Hello! Basically I have been over weight for as long as I can remember and now I'm fed up!! Any takers to increase motivation and do it along side me?! I find it extremely hard to lose weight and so far lost 7lbs, help!

    Me too! I've been too comfortable for too long. I have been tracking with MFP for just over 2 weeks and I have lost 5 pounds. 59 more to go!! My diary is open and I feel encouraging! LOL

    Hey there! It seems like forever for me, so it definitely has/is involved eating, exercise, and lifestyle changes. The support you get from here is great, just don't be shy!

    I'm with you! Just started tracking my calories here again a few days ago and this time I'm really serious about it. We can do it!

    We really can! My dairy is open also and I just want to shred this fat!! As I am only 18 I ideally want to be comfortable before I go to uni. A complete fresh start!!

    Im the same! Just turned 20 and don't want to be chubby any more! Want to wear nice clothes! I have an under active thyroid so that makes it 10x harder to loose weight :D

    I joined the gym too a week ago and have done aerobics, zumba and core conditioning! Good luck x

    EDIT: Also seen you're soon to start Uni, I have just started my second year and it was where I put all my weight on, and when my under active thyroid was found out too D:
    I ate healthy, its just the going out and drinking to makes you gain so much weight! So be careful :p

    Same here! been overweight since preteen years, so most of my life... alomost 30 now! but i made the decision a few days ago that its time to change before i hit that 30 mark :) Best of luck and stay motivated! Keep in mind ( i always have to tell myself) it is a slow process!

    I'm nowhere near as young as you, and almost at my goal, but can give a good cheer when needed.
    Feel free to add.
