Hello!
My name is Jami and I'm a 28 year-old mom of 2 awesome kids (well, make that 3 if you include my husband
). I have been on an uphill battle with my weight since I had my son almost 11 years ago. I weighed 120 lbs when I got pregnant with him and it seems like I just gradually gained over the years no matter what I did. About 5 years ago I took lexapro for a short period of time and within a month after I stopped it I gained 15 lbs. I couldn't seem to get that weight to budge. Then in the past year, I've developed hypothyroidism (although it is not extremely bad at this point, it runs in my family so I'm guessing it will only get worse). I've gained at least 20 lbs in the past 8 months or so. I started medication for my thyroid about 3 weeks ago and I believe I have lost about 4 lbs on it, but I won't know for sure until I go back to the doctor next week (I don't trust my scale, lol).
I'm going to start a diary on here and I'll probably give a more detailed background in it. Basically, I just wanted a place to go to talk to people that are going through the same types of issues that I am and hopefully I can provide some support for others as well!
