Starting (again,after finding things hard!) at 211lbs, alter

Options
Hi, my names Sophie and I'm 22 and from Manchester. I've already posted on this topic but felt the need to do it again, I've fell off the wagon and actually put weight (4lb) on over the last couple of weeks :(

2 years ago, I lost nearly 5 stone in a really unhealthy way, and want to get down to my goal weight of 140lb, but in a healthier way without completely starving myself. I'm a vegetarian, and I don't do much exercise, (which I should really start doing but I'm trying to pluck up the courage to join the gym at the moment,haha)

I love rock music, alternative beauty and fashion, and would love to meet any like minded people with a similar goal, from anywhere around the world. I feel like this is really the time for me to get serious and keep this weight off, and feel so much better!

Hope to meet you all soon, thanks in advance :)

    Hi Sophie

    Add me as a friend. I've just got myself back on the wagon, it doesn't matter if you fall off, as long as you keep getting back on!!

    I started out at about 211lb, am now about 170lb, and still going ... my target is 150lb.

    I used to live in Manchester, about 9 years ago! (I'm 38 years old.) I now live on the other side of the world in New Zealand! I'm vegetarian, and I didn't used to do any exercise at all, not if I could help it, but I'm now addicted to exercise in the way I used to be addicted to chocolate magnums!

    You can do it! Consistency and bloody mindedness!
