in Getting Started
I'm 33, 14 stone 9 lbs (205lbs), 5 foot 9 from the UK and am on here for what must be the 3rd or 4th time and i've GOT to stick with it this time because it's getting harder the older I get. My goal weight is between 11 and 12 stone (It needs to be maintainable and also, anything less than this makes me took ill, I got down to 9 1/2 once and looked awful, I'm one of the few genuinely big boned people!!) I've lost a fair bit on here before, and know I can do it but focus, motivation and will power are a big deal for me. I also have a boyfriend who can eat a pack of chocolate hobnobs (delicious oaty chocolate topped cookies for non UK members) with each cup of tea on top of all his meals etc and is still like a (lovely) skinny rake, so although he tries, he doesn't really understand, and obviously, doesn't know how hard it is and the help most people need with their weight loss! Anyone who needs a new buddy, send me a request.

    This is my third or fourth time trying this too. Last time before my wedding I lost maybe 10 pounds and it came right back on with the stress of normal life. I log in and although I see people posting about their own stuff, I don't have anyone really offering me support. My office is where I eat the most because everyone loves to bring in goodies. Also, the hubby is like your guy and he can throw down an entire french dip and drink the sauce like it is a soda and just never gain a pound. All my friends are model skinny and live on junk food and wine so they just do not understand why I go out with them and bring a Tupperware of health snacks. I would love to help you in your goals! Add me.

    I absolutely feel you there. He can eat takeaway every meal and he won't gain anything, it's unbelievable. You and I are actually around the same weight/goals. We can motivate each other to keep on track. :smile:

    My boyfriend is the same.. eats over 1/2 an entire container of peanut butter in one sitting and is still so muscular and trim. Sometimes I make him tuck things away where I don't know where they are. You can add me!

    Hello! I'm not from the UK however I do need to lose 40lbs. I am 56 female from AZ. So we are all in this together. My goal is to walk daily - perhaps a mile to start & increase my veggies. Not a big fan of veggies but will strive to eat some daily, preferably raw.

    Lol, if you really need bug & support, feel free, but I am fairly "undiplomatic" so might need guidance on the level of bugging required
