Evening all,

So just thought I would pop on and say hi! I have recently joined this site in the hope of inspiration and support.

I have been overweight most of my life, lost a great deal on SW back in 2015/2016, however during a past relationship of 5 years, I gained everything back on more (around 9st). Recently single, rebuilding my life, and currently receiving support and therapy to help me heal & process things due to the nature of the relationship, I now feel I am ready to tackle my weight! I have tried all sorts in the past but my relationship with food is somewhat emotional and feel calorie counting is going to be the way forward for me. I have a long journey ahead of me but looking forward to reading about everyone's journey :)

Good to have you with us, Butterflyonarose :)

Here's a great personal story to inspire you healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

You'll find everything you need by following this link healthunlocked.com/weight-l... to Pinned Posts. Have a look at the weigh in, daily diary and everything else on offer and join in when you're ready. Active participation pays off so do some exploring, chat, ask questions and encourage others - it will all pay off for you :)

Hi, I’ve only recently joined myself and already finding it a very supportive place. Once you’ve settled in then it’s a good idea to check out the weekly weigh in posts, lots of support there to help with the motivation. All the best for your journey ahead 😊

👍 I saw you'd got stuck in to the weigh-in, that's why I asked. I thought you'd enjoy it

Hi there Butterflyonarose, sounds like you have support in place therapy wise and are now motivated to get cracking on your weight, you did it before and can do it again 👍

You will find great support in here and I look forward to seeing you around and hearing of your progress. I’m a calorie counter but I make sure that it’s good healthy home cooked food too. I think what you are eating is just as important as the calories.

Good luck.

Thank you, and yes I completely agree. So important we fuel our bodies the best way we can!
