Default Hey There

Hi

Just another newbie joining the ranks and looking for support when the going gets tough.

A bit about me - I started on my journey a couple of years ago when I weighed over 21 stone and really didn't have a life. Unfortunately, I cannot give myself all the credit for the weight loss as I started to use a personal trainer.

He literally changed my life. Luckily I chose a trainer that not only looks at nutrition and exercise but also the motivation side of things - more of a health coach I guess (I didn't know this at the time of choosing him). We set a lot of goals which turned it into a lifestyle change and getting fit rather than looking to lose weight which I think really helped me.

I now play football for a local womens team, and exercise really isn't a chore for me anymore. Anyway enough waffling from me, I just wanted to share a bit of my story and even though I still have a long way to go feel like I am well on my way

Hi alchemy!
Congrats on your success so far - it sounds like you have a wonderful partnership with your trainer - how smart to change your life not just the number on the scale!

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 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 short time 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!
