Hello everyone! So I've spent the last few days of having a wee snoop on your forum I finally decided to join in the hopes that maybe some of your motivation and massive achievements will rub off on me!
Over the last few years the pounds have been creeping on...and on...and on!! I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to taking care of myself, so I'm hoping if I've got somewhere to write down my bad habits I might stop doing them!! It's hard getting the support from family and friends because they don't really always understand, so it would be good to find others that are going through the same thing.
So anyway! I'm sitting around 13st at the moment (for someone who is 5 foot 2 inches, that pretty heavy!) and I'd love to get down to 9st 7lb or 9st if I'm being really ambitious! But I've always been curvy and to be honest I'd rather keep the curves on my top half, so if that means settling for 10st or something then so be it as long as I'm happy! (is that bad of me...?)
I think more than anything else I just want to feel healthy again. I'm terribly bloated, I feel sluggish and just generally icky! There are things that I can do with very little effort that will help me, but just out of sheer apathy I don't. About 8 years ago I was told I had an underactive thyroid and at the time I was young and figured since I was doing aright it didn't really matter if i took my medication or not. Now I'm a bit older I think it's finally catching up on me and it's a habit I need to change!!
Anyway, I can sit here and go on all day so sorry for the massive rant! I hope to get to know everyone a bit better over the next wee while and I hope you can all maybe help kick me into shape!!!
Thanks
