I'm now I'm in a new relationship have been for nearly 3 years then we started going out places eating out takeaways chips cakes etc and now I'm a size 20 I moved in with him (I met him online) he lived 4 hours away!! So I decided to move out at the age of 17 left all my friends now I live in a little village where where's no people my age and towns about a hour and a half away. So I'm struggling to make new friends and I have no confidence even more so now I've put on weight. I also have moderate learning difficulties witch don't help :(

So here I am I want to change my life arround I want to be able to buy nice clothes again etc. wanting to get to 11st ! I now weigh 15st 13.

Would be nice to meet some new people x

Any tips that can help Much appreciated xx

    Hey, I'm new too ! I feel the same way, I want to feel better buying clothes too! Are you working out? And what's your diet like?

    That's good that you don't have much junk at home, that's my main problem. I love to snack all day and get no excercise . Walking the dog seems like a good work out, I have a dog too so I should start there lol I started dieting today though !

    You have lost weight before which gives you an advantage of repeating! First thing you can do is change your diet, not necessarily cutting out everything but moderating your meal and serving sizes. Since you live in the country that gives you a great place to work out! You could trying hiking, biking, walking the dog or even start jogging or running. It is tough to meet new people in a strange place but maybe you could try volunteering at any places around you.

    You just need to realize you are doing this for you and your health, if you really put your mind and body to it you will have no problem losing the weight you want to get rid of! :) Best of luck!

    Thank you I've now noticed I can't eat big meals I feel to full after about 5 spoon fulls. I've brought myself some weight watchers stuff ready meals etc I'm struggling to drink 8 cups of water a day I can only manage about 3 cups and I've been on water for 6 days I've always struggled to drink lots x I weighed myself today and I've lost about 3 pounds! I need to get out of the habit of weighing myself everyday and only weigh myself every Tuesday I know weighing myself every day is a big no no x
