All About ME

Hi y'all.  I'm 28 years old and a full-time special education teacher.  I went from being extremely active as a zookeeper, to pretty sedentary as a teacher.  On top of that, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Thyroid Disease in August 2012.  I had a total thyroidectomy in April 2013 due to an enlarged thyroid covered in nodules.  Since then, my weight has steadily crept up. I've tried numerous times to incorporate exercise into my daily routine and make healthier choices, but each time changed nothing. I continued to gain weight.  I was then diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III in March 2015, along with Restless Leg Syndrome.  My starting weight is 230 pounds.  My ultimate goal is to get down to 150 pounds, which would put me at a normal BMI.  I have many hurdles to jump through, but I am determined to be as healthy as I can be.
