Just wanted to introduce myself as I'm hoping these forums are gonna help me out a bit! I have been yo-yo dieting since I was 14 years old, now 23.

Sick of my weight fluctuating so much as I tend to be either REALLY good or REALLY bad. Hopefully having a bit of support will mean I can strike more of a balance.

Weigh around 196 at the moment, height of 176cms.
Want to get down to 160 for the summer if possible as I will be finishing my degree and looking for jobs.

Hi dayoneagain!
I think many of us here can certainly relate to the yoyoing - I've been an "all or nothing" kind of dieter myself - sounds like you're ready to get started with a can-do attitude - good luck with your goals - the support you need is here.

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,
Lee
