Hey everyone I'm Tony and i have just joined today looking to lose some weight. Been overweight most of my life and being a guy I've always been a little reluctant to talk about it with anyone. I think its definitely time to take some action, anyway things are going well so far and cant wait to mingle with people that have the same goals as me. A little worried at the moment though because i am on holiday at the end of next week and i know how i let loose on holiday with eating and drinking, just to be sociable more than anything else. Tried to lose weight before but failed and always ended up putting it back on. My girlfriend is supporting me but deep down thinks that i am just going to give up like i normally do, so i am out to prove her wrong. Normally my weakness is not seeing results quickly enough, but after doing research i have realized that the trick is to set long term goals and make a lifestyle change, so that is exactly what i am hoping to do!!!

Anyway just wanted to say Hi!!!

    Good luck on your journey. This is a great place to be for motivation and support and to meet those who have a similar goal. Don't worry about your vacation, just try to relate vacation to something else besides eating, and if you do eat keep track and go for a walk or hike or swim, something to burn some of the excess calories. Good luck again and if you are looking for friends feel free to add me as a friend!

    Welcome! It sounds like you have the right idea but remember you are doing this for you...not to prove your girlfriend wrong. You will do fine and enjoy your holiday but just eat and drink in moderation. We are all here for you. Feel free to friend me if you like. Good luck!
