Almost 40 and in need of less numbers on the scale

collywot

I've been mooching around here for a month or so, I'm getting there, I started at 108kg (238pound) I just snuck under the 100kg mark a few days ago. I just want some people in my friends so I can check out what other people are doing, what they're eating. I've spent a large portion of my life chunky, then I quit smoking and I kind of exploded. I'm amazingly lazy as a rule, so exercise has had to be a priority, get off that *kitten*. I love food so I'm actually enjoying the challenge of cooking better, the impact of this is feeding through to my family, literally, lol. So far, this experience is making me feel better, look better and hate the mirror less. I'd like to add some people just to be nosey really and to share this journey of de fattifying.

i know how you feel with the smoking. I quit a few months ago and gained a few pounds. I think I would of gained more if I didn't hit the gym hard that month. Well anyways i wish you luck on your journey.

I have sent a friend request.

I'm turning 40 in November - started at 16stone which is pretty near to your SW I think....

It's coming off slowly (I was hoping for a bit faster TBH) and I'm definitely feeling better:) I log in every day and am absolutely determined hat this time it's going to be a proper life style change and not something I do for a while then give up:) feel free to add me if you want

I sent a friend request. I know how you feel and have been in the same situation for a long time. So far being on this site and seeing the achievements of friends and also the support and encouragement has helped greatly.
