in Introduce Yourself
I've recently turned 30 and am desperate to change my fitness and body image. I spent my 20's unable to stick to a diet/fitness plan and covered up in clothes I didn't particularly like in order to hide my wobbly bits. The problem is I lack confidence and am too embarrassed to run outside or go to the gym. I pay membership every month but am too shy to go. Does anyone have any advice that would help? I don't want my 30's to be the same as my 20's. As I'm only around a stone overweight whenever I try and speak to people I know about it they laugh and say it's all in my head. Could really do with some support

    I will be 29 at the end of the month and I want to be down to 150 when I turn 30 next year. I weigh in 174 right now. In my 20s, I was always 240-260 and I hated it. I am totally there with you and I would love to do my best to help you on your journey. We are both in the same boat when it comes to the age issue.

    Thank you and well done for the weight loss! I just find in so difficult to stay motivated. I always give up. Did anything help you?

    Welcome and hurrah for changing your mindset to a more positive body image!!
    I'm 31, stuck around 260lbs, hate it. I've banned the scales and am sticking to eating lean, green and clean as well as working out twice a day... I will only weigh and measure myself once a month.
    It is hard work but I feel so much better in myself and having banned myself from the scales means I don't want to stray from clean eating because I don't know if I've lost anything or gained etc.
    I find logging my food - the good, bad and the ugly on here and on instagram really helps keep me accountable and on track.
    Good luck in your journey - feel free to add me!
