Hello!

Hi,

I heard some women talk to each other about this site on my way to work the other day and thought I would have a look for myself. They were saying how much being on here had helped them and it really made me think...

I've been trying to lose weight for a while now and things were going ok, up until about a month ago when I just lost interest in trying to lose weight. But I have now realised that I am more sick of being unhappy with my weight and that losing weight is my only option. So as of today I am starting again.

I would love to make some friend to support and motivate me and I promise to do the same. I am hoping this site can keep me going as my biggest issue is that I don't feel like I have any support. I really don't talk to ANYONE about trying to lose weight. I do mention the odd thing to my boyfriend who is really supportive! But I still only tell him little bits.

Recently I have noticed that my weight has more of an effect on me...I am 25 and am at university. Unlike most of my friends, I dread nights out. Mainly because I hate getting dressed up and that's because I really don't look the way I look.

Look forward to meeting new people :)

AllyS

    Hello and welcome to the site, don't loose heart, you'll find many supportive friends here for you, who you can talk about every aspect of your journey with. You'll also find people with similar goals to you. How much are you trying to loose?
  • I downloaded the app on my ipod, but just kept my food diary to myself, and it didnt work out so well. So i decided that i'm going to get back on track and add some friends so that ill have more motivation. I dont talk to anyone about losing weight either, except one person (my best friend), which i am so happy for. I dread most nights out for the same reason as well, you're not alone!

    I really don't know an exact number but I'm aiming to lose about 25-30kgs as I get near my goal I'll reassess!
