Hi
I am new here. I have started losing weight on my own, but I feel that I need some support and I have found this website. I would like to give it a go. I like the simplicity of this site, I am not very technical myself, but joining and writing was easy. I hope that tracking is easy too! I am optimistic about my weight loss. However, I found that I used to gain weight during stress periods, but used to lose it so fast. Now, I suppose a number of factors are in my way and I have been able to lose 4 kg over a 5 month period, not great! I feel a bit of a failure, but still want the challenge. I enjoy exercising, but at present I cannot run, which makes all the difference to my weightloss. I used to run a lot and now my heel is hurting, I need to lose weight to get rid of the pain, but I need to run to lose weight. Here we go.

Other exercises I do: body balance, yoga, body pump. I know, cardio is not here, working on it. Will do bike 30 minutes tomorrow.

please feel free to join me as a friend, especially if you have got similar goals/problems.

    Hi, I had 12 kilos to lose when I started, now I'm one month in and 3.3 kilos down. I also have terrible feet which limit some of the exercises I can do. : ) Feel free to add me.

    Thank you, girls, I already feel that there is support here and I have only been here for 1 day! I guess the last 10-5 kg are the most difficult to lose, but most rewarding when you get the result. Today I realised that what i need to change, it is the sugar intake and fat! I really do nto eat a lot, but find so difficult to lose the midsection.
