in Introduce Yourself
Since the pandemic I have become more and more aware that been unhealthy and obese isn't the way to go.

I decided to use 2021 to cut the bad habits, lose weight, gain some fitness and generally get healthy..

So far I have cut out coca cola and caffeine.

Any one want to be friends and do this together?

    Sure...getting rid of pop helps a lot. I'm about to give up alcohol, which has counted for a lot of my calories, though I was fat before I ever began drinking.

    I want to lose about 75 lbs...my goal weight is 200 lbs. What's your goal weight?

    My goal is around 140!

    I find that just using common sense helps alot, I say that because its easy to over think dieting when really its easy. Eat whole foods as much as possible and weigh out your food..

    Do you plan on doing excersise aswell?

    I plan to walk and bike. Bit difficult right now as the UK is in lockdown and I am shielding. But I do plan to try harder to move more around the house

    I'm 27 years old too and 5'8.

    I cut out milk tea which is really common in our culture and started taking black coffee instead from few months.

    It helps boost my metabolism and lessen my hunger with zero calories.

    Just adding you.

    Just a bit of tip that worked for me. Quicker metabolism burns more calories.. try pushing that up. Drink warm water every once a day and a bit of exercise.. i started with just plain old walking. That helped me a lot in the initial phase. I don't know if warm water relation to metabolic activity is scientifically established but it worked for me. And it was a pretty habit

    Gained during pandemic and stress of moving as well. We got this! It's a bummer you are still in lock down! I've been moving as much as possible and drinking green tea. Feel free to add me, all of you! Or I will just go ahead and send my FR into all of you! Good long on your journeys!!

    Hey thanks for you're input! We do walk quite a lot but because it's at the speed of a 3 year old (my youngest son) I can't see it doing much 😂 we do need to take advantage of our exercise outside daily though!

    feel free to add me. I'm 5'4 and started at 248. These damn lockdowns have a lot to answer for as I was about a stone lighter at this time last year.
    I'm taking 2021 as a year to be a bit healthier and lose some weight as I want to be out that obese high risk category. I'm aiming on about 1lb a week so not quick but hopefully achievable.

    Hey! feel free to add me 🙂 I started at 210lbs down to 178lbs my goal is 112lbs, I had an unhealthy relationship with fizzy drinks, chocolate and crisps and since cutting that out I have noticed a big difference! Let’s motivate each other 💪🏼
