Hello, im a 21 year old student and my new years resolution is (like the rest of the world) to lose some weight. Its been building up for a while but after exam binging and christmas its reached crisis point. I havent decided what diet to follow so for now im just cutting down and will be thrilled for any advice i can get!
er... not sure exactly, bit afraid to look! I'm just going to measure by clothes and stuff for a while untill i get into the swing of things, then maybe ill get the courage to weigh myself! im worried if iweigh it will just seem too daunting...
hey & welcome!
im a student too, so i know how stressful it can be to try to lose weight while in school! it took me a month or so, but once you finally get into the swing of things it's not so hard.
Hi Roxyumby!
Sounds like you're ready to get started - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
All the best - good luck with your goals - 2010 will be our year,
Lee
chubby student :)
I'm glad you're here! Surf around and settle in!
Happy Holidays!
