Hi! New Here!

Hi everyone!

I'm Sarah, 28, and from Lancashire.

I've been up and down with my weight for the last 5 years or so due to ill health mostly (I've had both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, an ovarian tumour and I currently have chronic fatigue syndrome) but really started to struggle with my weight after I had to have radiotherapy just over 2 years ago (for my thyroid).

Although I managed to lose 2 stone a few years back I put it back on recently because of my CFS.

There are several reasons why I want to lose weight (my goal is 41 pounds); my general health, it's helps with my CFS, my brother is getting married in September and I don't want to ruin the pictures and finally I would like to start a family in the next few years and want to be in the best possible shape to do that.

I'm hoping that by joining a weightloss forum (for the first time) that it'll help with the motivational side of weightloss and give me some really good ideas about how to go about getting rid of the excess for the final time! Plus I'm hoping to meet some new people along the way!

So hello everyone!

Hi peaches
It is great that you have so many reasons to lose weight as that gives you so much incentive to keep going and get to your target weight. Good luck and let us know how you are doing. x

Hi and welcome. Good luck with the pounds.
