in Introduce Yourself
No - really I am starting this time!!

My name is Jenny, I am 26 and live in England. I work full time in an office and am also a part time carer. I have at least 60 pounds to lose. :( It is shocking that I have let myself get so overweight - I must have realised. My clothes kept getting tighter but I stayed firmly in denial.

I really need to take control and just get fit and healthy. I am so sick of feeling so fat and unfit. I want to feel like I am 26! My weight and how I feel about my appearance is holding me back. It keeps me scared and too timid to try new things.

It just sickens me that I had this healthy body and I ruined it through laziness and greed. There are people born with physical issues through no fault of my own and yet I created my own.

I want to get strong and fit and to a healthy weight. Not just thin - doesn't appeal to me - I want to be able to run and lift weights! I am a wimp and weakling but I am going to toughen up.

If you made it through all that rambling well done!! :) Add me as a friend if you want to motivate and be motivated in return! I am determined to do this and to log in every day.

    It is easier if you think of it as losing one pound at a time..small goals each week...they will add up. Good luck We will root for you here. Just don't give up.:bigsmile:

    Hi Jenny,

    I am from the UK and 21. I set a goal for 70pounds so we are going for around the same goal. It sounds bigger than it is! But it is achievable. I have 47pounds to go.
    I have been naughty with my food for the past 3 days so I will be starting tomorrow as well, hopefully we can help each other :)

    i felt the same as you, feeling awful and hating life and really hating myself for having gained this much weight. i started 6 weeks ago, and have already dropped 15lbs by eating right. i still have yet to hit the gym..but i know thats coming.

    you can do it. my best advice is to be on the forums as much as you can, and log EVERYTHING you eat. drink TONS of water and never give up. walk when you can, move as much as you can, and get rid of anything in the house that will tempt you to eat it ALL.

    its all about portion control. you can eat the foods you like, and dont have to suffer.

    congrats on finding yourself again. !!

    **edit**
    i also work in an office, and found id never leave for lunch and eat at my desk. i now still eat my lunch at my desk, but i then use that hour to walk for 60mins. its helped tremendously!
