Introducing myself

Hey everyone,

I'm a 24 year old male from the UK (I've been avoiding uploading a profile picture, but I need to find one I'm happy with).
I got fat last winter, and it then took me six or seven months to lose about thirty pounds. It was a struggle as I didn't really know what I was doing to start with and I made many mistakes, as well as frequent comfort eating setbacks.
After dieting for so long I got fed up with it all, and thought as winter was coming it wouldn't matter as much, but I have since put on nearly another twenty pounds. I was going to wait until the start of next year before trying to lose weight again so that I could enjoy food over the next couple of months, but I've decided that's probably a bad idea and I should probably take control and try to lose weight now, slowly and carefully. It seems like winter is the hardest time to try to lose weight however.
Anyway, long and boring story short, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi really, and feel free to add me as a friend if you wish.
:smile:

    Welcome! Good choice starting now. I know what you mean about the pic, I chose to upload one I was specifically unhappy with for motivation :)

    Thank you!
    What a great idea, I think I'll take and upload one of my belly. Then I'll be able to see my progress too.
