I am 19 years old and I have been struggling with my weight my whole life. My senior year in high school I got pretty small due to being a varsity football cheerleader. I got down to 160 pounds and had 12.5% body fat. Now a year later I have gained 90 pounds. To be honest I am not sure how it happened. I went to the doctor and was checked for any medical condition thay may have lead to my massive weight gain. There was nothing wrong except the fact that my thyroid went on the fritz. They put me on a medication that will hopefully help in the weight loss, but it also requires eating heathly and exercising. Which is something i have fallen away from. I need someone to help me stay on track, because my thyroid is not all to blame i need to be accoutiable also. Here I go starting the jounrey that is not going to be a diet it is going to be a life style change.
