Hello, I'm Lindsay and i'm 18 years old! I've been struggling with my weight since I was around 10 years old. Late 2010, I decided to do something about it. I began my diet and exercise regime. At this point, I weighed 17 stone 12 pounds. When i weighed myself, I was in shock. I thought how could i let myself get like this? I actually felt disgusted with myself. I thought I was like 15 stone, not on the brink of 18 stone! For a young girl, that is NOT good and I burst into tears.
Since that day, I've vowed never to go back.. I took a bit of a break last year which i regret because I could have got a lot more weight off! I now though weigh atleast 15 stone 3 pounds. To me, this is a massive achievement. I still have atleast 40 pounds to go or even 50, but I look in the mirror now and I don't hate myself. I put together a little collage thingy on paint to show you guys some pictures & to see what you think! I've lost around 37 pounds. A few months ago I gained around 7 back but they're off now and I'm back on my journey. MFP has helped me so much with logging my calorie intake and exercise. People on here inspire me so much that I keep going everyday. It's been a hard journey for me. I have PCOS which is common in overweight people and i'm hoping if i get a bit more off, my symptoms may reduce!
Anyways, sorry for that long thing! feel free to add me as a friend everyone
