Trying for the millionth time to lose weight and get generally healthier..

Back around 4/5 years ago was bulimic and a drink/drug addict.. I horrible life, and an unhealthy size 8 and just under 10stone at 5ft 11.. Having mental health I've always struggled with myself, whether it's motivation, falling into bad habits or what ever..

Around 2/3 years ago, I got clean πŸŽ‰πŸ‘/WHOOOOPP/ but slipped into a deep depression, little to no activity due to never leaving my home, binge eating, and generally feeling rubbish.. and so the weight came piling on..

In 2-3 years I've gone from a size 8 to a size 18 and currently weight 17stone10.. I feel hideous, and it's not helping my mental health being so uncomfortable about myself.. So it's time for a change.. I'm determined to get down to around 11 stone and a size 10/12 (eventually) and I WILL do it.. I have a fantastic partner who is helping motivate me I have no unhealthy food in my home and I'm just sick of being so big if I'm honest so I WILL do it..

Anyway. So that's my story, and welcome to my page fellow weight losers πŸŽ‰πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ‘™

Hi there, I'm new too and totally unfit and overweight. I've got a few stones to lose, on medical grounds, though I too have struggled with depression which has made doing anything about it a real challenge.

But here is to us all, to 2017 and to a new start.

As part of my exercise plan I've just today started this free yoga program. I'm hoping it will help me on all sorts of levels.

revolution.yogawithadriene.... feeing quite excited about where the road might lead :)

Very best of luck to you x

Is the yoga for beginners?

I hope so! I'm going to give it a try and amend it as necessary to make it manageable.

Wow, to have gone through everything you have and to still manage such a positive attitude is incredible. Ive suffered clinical depression since I was in my teens so no how hard it can be to battle that and try to lose weight but I have no doubt that with the kind of strength you must have you'll reach whatever goals you set yourselfπŸ˜€

Good luck Hun!! Tx
