nikki, if you haven't already had your thyroid checked, ask your doctor to do so. It is often an inhibitor to weightloss if it isn't acting appropriately. Mine is checked annually because both of my sisters have had difficulties with theirs. The initial tests are just simple blood tests. Abnormal results lead to additional tests, which I've not endured.

I'm pleased to hear that you are going to consider a personal trainer. :)

maddy my thyroid is perfect. the only thing i have is LOW blood pressure (how that for ironic) and extremly high testosterone. i get the other levels checked once a year just to make sure but ya all else is well, im actually very healty. ive not had the problems that come w being fat but the drs are stressing out over it and i want to be sexy again !!! i miss all the heads turnin, i get a few still but not like highschool!!! LMAO i know i know im vain! cant help it

In many ways we are in the same boat nikki... except I'm not quite determined as you are... I've always been overweight, but my health is very good. I also don't suffer the many ailments that come with the extra weight. Unfortunately for me it's a part of the unmotivating factor to losing the extra pounds.

Best of luck to you... keep your mind on the track of finding a solution that works for YOU and you will succeed.
