New buddies?

Hi everyone,

I've just started using MFP properly recently and have kept it up to date every day for about 2 weeks - im happy about this but horrified at the real truth of how many calories i eat on average!! even though I feel like im trying really really hard i keep on sabotaging things so no wonder i'm not loosing weight! I've just restarted exercising which does help to balance the books a bit but it's too early to see any difference yet and I cant run anymore as I've got back problems, so can only swim,use the cross trainer and cycle at the moment.

I'm embarrassed to ask but I could really do with some support - my boyfriend and friends are so bored of hearing my man about my weight and new diet plans but its got to change!! Now I feel so uncomfortable I am ashamed about every part of my body, especially my stomach area. I just want to hide away and am scared about how im going to feel in the summer without a coat or big jumpers to hide me, plus a group holiday (i was the fattest last summer) and my brother's wedding in July. I'm currently 9st 7 (62 kg) and my goal is 8 st(51 kg) - I was around this weight about 7 years ago and even though i had a few problems then it was the happiest i ever was with my figure so i know it might not be realistic but that's what i want to aim for! And I'm 5ft 2 so even though im not massively overweight there is not much of me for it to spread out over so i definitely am carrying too much.

Please add me (if that's how it works?!) so we can work together to help each other!! i will return the moral support favours as know im probably not the only one who needs a bit of help!!

Thanks everyone :smile:

Cass
