Hi fellow forum members :)

I was innocently looking for a site which would tell me how many calories was in a corn on the cob when i stumbled upon myfitnesspal. I really liked the interface and app and have been lying to myself for the past 7 years about my weight. I have decided again to try to lose quite a large amount of poundage and Ive never been down the road of having 'friends' to help., So i thought i would throw myself in wholeheartedly and post on the forums.

Without further ado, my name is Bea and I have put on approx 4 stone in 12 years and I cannot be this big anymore. My clothes dont fit and boys dont like me ;) Im looking for friends to help me once and for all stick to a healthy eating plan and inspire me.

Does anyone wanna help me achieve these goals ? :) xx

    Hello everyone,

    Today marks the beginning of my life changing journey. I have been overweight my entire life and only dieted once. I pretty much accepted this weight and continued to live life. However, my perceptions in life has been changing and I decided I want to live a healthier lifestyle. I noticed that my only child is overweight and will soon be obese just like me if he doesn't change his eating habits. I want to be an inspiration to him. I want to be here seven years from now to sit at his high school graduation. I want to teach him that our bodies are our temples and deserve to be treated with the up most care. I have abused my body and my health problems are a result of that. I don't want my son to go through what I am going through and have gone through. I seek friends who will encourage me when I want to turn back to my old habits. When I want to give up because it is hard. I seek friends that will uplift me on this journey and I too will uplift you. I have never attempted to change my life. This is scary but I believe in order to do something great you must do something you never did before. I am doing this. I always keep God in the midst of all I do but I believe he put angels here on earth to help us get through things also. So, I am calling on my angels at this moment in my life. If I never needed you, I need you now. Thanks for listening. :smile:
