I have been pretty quiet since I signed up, because I am rubbish when it comes to staying power.

After lurking for a while, it is time to make some sort of start.

For now, my goal is just to work on keeping my food diary, and slowly reducing my calories to a weight losing amount. Sounds like a cop out - why don't I just cut them to the right amount? Because I don't have staying power and am a wreck, so I am trying to wean myself onto this without shocking my sytem stupid and sending it into a panic binge

:)

I can do with friends and support, and will be as supportive as I can in turn.

Nice to meet you all.

    Hello! Nice to meet you. :)

    You have to walk before you can run, right? Do whatever feels right and works for you. :) Everyone goes about achieving their goals in different ways. :)

    I've sent you a friend request!

    Everyone's gotta start somewhere! That used to be me, I'd start something and then cop out in like a week. But this time I'm more serious about it. Just like with anything else, you have to be ready and want the change. But we're all here for you! I'll add you! Anyone else looking for a motivational partner? Add me, I know I am!

    Hello! If that is how you want to approach your weight loss and you feel as if that will work, then go for it. Throw in a little exercise each day and gradually build on it as well. Do what feels right to you :flowerforyou:

    I don't think it's a "cop out" or anything... I prefer to call it "realism" :)

    Everyone is different, and knowing yourself is half the battle here. Feel free to add me, i'm always looking for motivational friends! Good luck, you can do it :) We ALL can!
