Intro to me and why I am here

1 Reply

Hi everyone,

I think this is the first time I have been serous about losing weight . I have tried to lose weight many other ways some healthy and some not so heathy. I have always struggled with my weight since the age of 9 when my grandad who has been a part of my life since 3 and has been there for everything in my life had a stroke and I blamed it on myself. I am coining to terms that it wasn't and that's why I want to make this change for myself and my future and my kids ( when I have them) I don't like being the way I am and now it is time to change. I don't want to be that person in the photo anymore 🙂

Bye for now

Hi and welcome, Kristin :)

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.

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to 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 :)
