in Getting Started
Hello I'm new here!
I'm 23 and live in England.
I have 113lbs to loose.
I have all the motivation in the world untill I'm presented with a packet of biscuits or a pice of cake!
I need a kick up the butt!
I am going to be maid of honour at my best friends wedding, 1st October 2016
I would like to reach my goal in that time or at least be very close!
I do have an under active thyroid, which I am not taking any medication for but I am on supplements.
I also wish to change my lifetime habit of being a couch potatoe, and make exercise a regular part of my life!

Please anyone of a similar age, weight or mindset add me and let's take this journey together!

I will be an active member of the community

Good luck to all! XoXo

    Hi

    I'm 22 in England too.
    I have about 42lb to loose.
    I am the same it gets to about 3pm and i'm dying for a chocolate bar or a biscuit (or half a pack) with a cup of tea.
    My own wedding is February 2016 and would love to be around 126lb.

    I would love to support you and vice versa (i.e have a chat rather than eat a choco bar :) )

    Good Luck!!

    Hey! I'm 20 years old (...or I will be in a month haha) and I've got about 90lbs to lose. I'm doing Slimming World but counting calories too because I can't control my portions at all. I'd have 300g of pasta everytime if I could! I'm a super chocolate fan too and it's hard to resist eating all the fun sized packets at the same time!!

    Happy to be here for a chat and to support each other :D

    Hello!
    Im 23 and I have around 115 pounds to loose. I would love to get there by the end of next summer or close to there. I would love to help motivate.
    I love carbs. That is my problem. My husband is currently not on a diet so it makes it hard when he wants to go eat at a fast food restaurant. I also am a couch potato but I am starting 30 day shred by jillian michaels tomorrow when I get it.

    Hey all. I'm 23 as well with about 100lbs to lose as well. I'm a sucker for the cakes and carbs. They are just so yummy. But I have to start to think about food as an energy source instead of a boredom fix. I think it's finally time to bunker down and stick to this for the long run. I'd start for a few weeks then fall off the wagon and then have to start all over again. it's been never ending for me.

    Time to stick with it. I'll be on here so anyone feel free to add me. There's no such thing as too much support!

    I want to let you know that you CAN do this and the best way to get started is to get moving, go outside, get away from the food and just say NO!

    Heya. I'm also 23, about 100 or so pounds to lose (I think, will re-evaluate when I get closer). Anyone can give me an add, I don't bite. Much.

    I am going to be the Matron of honor at my friends wedding in September 2015. We are wearing Lehengas, which is similar to a Saree. Basically, parts of my tummy may show! I started doing Stronglift 5x5, mostly because I just wanted to start lifting, but an exposed stomach is extra motivation for me, especially as I have a lot to lose!

    Hey everyone :) I'm 22 (almost 23) and trying to lose about 30 lbs - it's not so much about the number, as it is about getting fit and healthier. 2-3 years back I've lost about 30-40 lbs in kind of a short period (6-8 months) but it was just by eating very little and not exercising at all and in a period of about 2 years it almost all got back. Trying to make it right this time :)
