    Everyone here is really supportive and I think even though we dont actually know these people, they help us get through everything. Whenever I start to live a healthier lifestyle, I give up because my goal just seems unattainable. But joining this group of people gives me motivation. I lost quite a bit of weight before counting calories and exercising on a daily basis, but now I actually feel healthy, and im actually seeing the changes.

    Good luck! :]

    Welcome! :) This site is grrrrreat to keep you motivated and accountable.

    I think the best inspiration for me is to browse through the Success Stories posts; some of the transformations are beyond amazing.

    Good luck, you'll do awesome!

    Hi there :smile:

    I know what you mean about feeling lonely. My social group at the moment is mostly lean, fit people :ohwell: While I do have the support of my boyfriend (who is also trying to lose weight) he works away a lot so it's generally down to me to keep myself on track.

    A couple of tips for you:

    1) Log EVERYTHING. At least at the beginning. Then you know you aren't cheating or sabotaging yourself. I was surprised at how much I was overeating when I started logging and found the first week a bit hard, but it got easier after that.

    2) In regards to exercising: find something you enjoy doing. That will make it much easier to stick at it :wink: I love rock climbing so I go to an indoor climbing gym at least once a week with a friend. With summer approaching I'm hoping to get some outdoor climbing in too.:bigsmile:

    Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

    Glad your here! I know the alone feeling!! I always thought I should be responsible enough to do this weight loss thing on my own without help! I assumed it was just my problem and I had no right burdening other people with it! Especially if I didn't get anywhere!!! This site has helped lift the burden from my shoulders and given me the support I need to make smarter decisions. I don't always do the right thing yet but .... overall my habits are better!!! I'll be here if you need someone to rant too!!!
