Hello from England! Finally taken the plunge and decided to do something positive (what with the big Hawaii-5-0 approaching in December). I have 50lbs to lose (coindentally!). It would be lovely to make some friends with whom I can share the trials and tribulations. Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the trouble to post their Success Stories -- they are so inspirational and actually gave me the encouragement to sign up.:flowerforyou:

    Hi there! Welcome aboard! :smile:

    It sounds like we have a bit in common, as we have a similar amount of weight to lose, and I am not too far behind you in age!
    By the way, I live in Scotland, but I'm originally from England.

    I joined the site a few weeks ago, and I'm finding it very helpful. Hope you'll enjoy using it too. I will send you a friend request if that's OK :flowerforyou:

    Hi I just joined today too. I weighed myself for the first time in months and couldnt believe what I was seeing on the scale! Enough is enough! I cant take walking around like this anymore! I need to take charge and get my body back in good health! Only I can fix it, so I need to start immediately. I am getting married in October, and if I cant fit my dress I will be devistated!

    Heyyy :D
    Well I'm 18 from NY! I love sports and am on soccer swimming & track teams. I've gained some weight between seasons & because of a knee injury due to soccer. I grew up a chubby kid & lost a lot of weight when I entered my teenage years. I went from 145 to 108 pounds when I was 13 through starving myself & throwing up. Now that I look back I remember all those people I hated for trying to help me and wish I could thank them for trying to help me see how things really were. I remember I weighed 108 and still thought I was fat :( Now I weigh 140 pounds at 5' 4" and I want to lose weight the right way this time because the other way slowed down my metabolism -.- My ultimate goal is to weigh 125 pounds and be at a state where I am truly happy with myself :) I would love to make friends on this site so we can help each other reach our goals through motivation! :)
