New here! Have to lose 40 pounds

Sarri93

Hey guys

I'm new to this site, and I'm looking to find some friends to help motivate me to lose this weight. I've always struggled with getting down to a healthy weight. I've never been small, but lately, I've gained a ton of weight, and I really need to get rid of it.
I'm wanting to join the Air Force, so that's gotten me motivated to push myself farther than I probably would have before. So yeah. Add me!

Hiya

Have also just joined and am looking to lose around 40 pounds. Have always been 'chunky' but have put on more weight over the last year. Having weighted myself recently I was shocked to find that I am officially 'obese' at 13 stone. I hate my clothes feeling so tight all the time, and that my belly is now getting in the way of my toes.

Have dragged myself to the gym the last 4 days out of 5 as I can usually motivate myself to work hard with some really good tunes on the ipod. I've always avoided calorie counting though - think I've kidded myself that I am eating healthily when the reality is that I have probably been eating double portions. Bit scared to think I am going to have to start calorie counting and also get my love of food under control.

Today 40 pounds sounds like an awfully high number.

Good luck with everything
