Hi guys ! I am GoldenPuma, 22 years old, an unconfident person that is sick of feeling bad in her own body and hating her reflection in the mirror. I know have many flaws but if I joined this forum (thanks to my best friend <3) it's because I can share my journey with you and we can support each other in the good and bad moments.
I have never been satisfied with my body and mind, always complaining about what's wrong with me and never living the moment. I used to weight 12 kgs less than today but I still not loved myself. I remember that I said that 2017 was going to be the year where I achieve my fitness and personal goals but It didn't work.
I failed. Miserably and even took the kilos that I lost back in the summer where I had time for myself and commited.
NOW IT'S TIME TO CHANGE : to prove to my future self that I CAN DO IT , that I can be happy and treat my body with respect, that my hard work will pay off and most importantly that I will LOVE myself.
So my goal for January 2018 is to lose 10kgs
I will post a motivational quote/picture everyday, here is the first one !
Thank you for reading, together we are stronger !
xx

Hi and welcome!!! Yes, you can do it. You will find lots of care and support here. Stick with us, pick a weigh in day and get started!!
Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.
Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.
Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI (can be found in the pinned Newbie post) to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for 😊
Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate 😊
To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support - which is great to get ideas of what other people are eating and I have to confess to nicking some of their menu's and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.
Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page
We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too 😊
Wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey
Puma, don't wait till 2018 you will have a harder job to do then! By waiting another five months you have effectively let yourself off the hook! Why not say by Christmas I will be , set a goal realistic and run with that . Good luck friend.
The road may be long, but I know you'll make it. It may be hard but you'll overcome all the obstacles and I'll be there with you the day you realise that you like the way you are, I promise!
