Wow, so many inspiring stories and so many of us struggling.....

I've been up and down all my life. I was a chubby kid and my 3 older sisters always called me fat. I lost 28 pounds in 5th grade. Stayed at a weight/height proportion until the freshman 15. It's been a battle since then. After my baby 4 years ago I used the Power 90 program and dropped 25 pounds. This last winter saw the return of the final 15 and now I'm disgusted with myself.

I have a thyroid problem - Graves. I'm off of meds but with my last labs it looks like I'm going to go hypO. I'm terrified I will blow up like a balloon if I go hypo and my endo is no help. I'm also getting over a hand injury and just getting back on my bike so I really feel out of shape. I would love a buddy to keep me in check, on track and motivated!
