Hi - I'm new on here.

Hi everyone - I'm Tracey, I'm 42 years old and from the UK. I've decided that in 2011 I'm going to lose weight, get fit and get my life back. I've been putting on weight for the last few years (I've always been big but have lost weight in the past only to put it back on again and more) which has resulted in me isolating myself from everyone and having no social life anymore. Decided enough was enough so here I am. Started my diet yesterday and was horrified by how much I weigh - 374LBS. I know its going to be a long road to get to the weight I want to be but I feel so positive now I'm doing something about it

Welcome Tracey and congrats for making this choice. You're ahead of the game already with the right attitude, a postive one! The mind is a brilliant thing when we use it to our advantage. Please don't look at it as a 'diet' but rather a lifestyle makeover! I can tell from your introduction you've got the willpower and attitude to make this happen. Good luck and I will be rooting you on! Cheers.
