I have finally decided that I need to do something about my weight as over the last year it has piled on, okay I'm not the biggest but I know how I feel and that's miserable.
I have realised half my problem is I never no where to start and struggle to get motivated I work full time and am doing a college course so I'm always tiered and cant seem to drag my self off the sofa when I get home oh and I love food but I suppose that's why were all here.
I'm hoping that with your help and motivation I will/can do this. id love to here others stories and how they got on. sorry for the rambling.

Hiya, newbie as well! I could write of the exact same situation! Love food, lack of exercise etc etc! My biggest problem is cooking for one, when I lack motivation & it's difficult to prepare good wholesome meals! So any tips would be welcome! Good luck on your journey, let's hope this 12 week plan helps!
Yes fingers crossed to be honest I struggle too as I have too cook two different meals one for patner and daughter then mine it's so hard to not taste test lol. I have started planning my meals and prepping on a Sunday so this week I preppered my weeks lunches I have brought a small pot which I put yoghurt and granola In that's quick and easy so I do on the day. I've also prepared a large fruit salad to snack on or breakfast. And snacks I have prepped cut up veggies for as and when needed I'm hoping it work and helps I'm determined. It's just the exercise for me I need to do something 😀
Hello Charlie and welcome, I have been here for 2 weeks and lost 6lb but I'm a veteran dieter and have shed many stones over the years. This time I'm doing it differently, I started trying to lose weight this time in January 2015 and so far i have shed 2 stone 12lb.
The difference this time around has been exercise, I focused all my energies on that instead of eating and so far its been a great success. Don't get me wrong, i have fallen off the wagon several times but i have never given up on the exercise. I walk around 3 to 5 miles daily and I use the gym. I can't imagine life without exercise now.
I find if i walk before dinner then I don't eat that much. I know its not easy trying to fit exercise in but I would say park at the furthest parking space in the supermarket and walk to the door. Get off the bus a stop before yours. Walk for 10 minutes then turn back, its amazing how quickly your stamina builds and the desire to exercise increases which in turn helps with eating.
