I’ve also dropped around 15kg!
Realistically my weight "journey" started 15 years ago when I had an orange sized growth removed with half of my thyroid gland. I had always been active, played sport and was a member of a gym, but with an under active thyroid no matter what I did the weight piled on.
Over the years my weight fluctuated up and down depending on if my meds were working. It wasn't until I decided to make my health a priority that things started to take a turn for the better.
I quit my job in Perth and moved back home to "The Gong" to make this happen. I joined Beachside in September 2016 and that's when things really started to change for me. I love the non-judgemental, supportive atmosphere that Kieran has built, and I found my love for exercise again. It is no longer a chore to workout and the days I do struggle it's the people that get me out of bed and to training, I am even getting up earlier now and going for a run most days beforehand.
The best thing is my blood tests are the best they have been in years, my thyroid is more consistently in a healthy range, and my mental clarity is 100 times better... oh and I’ve also dropped around 15kg! I still have a way to go, but I am now actually liking the person that looks back at me in the mirror.
