in Introduce Yourself
Hi all. My name is Ciara and I am beginning my weightloss journey. I am 5"6 and 185 pounds at present and hope to get as close to 140 as possible before Christmas. I am struggling immensely with the exercise as the cause of my weight gain was injury related and resulted in sitting up for 6months and being quite limited for up to one year.

Ive set myself 45 mins a day of brisk walking with a little jog where possible. I have extremely low self esteem at present and feel very self loathing about the state I have let myself get into. I hope to make a few comrades through this journey and look forward to receiving advice/tips and maybe one day being able to help others.

    Hi Ciara

    I can relate to how you feel, especially the self loathing part!! I have put on weight due to an injury, which I had an operation for last year, but since then I have had no motivation to exercise. I used to enjoy going to my fitness classes, which were Body Jam & Body Pump - especially Body Jam, I love it!!

    I am looking to lose about 50lbs & will be going back to my Jam class this evening (also on Thursday & Saturday) & I will go to the gym before my class starts. I also intend to try & walk more. I feel by writing this down, I need to carry it out - as I am still not 100% focused yet, even though I am so fed-up with myself.

    Good luck with it all & hopefully in the next few months we will be helping others with tips etc.
