Day 1 - Wednesday Weigh In...

7 Replies

Hi,

Little About Me - I'm 24yrs, Cumbria. Foods always been big part of my life. I was a healthy weight as a teenager (at the time I thought I was overweight), I then got diagnosed with Epilepsy which is were my 'emotional eating' started over the years it got more extreme now I force myself to eat until I don't feel well & have put on over 5st. I have tried many different ways of losing weight from books to councellors, so fingers crossed this will work.

This is my first day for the 12 week weight loss -

Weight - 14st 11lb

Hi and welcome, iona_ellen :)

That's a perfect mantra to have :)

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), 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.

Make sure you enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. 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.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

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.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey :)

Although I am twice your age, I too remember being a slim teenager and never enjoying it as I always thought I was fat and started dieting at the age of 16 as well. Well done for trying to sort yourself out now whilst your still young. I can't say much about the epilepsy as I don't know enough, but I can tell you, you will get a lot of support from this forum. You just have to take part and post and shout if you need help. There is always somebody around with some advice. Good Luck:)

Edit - I love your mantra, I'm going to put that on my fridge.

Not what you're looking for?
