Hi there, Dutchie here

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the site, so here's my introduction.
I'm Sara, from the Netherlands. I'm 28 years old, and have always struggled with my weight. It has gotten way too high, so now I am determined to make that lifestyle change and lose it all. My goals are very long term, because I am well aware that I need to deal with my food addictions and bad choices and not just do this for the weight loss.
In the end I would like to weigh 75 kilos, which is still overweight, but it means a loss of nearly 40 kilos. I am 112.3 now.
I am trying to do this by watching calories and exercise. I am planning to watch my calories first and when I have that under control start to focus on nutrition.

I'm looking for weight-loss buddies who can help me along who have done or are doing the same thing.

All the best,
Sara

    Hi Sara, I am Roos, 28, the Netherlands. I can relate to what you wrote. I'm stuck in a cycle of dieting and gaining weight. I need to deal with this. My main goal is to eat healthy. Three healthy meals, 2 healthy snacks. No over eating. I am 10 kg overweight, and hope to lose weight, but it is not my only goal. Feel free to add me, and message me for support. Good luck!

    Greetings, Roos

    Woohooo, more Dutchies here!! I'm a 28 year old Dutchie living in London though... For the last 6 years with my boyfriend and our 4 year old son. Originally I'm from Zoetermeer :-)
    I started off being overweight as well, and I'm almost at a point where I'm not anymore :-) I lost almost 10 kilo (22 pounds) and I have another 5 to loose.
    This site works brilliantly I think and you make a lot of friends who can help you through the hard times!
    You can always add me if you want!

    Cheers, Cynthia
