Making introductions. Hello!
First of all, a big hello!
I have come across this lovely site many late nights when browsing for motivation/diet tips/WHY AM I SO FREAKING HUNGRY searches on Google but never thought about signing up.. until today.
I'm 23, female and right now, so fed up with being "the fat friend".
In January I set myself the (probably unrealistic) goal of losing 50lbs by June. I lost ten, had one too many drunken nights out and forgot all about it until recently.. It dawned on me a few weeks ago that it was almost June and I had infact put those 10lbs back on and then several more. Since I was 14 or 15, I was always a little bigger and I really want, with all my heart to say goodbye to that excess weight for good. Realistically, dropping even 2 UK dress sizes would be a super massive deal, but my long term goal is around 50-60 lbs. I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks and right now, I'm honestly not ready to. In a few days when I have gotten a better grip of my hunger/diet/moodiness I will jump onto those scales (which I bought in January for my self thwarted attempt at weight loss!!)
I start a new job in a few weeks, which will be quite active and I desperately want to do well in it so here is to hoping!
After snooping around your lovely little community, I feel like this could be the biggest help of my weight loss life! You all seem so supportive of eachother and genuinely nice people and I have been fully inspired by all your stories, photos and especially your honesty!
I look forward to getting to know you all!
Erin
