Hi there, I'm new!

Arborea · 02-13-2012, 11:32 AM

Hello.
I'm new here and after I've read through so many interresting posts on this board, after which I still didn't know where to start posting I just figured I should start here.

I don't know my weight at the moment since I don't have any scales at home, because somehow I tend to start sabotaging my weightloss sucesses when I get to certain numbers. Instead I'm measuring. But I know that my highest weight was around 350lbs.
I (re)started low carb in january and since then I've lost almost 5 inches!
Losing weight has never been easy for me, because I, like many others here as I have read, have hypothyroid ( hashimoto's) but since I'm on medication it kind of works.
Right now I'm happy with the way things go, but I might need some inspiration from time to time, and of course support if needs be and that's why I came here.

Welcome Arborea! This is a great place to come for information, support, advice and motivation from people who know what you are going through. Look around at some of the daily threads and join one that you like. This is the best way to get to know a small group of people for daily support. Those of us in the Valentines Day challenge will go to be in the new "April Fools" Challenge starting on Wednesday, come by and join, we'd love to have you.

When I looked around yesterday my head was buzzing

And thanks for the invitation to the April Fools Challenge. I'll be dropping by!

I too am a hypo. I have had the best success with losing weight when I follow LC. Youll find lots of support here. I'm new too, and I find the best thing to do is to jump right in.

Best of luck.
