I have been a secret browser of this site for a while. Honestly I genuinely feel there is no way for me to lose weight unless I keep track of my calories and exercise. For the last week waiting for my net to be sorted I have been trying to eat better - but it's just horrible. There are times just before I ram food in my mouth (hungry or not) where I ask myself "will this help me get that bikini body and do I even NEED it?" - I am able to say no. But there are times I binge and am not even aware of how much I have eaten until I'm lying in bed with anxiety.

I am fed up. THIS is my year. I want to look back and say 2015 is when I turned my life around. I'm 25, female, 5'6 (166) and 15stone (210). I don't look good. I can barely go for a short walk without my legs aching. I feel disgusting and intimacy isn't even on the table (my poor boyfriend). I am probably not the only one that feels/felt like this. I can't judge anybody on their fears or reasons.

Feel free to add me - to make each other accountable and to support each other. God knows, I can't do this alone.... x

    Start tracking everything you eat...whether you have a good day or a bad day. You may find that your bad days could have easily been saved with just a little tweak here or there. I find that if I start out the day well and low calorie then I'm much more set up for a successful day than if I start out with a higher calorie meal. I also try to make almost every calorie count....lean proteins (I eat a LOT of chicken!), fruits and veggies are your friend...full of fiber to keep you full and other good nutrients. BUT...if I feel like a potato or a piece of toast, I'll have it and track it.

    You can totally do this, log in to MFP and track, track, track!
