    Your English was great, I started a couple of months ago with the same problem, years of trying to lose weight with no success. This site is wonderful as long as you are honest with yourself and about what you eat and maintain your calorie intake you will lose, I have almost lost 10 pounds, I am so excited!!!

    I was just introduced to this site and I'm very impressed with what I can see so far. I am living proof that it is possible to lose weight. I started about 8 months ago when I weighed myself for the first time in years (denial is bliss, as we all know) to discover, to my horror that I weighed 318lbs.

    I decided that it was time to do something about it so I bought myself a treadmill, changed my diet a little (not drastic because I knew I would never stick to a major change) and started to drink water instead of pop.

    I started at 2mph on the treadmill, for 10-15 minutes at a time, which was sheer hell, every step of the way, and gradually upped the speed and time as I felt more comfortable.

    I now do 1 hour at 4mph, 3-4 times per week and weigh in at 239lbs. I feel sooooo much better about myself now. I finally believe that my goal of 198lbs (Just want to make it under that 200lbs mark!!) is very achievable.

    So my advice to anyone starting this process is to take it one day at a time, don't be a slave to your scale (I personally didn't weigh myself for 4 months during the process), allow yourself to 'cheat' a little from time to time (if your miserable you'll never stick with it), set obtainable goals, and be realistic. You didn't gain weight overnight and it certainly isn't going to come off overnight.

    Best of luck to everyone!

    They say being cold is a great way to burn extra calories, I bet being from Ice land you will be down to your weight in no time at all.
