Trying to lose weight

Hey all! I'm Steph, 17 and I'm from the UK. I'm in my last year of college and I really want to lose weight before I go to university so I guess I have plenty of time :P But most of the time I just sit on my bum all day playing games. However, I have terrible willpower so I'm really hoping I'll be able to stay on the bandwagon! Plus I'm also clueless when it comes to food.

HI, I know how hard it is. I am trying to lose weight also but I keep losing my way. I want to lose it so that I can feel comfortable doing things with my daughter. My fitness pal is great, I know lots of people who are loseing weight using it or are maintaning there weight lose through it. Just don't set your weekly goal too high 1 to 2 pounds is what you should be shoting for a week. Any more than that and you will more than likely give up. I have also been to a nutricienist and have learned alot so if you have any questions feel free to ask.0

I agree with shylam. I always wanted to lose weight, but never did anything about it till about 1 month ago. I joined my fitness pal and i have lost just over 10lbs in that time without trying too hard. I've eaten watever i wanted, but in smaller portions and added more veg. Still got a while to go to reach my goal, but Little changes here and there go a long way. Goodluck0

As cliche as it sounds "do, or do not. There is no try" in losing weight. The best advice I can give is to make a decision and stick with it. Especially when you're still in school because you're going to have so many distractions. If you need feedback and accountabity feel free to add me. Otherwise best of luck with your endeavours.0

Hi Steph,
You have come to a good place. MFP provides plenty of support and has an excellent food and exercise data base.
Good Luck!0 -
