and try to stay on track and dust off my treadmill and take the clothes of the handle.

GO FOR IT AND GOOD LUCK!! I'm sure you can do it! Maybe you can try certain types of tea; some are very good at energizing. Even if it's for only awhile, it'll be good to get that little bit of workout in! You can message me whenever you feel you need to talk or need some support or even ideas.

Hope to hear from you! ^_^

Welcome ogfarmer!

Great job on trying again - even if it is for the umpteenth time. You haven't given up! It's great you already have a treadmill.

Good luck in your weight loss journey.
