Hello, everyone
 

hello :)

My name is Nikolina, I'm 21, and I really want to be normal weight and healthy:)
I started calorie counting, and I think it really works, at least for me. I've never been thin in my life. I was a fat baby, a fat child, a fat girl, but I really don't want to be a fat woman. I feel like now is the time for me to start a new and healthy lifestyle.
My life is near perfect. I live with my boyfriend who is really supportive and loves me for who I am and not for what I look like (although he says I'm hot:o , which I can't understand, but I'm not complaining :D ). I started to be seriously aware of my weight problem about a year now, but I really didn't do much about it. I wanted to eat healthy food, but without knowing what amount of calories which food has, I failed, of course. And on top of it all, this Christmas I gained additional 5 kilos (11 pounds), and it was decided, I have to do something, and do it NOW. But still, I had no idea how to do it. I mean, I could exercise, but without managing calorie intake, it's still nothing.
But one day, innocently browsing internet I found this forum and everything changed :hug:
It was about a month ago and now I limited my calorie intake to 1800, next week I'll start to exercise, and I feel overall better:)

I would really like to make friends here because here I feel like I'm not the only person with weight problem:)

So...Hello:)

Hi Nikolina and welcome! I also have struggled with my weight for a number of years and like you I am blessed with a husband who does not care how much I weigh and still thinks I'm hot :carrot: I also stumbled across this site recently and I'll tell you, when I start to feel a little discouraged, I come onto the site and get renewed determination. I really feel I can do it this time and I hope you feel the same way.This is a really great site for support. Once again welcome and good luck along your journey.:)

:welcome2:

thank you, thank you, thank you, a million times thank you:hug:

it's so nice to actually have someone to talk to about dieting and losing weight and not to have the other person say to me how it's silly and that I look nice the way I am even if I don't:(

I feel like for me this will be a start of great socializing even if it is virtual:)



btw. Oolong is a type of tea I like the most:cofdate:

I'm a tea freak:D
