Time for a change, new joiner.

I want to lose at least 3 stone - my weight keeps creeping up and up, and I'm sick of buying bigger and bigger clothes. I am 5'9" and about 13 and a half stone. When I was in my late teens /early twenties I was only about 9 stone! I suppose now I am eating a lot more and moving a lot less and that's what it boils down to. No excuses!

I don't look particularly fat as I'm tall but I feel heavy. I've decided to cut out alcohol altogether as those are calories I certainly don't need. So far have gone 7 days without drinking so that's good and am sure it will help.

I have a holiday coming up in October so that will be a good motivator; I'm trying to visualise myself in nice dresses. I don't expect I will lose 3 stone by end October ( no chance!), maybe I can get part way there and keep it going !

Hi and welcome Topster :)

Yum, that pic is making me drool! ;) Well done for making the decision to get lighter and fitter, you won't regret it :)

Take a look at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a mobile) and have a look at the Welcome Newbies thread, it has a link to the NHS 12 week plan, which is a guide to healthy living, rather that a specific diet plan.

Consider joining any, or all, of our challenges, as they're fun and motivating.

Join us for the monday group weigh-in, which I have posted today, but which Lowcal will be posting in future. The latest thread can always be found in the events section, to the right of the home page.

Wishing you all the very best :)
